Hi lovetolove, Celiac Disease strikes any time. Mine came when I got off mother's milk and got on cow's milk. I was always crying in photos and looked bloated. My aunt got Celiac around her 40's and her sister, my mom, got Celiac in her 70's. I got Celiac once I was off mom's milk and put on cow's milk. I've been dealing with this since a toddler and I'm in my 60's. I guess I will never heal. That's a long time to have a disease you don't know you have and it's SILENT! If it wasn't silent I may of had a chance to correct this mess. Life is hard, what can I tell y'all? We all have our trials and tribulations to deal with and mine has been a difficult struggle. At least I know where I got my Celiac from...my mom's side, but that's no consolation. Prayer helps and Knitty Kitty has been a God-Send. She's a Gem! Dorothy Rockwell
