Thanks, Angy
I'll be interested to see what Tex has to say about it.

Joan,
What can I say? Clearly, that is the most comprehensive, accurate, and enlightening article ever written about gluten-sensitive enteropathy, that is available on the internet. The article covers it all, and I see nothing in it that I disagree with. His treatment of the gene issue is absolutely superb. Everything in it is up-to-date, and accurate. Frankly, I'm not surprised that the author is not an MD, either, because as a group, precious few MDs have the incentive, (nor do they feel that they can spare the time), to even make an effort to stay on the cutting edge of research and knowledge, to the extent that the author obviously does. Instead he's a state licensed acupuncturist, a board certified nutrition specialist, and he has a diplomate certification in homeopathic medicine. It's a super article for anyone interested in understanding all the implications of what we are dealing with, with this disease.
Actually, Joanna posted a link to that article in the Current Research forum, about a year and a half ago, but I'm guessing that very few members even noticed it, let alone took the time to read it completely, (it is a long article, but well worth the time it takes to read it and absorb it), so I'm glad that Angy posted the link here. Maybe more will read it, this time around.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Thanks, Angy and MO, Tex
I will print it out and read it.

This is something we've seen with those of us with the double DQ1 gene.A stronger gene influence is exerted when several of the DQ genes are present together-i.e DQ2/DQ2, DQ8/DQ8, DQ2/DQ8, DQ1/DQ1. This is called a “gene-dosage effect”. The gluten/immune reactions are more significant when there are specific combinations of genes. It amounts to a more gluten intolerance picture in one individual with these gene factors, as opposed to another individual that may have more of a gluten sensitivity

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
Gloria,
Thanks for pointing that out. I also noticed that remark when I reread that reference, and I intended to comment on it, but after reading through all the other information there, I forgot to mention it when I posted.
In addition to the five members we have with double DQ 1 genes, we do have two members who have double DQ 2 genes, Andrew, (thedell19), and Bob, (bobh). Both also had a pretty tough time achieving remission.

Joan,
I had one like that at one time, it's been a while.
Have you tried cut/paste in an email to yourself, and then printing it? Printers can be a ROYAL PAIN IN BOOTY, something we clearly don't need here! Good Luck & if you would like, I'd be more than happy to print it out and send you a copy.

Joan,
Somewhere in your printer setup, (probably in an "advanced" tab), you should have an option for Page Layout. The choices will be "Front to Back", or "Back to Front". If you click on the one it shows, a drop-down menu should become available, to allow you to select the other option, if you want. "Front to Back" is usually best, though, since it automatically collates the pages for you. Then click on "OK" to confirm the selection, and record it. In windows XP, you can access it by clicking on the "File" option in your menu bar, (at the top of your browser screen), and then selecting "Print" from the drop-down menu. In the pop-up window that opens, click on "properties", and in the window that opens, click on the "Advanced" tab. Then proceed as I outlined in the first few lines of this post.
The best way to get a "balky" printer to print what you want, is to highlight the text, images, etc., that you want to print, and then click on the "Print" icon. When your printer "verification" window opens, look inside the "Print Range" box, and click on the "Selection" option. If that doesn't do it, it probably can't be done.
