Hi Everyone,

Andrea Francini, a scientist, and myself would like to stimulate scientific 
work for a better understanding of the triggers for the onset of celiac 
disease in predisposed individuals.  As a start, we encourage anyone in the 
mailing list to answer the four questions below.  The reason for this 
informal poll is not to produce any scientific evidence, but to identify 
hypothetical causes of the onset of celiac disease that may have not been 
thoroughly explored in past biomedical studies.

Please send your answers to Andrea Francini ([log in to unmask]) and
Janet Kline ([log in to unmask]).  We will follow up with
any relevant indication that may emerge from this poll.  We will post a 
summary of our survey to the group.  Thank you in advance for your help!

Best Regards, Andrea & Janet
