Newspaper article

[Lucy]

Hi all,

Recently learned that there's a FRONT PAGE article on celiac disease in the Friday, Dec. 9th, '05, Wall Street Journal. I've always found their contributers to be very knowlegible when they take on a subject to report on unlike most newspapers whose writers have so little understanding of their subjects, yet they write about them anyway! Ha! Figure if I know a subject well enough to see if they really understand it, and they do, then that trust carries over into other topics which I know less about.

Anyway, in this format, the print is too small and faint for me to read on the screen, so I'll have to have it printed out if I can get it done in time. I would imagine that the article will just cover the Gold Standard method of testing for celiac -- the blood tests, gene tests, and small bowel biopsy if they talk about diagnosis.

At any rate, the more that's known about celiac disease and gluten sensitivity (gs), the easier it'll be for those doing the dietary treatment regardless of which diagnosis they're doing it for. Don'tcha just hate it when you hear someone referred to as a "picky" eater? Ugh!!! Little do they know.

Perhaps there's even some new stuff in that article.

If anyone wants to check that article out on the internet, I suggest you do it right away before it's archived.

Yours, Luce
