    In 2006, I began working on a Masters/Education. For 2 years I read every single medical article I could get my hands on about celiac disease, its affect on children and learning, and how schools work with celiac kids and their families. My classmates were sick of hearing about it! Until I put it all together for my final Action Research Project presentation...
