In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. ABCs 20/20 - August 6, 1999 (Friday night). One of the presentations was "A Good Doctor," which covered celiac disease.
July 28, 1999 - There was a stor about celiac disease on the NYC WNBC TV evening news.
U.S. News & World Report - July 26, 1999 issue had an article titled, "The curse of Frankenfood," which discussed food allergies and celiac disease.
