<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am a woman. It is not all that I am, but it is a significant part of my makeup as a person. I am a celiac. Neither are the consequences of the condition all that I am but it, also, has a significant effect on me as a person. I find being called a celiac about as insulting as I find being called a woman, which is to say, not at all. I'm baffled by those who are uncomfortable being "labeled" a celiac.
