Some of the many replies I got to my post: " A
new, often missed CD symptom" contained some common
misconceptions we should all try to weed out of our
community. Here are some basic facts we always need to
remebmer:
- Celiac is an inherited, auto-immune disease complete
with genetic marker.
- Once a celiac, allways a celiac, you NEVER 'get
over' it.
- Yes if you stay GF, the villae heal ( rather quickly
in many cases ) and you live a normal, healthy
no-different-than-anybody-else life.
- Though inherited, celiac DOES NOT necessarily pass
to all children. Just like any other genetic
disease some siblings can have it and others not.
- Staying on a GF diet, does not alter your genes. If
you are a celiac you can pass it on to your kids
even if you've been on a strict GF diet your
entire life.
Regards ...
