Re:Crohns and possible gluten sensitivity

January 2, 2004

This is off the subject of your original message asking for help in finding

an acupuncturist, but I am wondering if you have ever tried a gluten free diet?

It is possible that you may be sensitive to gluten even if you do not have

full blown celiac disease. It may not cure you to trial eating this way, but

may alleviate some symptoms. Just a thought.

More information on celiac disease can be found at http://celiac.com

I am not pushing this next doctor's site but felt you might be interested in

what she says about the possible wheat/gluten/dairy and crohn's connection.

Here is the page:

hi. i am a 50 year old female who has had crohns for 15 years. i

have lost half of my intestines to surgery. after the last surgery

two years ago i begin to look in to alternative medicine (even thou

the doctors all said that it wouldn't help and might do harm) and am

finding a lot of help through nutrition. several things i have read

have lead me to believe that acupuncture might help as well but

can't find where to go in my area. i am in the middle of western

oklahoma so the nearest place would probably be oklahoma city but

can't even find anyone there who can tell me where to look. can

anyone tell me how to find an acupuncturist? or is this is something

that acupuncture doesn't help. thanks.
