<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just had to had my bit. Do you realize that Celiac Disease is an auto-immune disease? Other diseases in this category are Muscular Dystrophy, Muscular Sclerosis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Lupus, this list goes on. In my life I have known a person with each of these incurable, untreatable, awful diseases. Celiac Disease left untreated can be just as dreadful, but we know how to control it. I'm sure anyone in the world with one of these other auto-immune diseases that waste the body and cause so much pain would be so happy to have a control like the celiac world does. This is not an awful diet - it is a miracle we can control such a potentially terrible disease. Maureen Marx Victoria, B.C.
