<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> As we all know, celiac disease is most common health disorder in modern history of medicine. The other fact is that it is virtually unknown to general public. We feel like second class citizens when we try to eat out of home. I am gluten free for last 10 years, what gave me second chance to my life. In my age 72 I have no health problems, living pain free in excellent physical and mental health. Toxicity of gluten was mystery to me until I read article by Alessio Fasano, M.D. Professor of Pediatrics, Medicine, and Physiology Director, Mucosal Biology Research Center University of Maryland School of Medicine about discovery of hormone zonulin and link between zonulin-mediated increased intestinal permeability. His dedicated work led to this discovery. In my humble opinion if anybody deserves Nobel Prize for his work it must be Dr. Fasano. We can make to happen by sending email or letter to IG NOBEL NOMINATIONS c/o Annals of Improbable Research PO Box 380853 Cambridge MA 02238 USA Email: <[log in to unmask]> For complete information log on: http://www.improbable.com/ig/nominate.html This would achieve two goals; Dr Fasano would get deserved recognition and Celiac Disease would get publicity world wide. Thank you for understanding and cooperation! Kevin *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the Celiac List*
