I for one was told by a specialist that it began in the late 1700's ...early 1800's when the wheat fields were poisoned by troops and the autoimmune reaction occurred. The time line below suggests something else. Both are interesting theories ....I guess we'll never really know for sure.

I think your point is valid. I have heard of that theory as well. I think more research needs to be done in this field. There are so many myths mixed with facts in the world of gluten, and that leaves us all confused. In fact, both theories may be correct. 
Zach-Great link-thanks for sharing!

We need to spread the word and educate them about the celiac/gluten factor.  I have heard even educated health professionals poo-poo gluten-free diets because they're ignorant of the connection. So use the gluten-free awareness month to share your knowledge with as many as possible.<br/><br/>

I have noticed that drinking colostrum helps since it is loaded with high levels of immune boosting properties.

I agree that it can be serious and should be handled. With that said, I have a big issue with the parts of the article that states "My dearest hope is that we all get to see mandatory celiac testing out of  in this lifetime." And 
"enforcing mandatory celiac screening in school." 

That is a very slippery slope we don't want to go down. The schools have no business in our lives at all except for the education part which they do a poor job at anyways. Any mandatory action by the government is walking on our liberties and rights. The correct opinion would be to explain it to parents and those who feel it's necessary would do it on their own. Mandatory is always a bad idea.<br/><br/>
