Having recently discovered that I am a celiac I am now on a mission to find out as much as I can about this condition and to help my friends and family understand that this is not a 'lifestyle choice' but a way of life that I have had to embrace by necessity. I also want to learn as much as I can about other issues such as the difficulties of diagnosis and the long term factors relating to health and nutrition that arise from avoiding the staple grains that are in almost everything!
