People often post to the list asking if celiac is related to other 
conditions, diseases, etc.  For those who don't know how, I wanted to share 
a quick & easy way to find answers to those kinds of questions.  You can 
uncover references of celiac being linked to just about anything if you know 
how to google search using the + sign.  Typing the plus sign between two 
words will bring up every article on the world wide web that contains those 
two words.  Then you just read through the reference abstracts & click what 
sounds pertinent to your needs.

Just for fun, I decided to do a google search on two things I thought would 
be unrelated.  Boy was I wrong!  You'll never believe what popped up!  It's 
so funny, but so interesting.  Here's how I did it:

First I went to:   http://www.google.com

Next, I typed in "celiac + cats"  and clicked "Google Search."

Pages & pages of references came up.  I found articles here & there about 
celiac arteries, celiac ganglions (celiac is a descriptive medical term 
meaning belly), etc. in cats which is unrelated to celiac disease of humans. 
  I also found articles about GF cat foods & various articles about celiacs 
chatting about their cats, but the one that was the most interesting of all 
was by a homeschool blogger about her arthritic cat.  The search result 
quoted:

"Could we have a celiac cat? LOL. The change is so dramatic that it cannot 
be just our imagination. Maybe it is just coincidence and there is some 
other ..."

If you want to hear the rest of the story . . . you'll just have to do a 
Google search to find it!
