Celebrities With Celiac Disease?

[FootballFanatic]

I'm sorry because I don't know exactly where to post this soooo, feel free to move it around.

Okay, anyone know of any celebrities with Celiac Disease?

The only thing I've heard is that Bill Clinton has it but wouldn't announce it publically because wheat is so cheap to produce that he didn't want to hurt the economy by people getting tested and then eliminating some of the wheat eaters.....

This sounds very rumorish to me....

Bill Clinton said that he has a "wheat allergy" and eats gluten-free on the Rachel Ray show last year. I saw the episode, so that much isn't a rumor.

Elizabeth Haselback from The View is a Celiac--she has spoken about it and even had Dr. Peter Green (her doctor) on the show.

Susie Essman from Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well as Heidi Collins, a CNN Anchor and her son are also Celiac.

I've also "heard" that Victoria Beckett (Posh Spice) has it as well, although I've found conflicting information on the web about it.

Keith Olbermann, of MSNBC, or whichever network he hosts a news show on, has celiac.

Bill Clinton's daughter has it also she had I think gluten free cupcakes at her wedding.

There is a UFC fighter who recently found out he has Celiac.

It was very inspirational to my son.

There was an article posted here about this guy earlier this week.

Don't know if that counts as a celebrity, but it did the trick for my son!

Deb Wheaton, the mother of Wil Wheaton, the actor (Star Trek, NG) and his sister, Amy, have it.
