Hi Kandee,
I've been away from the boards for a few days. We had a long weekend to celebrate the Queen's birthday. Firstly, very sorry, but I can't spell. A site which tells you about H is http://www.ironoverload.org.
It's a genetic disease which is also from the celts and apparently a number of celiacs also have it. I was fine until menopause. I suppose, shedding blood every month keeps the iron levels down, so I never knew I had it.
It started with the celts who were warriors. Because they were constantly fighting with swords and had many wounds, their bodies adapted so that their organs stored iron and they survived. Not so good for us long-lost relatives!!
Anyway, you just need a blood test to check on your iron levels and if they are too high after 3 goes, you have another blood test which isolates the gene.
Thanks for the hints with baking. Also I'll see if I can find site details for the other research studies for celiac.
Hope you had a good weekend,
Best regards,
Bev
