Thanks so much for your replies. Wow...how scary to think that a person could have such a serious illness and have it not show any symptoms at all. 2008-2010 was ridiculously stressful, with some illnesses thrown in there and exposure to who-knows-what while on deployment thrown in for good measure, so I suppose were there to be a trigger that would... -
Not only am I new to the world where celiac is a possibility, I'm also new to civilian healthcare, having just left the military after over a decade (they have their own healthcare system).

Hello, I'm really happy to have found this forum! A few days ago, my Mom posted a link to an article on the Huffington Post, written by Mark Hyman. It was about why modern wheat is not the panacea it was made out to be, but what caught my attention was a line in which he mentioned the type of gluten in modern wheat is more likely to cause Celiac, as...
