<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> All the people who answered this post said YES except one. Most people consider celiac disease an inconvience and not life threatening. (That is, if you stay on a gluten free diet.) Everyone said that children are a blessing and they would not change a thing! I agree with all the wonderful people who sent me letters! My children have been a blessing to me, and even if one of my children or grandchildren get celiac disease, I am sure they will be able to handle it. As to the one person who blamed her mother for having celiac disease and then passing it on to her, I have a question to ask you. Who is your mother to blame? Your mother gave you life and you should be grateful to her. Get a different attitude about yourself and start living life!! Mitzi in Michigan
