The storytellers in this piece all learned as adults and after years of suffering that their ailment was celiac disease. I was fascinated by this piece as I had been a celiac baby in 1948, survived which wasn't really the expected outcome, and lived without severe limitations as though I did NOT have to worry about celiac anymore. The recent attention given to celiac disease and the health experiences of my two sons led me to take the blood test this piece refers to and I tested very positive for celiac. I found this piece profoundly personal and extremely important given the millions of Americans who have celiac but have no idea that they do.
