Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Amy, would you mind sharing with us the specifics that you wish Dr. McDougall had included? It would help us in writing to him, if we have ideas of suggestions for improvement. Thanks, LaDonna - Amy Lovelace Vegan GF Friday, September 30, 2005 8:40 AM Fw: The McDougall Newsletter - September 2005 I am passing this on to our group, mostly because I am so dissappointed in the article about CD. I wrote to Dr. Mcdougall and I hope you will too. I am glad he wrote about it, I just wish he had gotten better information first.

Intestinal problems that linger despite adherence to the McDougall Diet may be the result of celiac disease (CD). As many as one in every hundred people-1% of the population-is affected by CD, a condition caused by gluten-protein molecules most commonly found in wheat, barley, and rye.1 Celiac disease prevents the small intestine from effectively absorbing necessary nutrients.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 LaDonna- Her are just a few of the points that I made. There are many more My first dissappointment had to do with the effects of undiagnosed CD- There are many more symptoms than what was listed. The main symptom that was not listed is being very over weight, also, general aches and pains, acne, Fatigue Ect... Secondly, in the USA oats are not acceptable for CD. Which was not out lined I think well. It lead to the thinking of oats as an okay food source. Thirdly, Dermatitis Herpetiformis is CD! It is not just another condition As for infants and prevention. It is genetic.. and it can be triggered on anytime in your life. I was very dissappointed as it felt like he was just another uneducated doctor, who really does not know or understand this condition. I felt this article could lead many to wrong conclusions, and therefore bad health and choices. One thing he did not say, which is fine, but I find very interesting is that it takes a child an average of 6-18 months to get diagnosed with CD. A man 1-3 years.. but for Women it can take 10 or more years. I think this article supports the kind of thinking in the medical community that leads to adults, esp. women not being diagnosed for such a long time. Sorry, I will get off my soap box now :-( Amy L. - LaDonna Friday, September 30, 2005 11:24 AM Re: Fw: The McDougall Newsletter - September 2005 Amy, would you mind sharing with us the specifics that you wish Dr. McDougall had included?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I also get his newsletter, and found that he did not EMPHASIZE that you can't eat gluten in small amounts. It seemed in the article, to my understanding, that he figured that you would consume some gluten....... Also, the sourdough mentioning didn't help. Maybe someone would eat it and think they were cool. Sue , " Amy Lovelace " <loveamy@c...> wrote: > LaDonna- > > Her are just a few of the points that I made.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Sue - Those are really good points that I did not even catch. It would be great for you to write him and point it out. He e-mailed me back and just said thank you for the thoughtful comments. So no big deal.. I was really nice about it, because I really like him a lot.
