I do plan to keep having regular blood tests to monitor everything. My gastro doc is not a Celiac specialist by any means (nor does he really have a personality, I need a different gastro doc to be sure), and he really had no approach. When I inquired about spelt, he said, spelt is a grey area, some Celiacs can eat it and some can't. He wasn't willing to do any research or discuss it any further, so I did my own. And it worked. I don't mind if you continue to post on the spelt topic at all. It is good discussion and it really made me do a lot of thinking, which I welcome. Ginger Sea,

I'm glad you made it through your biopsy- I know all those tests are no fun whatsoever. Happy recovery and I hope you continue to feel really well. There's a very interesting article I found with the Celiac Sprue association on spelt: http://www.csaceliacs.org/documents/Spelt220062-10-06_3_.pdf I think it's probably really important to have yearly blood tests to check for antibodies, especially if you definitely have Celiac disease. Anyway, I promise not to post any more on this topic, even though *cough cough* I have to admit I disagree with your doctor's approach based on my experience with Celiac specialists here but I wish you the very best health and I'm so glad you're doing well. -Sea Hey!

I can eat spelt. I am still in shock. It is a difficult thing to voluntarily potentially poison your own body to see if possibilities exist. I struggled with it every time I ate spelt, even if it was delicious. If you are thinking of trying spelt, I would wait until you have been on a GF diet for at least 10 months to a year, so your body has time to heal first. Since you are from the South, I will be in Charleston at the end of September (for a conference), any tips? Any restaurants you can recommend? the other ginger Ginger,
