Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Don't forget --the filler must be fast-acting, NOT a slow response filler. Many people are lactose intolerant including celiacs who are gluten intolerant. Many people with MS have undiagnosed celiac disease. The percentage is high. Many celiacs have the same neuro symptoms and some were misdiagnosed for M.S. Brain lesions are identical in CD and MS. Dr Gillson ( Tahoma Clinic) who used to see more than 200 MS patients said a high percentage of them had celiac disease. One can also have no obvious symptoms of gluten intolerance. The blood test you can request is the celiac panel( 4 tests). However the antibodies don't show up there until advanced stages. The small stool tests available through www.enterolab.com are much more accurate. We have celiacs in our group who had negative blood tests.
