I am aware of people having acupuncture etc to relieve bloating/pain symptoms of celiacs, but a cure seems highly optimistic. (My son is completely symptom-free on his gluten-free diet as recommended by you after endoscopy). Have you ever heard of this?” I reply: Thanks. I also think this is absurd! Yes, I have seen such claims before. Recently, a 12 year old girl was claimed as "cured" - but when I arranged blood tests for her, it showed up that she was very sick again - having gone back on gluten on a false promise of cure. In my opinion these “cure” claims are irresponsible! Challenge such people to supply you the data on what their claims are based upon. There can be no credibility without good data. Thanks, Rodney Ford.
