Re: GInger or anyone in remission

[Guest guest]

thanks I feel all of us here have that attitude - the right one to

survive this and anything that comes our way - I didn't freak out

when double dx'd with celiac/crohns i just read ,educated myself,

prayed and was led to scd and thru that and the power of prayer I

feel I've come this far and will go on - again I have no desire to go

back but to maybe eat out as a family someday and not be so scared

will be nice

thanks again
