May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month. Please share this article with your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, doctors, chefs, and writers to help increase awareness of celiac disease. 97% of people with celiac disease don’t know they have it, and the symptoms are commonly misdiagnosed as other conditions. For more information, please read my article,"Celiac Disease: Have you been tested?". Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, and the only treatment is a 100% gluten free diet. Do not begin a gluten free diet until all testing is complete. It is not an allergy.
