Ali, You asked about GI problems- I do have some GI issues

that I try to control through diet. This is gross, but since you

asked here goes: A year and a half ago I noticed that my stools were

yellowish sometimes and it freaked me out. This is before I noticed

that my skin was yellowish too. Over the past year and a half, I

have been trying to make sense of a few weird symptoms and finally

earlier this year I stumbled acrosss the mercury issue. BINGO!

becasue in 2006 i discovered I had a cracked filling in one of my

teeth, but I did not actually get it fixed until this year. That

mercury filled tooth could have been cracked for two years because I

changed jobs and lost my dental insurance so I did not go to the

dentist. (thought I'd been fine for a while) Anyway, I think the

cracked mercury filling put a toxic burden on my system and as a

result the Gilbert's thing showed up. In Oct. I had the other 6

mercury filled teeth replaced and hopefully will start chelation

sometime in 2008. I am hoping chelation will cure " Gilbert's " . What

GI issues do you have and what is Celiac again? Thanks, Sidney
