There is an article from the current issue of New England Journal of Medicine, about medical progress in the treatment and diagnosis of celiac (copy and paste the link into browser):

If it does not open, go to celiacchicks' site, the article is linked on the first page, under the second or third picture from the top. You normally have to have a subscription to see full articles on the NEJM , but the CeliacChicks have generously reproduced it.

Thanks.

The link does not always work. You may have to find it on celiacchicks' home page, under the second or third photograph, called The New England Journal of Medicine.

I couldn't get the link to work, and I couldn't find celiacchick anywhere on this board (I did a member search).

I was very glad to see such a comprehensive article in the NEJM. Some of his information was daunting, in that nonresponders' diagnoses are much more limited than I thought, and fairly dismal!!!!!!
Guess we had all better tighten up wherever we can......I'm thinking about retiring and dedicating the rest of my life to raising my own food! Nah...........at least, not yet!

Thank you I printed it off so I could read it later when I get a moment.

thanks this looks excellent.

I get tired of seeing "losing weight" as a symptom of celiac disease. I am overweight, the result of having celiac disease, and would like to see that part of the disease acknowledged and addressed. Has anyone here seen it addressed by a doctor? If so, I certainly would like to read about it. The article was really interesting BUT, my villa were flattened and my weight was over 230#. I sure would like to know WHY.

"The risk of breast cancer however, appears to be reduced."

I'll take every bit of good news I can squeeze out of this disease. Particularly since that sentance comes right after a particularly grizzly one. That article could scare you silly if you let it.
