My cousin Kari sent me a message this morning that a good friend of hers has been recently diagnosed with WG. From the info she sent, it looks like she has seen three different doctors. One gave her the diagnosis (not sure how - whether it was a blood test or biopsy), the second told her she was fine and the third was just having her monitored every couple of months. But then she states that her last appointment shows kidney involvement but the doc didn't seem to think it was related!! I don't think she is even on any meds at this point.

Kari asked if she could put her friend in touch with me and I just sent a message saying of course. I will definitely suggest coming here AND getting to see a Wegs specialist.

However, I read her FB page (she had a note about it and was requesting her friends to help her) and she is getting a lot of info about going to natural docs and avoiding all the "bad" medicines regular doctors prescribe. One person goes as far as to suggest a particular doctor and that she might be "cured" with just one visit. This same person also says she did a bit of reading about Wegs and has come to the conclusion that it could be food allergy related.

I have lots of respect for natural, holistic docs - I see one myself - but I'm really concerned about the advice she is getting. When she does contact me, what websites, resources, advice would you all suggest?
