I was born in 1941 and was a sickly child, and suffered from many classic symptoms of Celiac. But, I wasn't diagnosed until 2004. No tests for it were ever done for me, before that year. The same goes for my mother, and several other family members, who also had so many symptoms of Celiac, going back at least 3 generations. No Celiac tests on any of them. Perhaps, some doctors are starting to pay attention to foods being a cause of people's heath problems, instead of just pushing drugs on them, that only treat the symptoms, not the cause.<br/><br/>

I really feel there’s a connection between Celiac & fluoride sensitivity/toxicity.  That would explain the “environmental change to the grains happened in the 1950's”.  I wonder how many of the people that were studied were on well water vs public water?  Celiac Symptoms are very similar to that of fluoride exposure.<br/><br/>

The first is a strong correlation between birth by Caesarian and celiac. The second was that researchers just figured out that one of the components of human breast milk that has long baffled them (it isn't digestible by human babies) is intended to feed a strain of probiotics that line babies' guts to protect them from bad bacteria and viruses. Since babies born by Caesarian are a lot less likely to have been breast fed (they are typically given formula right off the bat because the mother's milk is delayed by the traumatic birth procedure), I have a strong suspicion we should be looking at the correlation between celiac and breastfeeding. I think we may very well find a connection there to autism and behavior problems. Since the rate of birth by Caesarian just keeps going up and up (creating ever greater profits for health care professionals and institutions) , it seems to me it's worth a look. I wonder if anyone else has information about these connections.<br/><br/>

I know that some analytes deteriorate after being frozen, even in -70 degrees Celcius, for long periods of time.<br/><br/>
