Des (Diethylstilbestrol)

I just started reading "Our Stolen Future" (1996). In chapter 4, the effects of DES are discussed. At one point, there is mention that supposedly there is growing evidence (circa 1996) that DES-exposed women have a greater liklihood of developing autoimmune diseases. The book does not mention celiac disease but does list other autoimmune conditions commonly mentioned on this board.

I am curious if anyone believes their problems are DES (diethylstilbestrol) related. Also, as a male, I would be interested in hearing from any males who happen to know that their mother took DES.

Thanks.

      Perimenopause/menopause

      By Celiacandme · Posted

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.
