This report is great and very informative in a very short period of time. It also give a new face to CD, CNN’S Heidi Collins!
I find it so crazy that we don’t screen more frequently nor do we put research money into CD. It seems that the ‘market’ is more interested in the money it can get out of those undiagnosed/not adhering to the diet (via medical costs) and those who adhere to the diet (via the high costs of gluten free alternative foods) than the health and happiness of those involved. Despite the number of people who have celiac symptoms and the number of comorbid diseases that can lead to mortality in the CD population at the higher rate not much is being done!
Enjoy and think critically!

Thank you for this – I totally agree with your editorial. People are needlessly suffering because they just don’t realize that they have an issue with wheat or gluten.
An amazing simple tool I found for educating friends and family on gluten-free eating was written by Heather Demeritte – A Gluten-Free Guide: a letter To My Host. She writes for the Examiner.com and has a website at http://www.glutenfreeandfrugal.com.
I give a copy to friends that may be hosting a meal for me and they so appreciate it! I am going to tweet about your article to my friends right now.. Thanks!
Thank you for the comment. I looked up the book you suggested and it looks great! It’s a very good and simple idea that can really save some difficulty with social interactions. I know I’ve had some issues with parties recently so I think it’s a great idea and will spread the word!
