Celiac Love At The Polls

[SGWhiskers]

I went and voted today. Hurray for all of us who made it a priority. My neighbors arrived at the same time as me, so we caught up with each other while we waited. We all chuckled at my bag full of fruit, and that skinny me would not have a bag full of chips. That led to a discussion of Celiac, and the wife said she sometimes wondered about herself. I was intentionally a bit loud so that others could overhear and learn a little.

When I left the polling place, a woman caught me and asked if I was the person talking about gluten intolerence. She is local and her whole family is gluten-free/DF/chemical free! I have a new friend and expert! Happy happy me. She offered to send me a big packet and e-mail to answer questions. She really seemed to know her stuff and was super friendly.

Hurray for friendly Celiacs and spreading the knowledge of this disease.

The polls were silent by the time I made it in. But I think the majority of everyone did early voting in my area...

But I found out that one of my co-workers mom also has celiac!

When I told my best friend, she said her Sister has Celiac. Isnt it funny how in short order we find others right in our area or social network with it?? I wonder about those statistics you always see posted. I think there are more of us than they say.
