The Purpose
This blog is going to be a place for people with Celiac disease or
gluten sensitivity to come and share information. People can share their story,
recipes, and questions.
Awareness
I hope that this
blog might help spread awareness about this issue and help get more people
diagnosed. I am going to post a paper I wrote for my Public Health class that I
am taking at Kaplan University.
“Celiac disease affects 1% of healthy, average
Americans. That means at least 3 million people in our country are living with
celiac disease—97% of them are undiagnosed (University of Chicago Celiac
Disease Center).”
