1/10th of my high school class was diagnosed with Celiac Disease within 2 years of graduation. I don’t know much about it, but I do remember all of us obsessing over the bread & dairy products. When you’re eighteen and eat pizza religiously every Tuesday… We still sort of obsess over it still. Thank you for your article. Sometimes it’s hard to remember there are other foods besides the teenager’s staples.

I agree with you about the whole bread issue. First of all why would anyone want to eat something that tastes like flat cardboard? I was diagnosed over 5 years ago and I live a very good food life. There are many foods that are naturally gluten free and find that one can enjoy life without gluten or even trying to replace it. I eat healthier now that I ever did with a gluten heavy diet. My philosophy is don’t replace what you can’t eat but expand what you can.

Thank you for this posting. I do not have celiac disease, but due to my infertility (PCOS) it was recommended that I go gluten free. I have started to learn a little as a dear friend was just recently diagnosed. This has helped me understand a little more and I love that you don’t just concentrate on bread, but on other foods as well. Thanks a million for those of us who want to learn more!!!!
