Dear Tex,

Happy anniversary - you're doing an amazing job in helping people and deserve all the accolades in the world for keeping this place going. Many of us would be lost without this wonderful, supportive forum.

:yourock:

Also, a great big thank you to all the people here who offer help and encouragement - it's a wonderful family!!!

Love,
Kari

Tex,
Thank you for all you have done to to help me to understand how to live with MC. I learned more from this board than from 30 plus years medical consultation. I particularly appreciate your gentle approach to "newbies", as it takes some time to understand how serious gluten sensitivity can be and how difficult it is to learn exactly what gluten-free means AND the effort required to maintain that status. I am immensely grateful. :bigbighug:

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your kind words. And remember that the information from your experiences that you've shared here is just as valuable as anything I have shared. We are all students of this disease, and together we will continue to expand the knowledgebase to make recovery easier for those who are diagnosed in the future.

We've learned so much more about treating the disease during the past 10 years than I ever expected. I can't wait to see what the next 10 years will bring.

Love,
Tex

Oops- I seem to be late to the party (again) but I am also extremely grateful for the guidance and research based sound advice I received here. I believe it has made all the difference in my getting my life back or being disabled and emaciated. I know that it takes a tremendous amount of time and energy Tex, but it's a priceless site. Thank you

I just wanted to add that this discussion board is very unique in the way that it treats its members with respect and loving kindness. It is palpable. I never thought that possible through a computer.....Thank You for helping me get my life back with gentle loving kindness ( No, I was not raised by extreme hippies) :grin:
