I am lost there! I am on GF diet, however, I do not consider myself sick. Why they call it disease? Anyway, testing keep doctors busy; despite the fact that is no way to rule out gluten sensitivity.
Any argument? I don't think so!<br/><br/>

I was diagnosed at age 47, but in retrospect I realized the condition had plagued me my entire life... including a 4 year hitch in the U.S. NAVY.  I read somewhere shortly after my way-late diagnosis that in Italy, children are tested for celiac sprue when they start school.  Sure you say... the condition is much more prevalent in Europe.  Hey! We nearly all have a heredity line from Europe.  Most U.S. celiacs go undiagnosed for decades, while the auto-immune reactions are slowly destroying their health.  Yes, it gets my goat!<br/><br/>
