Hey ,

I was going to say, it's so good to hear your voice but I guess I

should say, it's so good to read your words. LOL I'm so glad the

operation went OK. We were getting very worried when we didn't hear

anything from you. Sorry about the computer crash. That is such a

pain.

Again, I'm just so glad to hear you're OK. Take care and do what the

doctor tells you to do. Rest is very important right now!

Hello dear Genny, Debbie/FL, Jerry, Luanne, Bozena, Pam in CT, and all,

I want to hug you all in thanks for the prayers and encouragement. I am always so happy to hear good news when it is posted, and I double up on the prayers for those having difficulties (we all understand).

I'm doing well, still in recovery phase after hysterectomy, but not in so much pain now...actually, the symptoms of the AIH are much harder to deal with than this past surgery. Oh, I did also have another laparoscopy for a liver biopsy by the transplant team in Miami, but haven't heard from them yet. Demerol and Versed were used for conscious sedation, so it was very easy and painless.

My son, Danny, has a 16th birthday party today. He wanted to ride go-carts (since he didn't get a car for a present!)...do you think I should join in the fun or act my age and just watch? So many decisions..LOL!!!!

My love and prayers to all.

God bless you,

April 30, 2001

.... happy birthday to Danny! Of course you should act your

age.... how old do you think you are? I`m about 24....

Again I`m happy your surgery went so well and am praying that your new

liver comes soon.

btw... I had a birthday of sorts today (April 29) myself..... I

celebrated 7 years of sobriety.... God is good..

love and serenity

Congratulation on your big day! You should be proud of yourself!

Hi Jerry,

Like you said "God is good"! Congrats on your anniversary. You know I always keep you in my prayers,

1) Blood tests for CD often give false negatives.

2) If you haven't been eating gluten, you probably will get a false negative from blood test or endoscopy.

3) CD has highly varied symptoms, and many people with CD are asymptomatic.

4) Many people have more than one food-related problem. Dairy products very often cause difficulties for people with CD, but the source for lactose/casein intolerance often heals after a period of eating GF and avoiding dairy products.

Hi everyone,

I'm new here. Sorry it's taken me a week or two to introduce myself.

I signed up to get information on the celiac diet, and hopefully on

restaurants and stores that are in the Bay Area. I'm in Livermore.

My doctor thinks there is a possibility I could have celiac disease,

but it isn't completely clear yet. We did a blood test for it, but

that has come out negative. I seem to notice some problems when I eat

wheat (or at least a lot of it) but from what I have read so far, I am

not sure that my symptoms fit the celiac diagnosis. So I'm not sure

what's going on yet!

I also have other problems going on with other dietary restrictions.

It seems that dairy is a problem, and I have to avoid quite a number

of other foods (citrus, vinegar, tomatoes, chocolate - the list goes

on). I have gastroparesis, and have to eat pureed, low-fiber, and

low-fat food to fit with that diagnosis. Do any of you deal with

multiple diagnoses? If so, how do you get it all to fit together?

I'm having a tough time getting it all to fit together in terms of diet.

Many thanks,

- Some good resources in Livermore:

* Van's Health Food - lots of primarily GF groceries and a great

local place to stock up. Probably will have most of what you need that

you can't find in regular grocery stores.

* Trader Joe's has many GF items

* Fire and Ice on First Street was very accommodating - they asked

right up front if anyone had allergies for our party and then did a

special for me in the kitchen away from the main grill.

* Taqueria Consuelito on Vasco Road has addicting $1 tacos that seem

to be safe for me.

* Whole Foods in San Ramon and Draeger's Market in Blackhawk have

tons of food for you - worth the drive. I especially like Draeger's.

Just exit 580 at Tassajara and take it all the way up to Blackhawk,

right on Diablo Road, and it's on the right. GF aisle is in the

middle, but there's other GF items all around the store.

* PF Changs at Stoneridge has a GF menu available (although I'm about

done with " Chang's Spicy Chicken " for the rest of my life - can they

just get one beef dish on there?)

Here's the map for shops and restaurants in the greater Bay Area:

I myself found that after a year or so of strict gluten-free eating, I

could return to eating other foods that I gave me trouble before such

as dairy and corn.

I am at Sandia so let me know if you have any further questions on

local options.

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Joe--

Have you spoken with the manager at PF Chang's? Our local Chang's, in

Emeryville, will fix just about any item on the regular menu GF. The customer

just has to ask or, preferably, call in advance and let them know you're coming

and would love GF beef
