Celiac Explained
Celiac Disease (CD) has been making more and more news lately, and not just on the Dime. A recent article in Scientific American offers some history, explanation, and hope for the disease’s sufferers. 1 in 133 Americans are estimated to have CD, and very few of them find out about it until the complications caused by the disease become more severe than the initial symptoms themselves. The article gets sciencey in spots, but stick with it. Many thanks to the numerous friends who forwarded it to me.
a lady who works in the finance department for the city has a three year old that is diabetic and they are always involved in our auctions and stuff. She just found out yesterday that’s she’s got celiac.
