Celiac Disease

I don't, although I hardly eat any carbs as it is. I know this one girl who not only has it, but is also a vegan. I used to tell people she can't eat food.
I had a friend who had it. She kept losing weight and
eventually we lost her, no matter what was tried.
Very difficult disease.

It's a chronic illness, it never goes away. He might have stoped showing symptoms, but the damage is still being done to his intestinal tract. I suggest he sees a Gastroenterologist just incase
Maybe I'm wrong though.

Well, he's seen about 10 or more doctors in the last few months since he was diagnosed with leukemia and then spent over a week in the hospital when his compromised immune system was hit by a virus, a staph infection and another infection with a 50% mortality rate. They had all kinds of doctors there and now he's going to one of the top cancer centers in the country and they've all known about it. They say it could even be related to the celiac.

I the immune system can do some funky stuff, effect soooo many systems. If any place can help him out, MD Anderson is the place to be.
