Carol, She has been diagnosed by her family doctor but I am talking about someone who has a special interest in celiac patients and their unique needs. Not all family practice physicians are familiar with the ins and outs of this condition. Also, a correction on how many litres of fluid she drinks per day. It is only 4. Still a very good amount (about 16 cups for those of you not familiar with metric). Dana Haas R.N.
