Anne replied to Yvonne's discussion 'Vitamin D3 - Never Saw It Coming . . .'"If you are having problems with many nutrient levels you may want to be checked for things that interfere with absorption.

Anne replied to Kelly's discussion 'How did you find out you had Type 2?'"Blurry vision is often a symptom of high blood sugar. As the blood sugar rises, a person becomes more nearsighted.

Teresa said… - Hi Anne--I am from Texarkana. I contacted you after I found out I had Celiac a couple of months ago. Just ran across your page. Thanks for the help that offered getting started on the gluten free diet. I am feeling much better. It has been a slow process. I am very very sensative. Visited the Whole Foods Market sat in Little Rock. Found lots of new things to try that are not available in Texarkana.

- I think if you go to your main page you can accept friend requests. You can look at the top of your page and it shows you if you have any messages or friend requests. You don't have to accept them but it makes it easier to communicate since you can send a private email to friends and don't have to just go through the forum discussions.
