Lately, I have been hearing a great number of stories from people relating to me about someone they know that was just diagnosed with Celiac or Gluten Intolerance.  The stories are not good.  Most stories tell about individuals who have suffered years with the symptoms while going from doctor to doctor before being diagnosed.  Babies and children are ending up in the hospital very ill before diagnosis is finally made.  Why is looking for a diagnosis related to the digestive system out of the physicians’ realm?  Why is Celiac only suspected after a phethora of negative tests come back?  Even then some physicians and gastroenterologists do not look for it.  I realize no one wants this disease, but with the Western Diet compounded with Fast Foods’ fat and sugar, it should be evident that Gluten Intolerance can be the problem.  The amount of wheat that a person eats is immense.  Gluten/Wheat is on the spicy fries we eat; it’s used as a substance that keeps ingredients together.  It’s used as a coating for processed meats; it of course is used to make bread rise.  I found it the other day in mustard.  Is it any wonder, that according to research, Celiac disease has increased fourfold.
