Calliana,

My mother died at age 94 of Alzheimers. I tried once, before the obvious onset of alzheimers, to get her to cut out gluten from her diet, not because of alzheimers but because she had intestinal issues that I thought might be helped by dietary changes. She got angry with me for even suggesting it and she hardly ever got angry like that. I surely understand how changing a person's eating habits, especially ones that are so ingrained, are really difficult if not impossible.

I guess I am just skeptical about any pill being developed that will have any kind of powerful effect on the disease, when it is well advanced at least. Seeing my mother's decline was so difficult and sad. I am sorry for what you and your mother are going through. How can you not hope for there to be an answer or at least something that offers some hope?
