Re: Re: From Beth L: My thyroid is enlarged,

[Guest guest]

Moss,

Our found that both she and her son have Celiac

disease. . . She said that, after five days on the

diet, that her son was a different child . . . And

that, at four years old, he asks of food has wheat or

gluten, then, if it does, says " No thank you, it makes

my head hurt " . . . Doesn't that say it all?

is expecting another child and working . . . but

she drops in every so often . . . She's such an

inspiration. She had thyroid problems that have gotten

much better during her pregnacy. I added her name to

this post to get her attention. thinks that

implants triggered the disease.

In Italy, they test all newborns for Celiac disease,

one out of eight babies has it. It's considered

genetic. But no one in 's family had it before

she and her son.

If one has it, it's very important that it is

diagnosed and the diet strictly followed!

Hugs,

Rogene
