<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi all- I noticed the ongoing discussion on how rare Cd actually is in the states. >From a personal observation, I have come across the following Celiacs outside of my support Groups 1. My Mom's first cousin 2. A friend of the family 3. A blind date's, best friend's girlfriend 4. An old boyfriend's father 5. A friend from my Pottery class's cousin 6. A Co-worker's friend 7. A Co-worker's neighbor 8. My Internist's receptionist's best friend's child 9. A potential employer's wife 10. A Co-worker's cousin And I have only been diagnosed about two years now. An interesting observation especially since not one of these diagnosed celiacs knows any of the others. Just a wild coincidence or alot more common than we all believe? I'm curious if other's out there have found this too Best Regards, Leslie NYC- [log in to unmask]
