Hubby had a quadruple bypass today. He is doing great... better in fact, they tell me, than people way younger than 73! Ventilator is out and he is pretty much drugged up:)
The small world part... I went out for a cigarette late in the day and as I was walking out of this smoke free building/campus.. saw another lady with cigarettes.. she wanted to know where to smoke so showed her the easement with the highway..LOL Smokers are generally chatty people anyway.. turns out she has celiac! Told her about MC. What are the odds I would walk out of a non smoking building on a non smoking campus and run into one of US??? LOL

Hi grannyh,
Good news about hubby. Best wishes for an uneventful recovery.
Interesting encounter. I seem to be hearing about more and more people with MC. My niece's hubby and my brother's girlfriend were just diagnosed with MC (no gentic connection to me). Another niece, age 23, has begun to notice symptoms that she thinks are gluten-related.
Hugs,
Polly

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
I agree, it seems like I am always meeting people who are gluten free. Not necessarily MC, some have other symtoms that have led to them giving it up. I met two people just this week.
Another girl has been going to Dr. Christiane Northrup's Women's Clinic in Maine. This girl is 44 and has a lot of issues including hormonal. The first thing they did was remove gluten and dairy from her diet. Last week they removed yeast. I can see such a difference in the way she looks, she has dropped 15 pounds (she needed and wanted to) and is feeling so much better.
I still wouldn't give up gluten or anything else if I didn't have to, but I do and it is what it is.

Grannyh,
Glad to hear the heart surgery went well. Hopefully he will bounce back quickly.
It is a small world. I often run into people and have the gluten conversation. I have a nephew that went gluten free last year and it has changed his life. He has lost 70 pounds and has never felt better.

Glad to hear your hubby is doing well 
As for gluten free people....here in So. California it is quite commonplace. Whether many of them are allergic, sensitive or merely seeking a healthier lifestyle I'm not always sure. One friend who is a celiac and has M.S. actually controls all her symptoms with diet. She is the only person I know who has more sensitivities than I do.
