Anyone have gluten intolerance

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

I know I don't stop by often but you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

After a few years of some success with pancreatin (Viokase) for

Madelung's Disease (the non HIV form of what seems to be the same

lipodystrophy that occurs with PI's) a suggestion that I might be

gluten intolerant came up. Though I had not tested positive for any of

the three antibodies, I seemed to have the lions share of the symptoms

including recently developed hypothyroidism.

I've been on the gluten free diet three months now and what a

difference! I think it's worth asking to be checked if you seem to have

the symptoms. It's just a blood test.

Also if you already know that you are gluten intolerant could you

please post something or if you find out that you are or go on the diet

because you have symptoms could you please post something as this would

represent yet another point of connection between HIV Lipo and other

lipodystrophies.

Have a wonderful New Year!
