Well, folks, here's a new question - or one that I have not seen addressed
on this LIST.

At age 40, I was a student at the University of Minnesota, and because of
my (then) "advanced" age, the school insisted on a complete physical.  Much
to my surprise, the opthamologist told me I was red-green color deficient.
That does not mean I can't see traffic lights, and it does not mean I don't
see colors, it just means that there are some degrees of colors in the red
and green areas that I do not see the same way other people do. I told my
parents, and it turned out that my father, who was also sensitive to
gluten, was also red/green deficient, although he was not aware of it until
age 78.  My gluten/sensitive son is also color deficient.

This past weekend we  entertained a diabetes expert as a house guest, and
while doing an antique, wooden, jigsaw puzzle together she talked about
looking for color matches.  I said I couldn't trust my color eye, due to
that red/green deficiency.  "Amazing," said she.  "I only have one other
friend who is gluten sensitive.  He is a doctor in Washington, DC, and he
is also red/green deficient."

So my question to all of you is, do any of you know that you are color
deficient in any way, and is this a problem that is carried on the same
gene as celiac disease?  Just musing....
