Hey Chirley
Hi, Chirley, I was feeling a little better about your doctors until reading this latest post about the conversation with your GP.
Regarding Bruce, the doctor's office said we will get the results of the metabolic tests next week. I hope that means it is good news.
Celiac is getting more press here these days. I had celiac, gliadin and food sensitivity testing last year, was told I didn't have celiac but nonetheless was told to stay away from grains and all products containing gluten for 3 months, because I was having some autoimmune responses. Bruce got the same information about his testing. But that was a year ago. I wish I knew more about at what stage autoimmune responses trigger non-absorption. One thing that was interesting in the Mayo clinic article was that the doctors said while they still don't know exactly where in the gut that copper is metabolized, they got good results from oral supplementation combined with a gluten free diet.
If Bruce ends up with IV supplementation, I definitely will let you know the protocol.
You definitely got my attention when you said someone from Parliament was visiting. That would certainly be a reason to straighten up the house.
Hugs, Catherine
