No biggie Deb. My rheumatologist has a teenage daughter who is celiac and a brother-in-law who was dx'ed later in life. He is the one who thought I was too even though the blood tests always came back negative. He told me I can take my GF pasta to some place like Olive Garden and have them cook it in the water they use for their pasta without any problems. Sounds like cross contamination to me so I've never done it. It stunned me that he said I could though. Makes me wonder just how much he really knows about celiac disease. Granted he is a rheumy doc not a gastro one but I would have thought he would be up on the disease since his daughter has it. He's still a keeper in my book. He really listened when all the other docs I saw didn't.
