Joseph Murray, M.D., a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and specialist in celiac disease, offers an overview of celiac disease and its symptoms as well as its diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Murray led a recent Mayo Clinic study of celiac disease, the results of which become public on July 1, 2009. This video provides background and provides context for those study findings.
Its no big deal, alot more common that once thought. Many restaurants cater to Celiacs and for instance, BJs Restaurant has a Gluten Free Beer@!!!

Very informative. I was interested in the failure to thrive comment. I am only 5 ft 3 and most of my family are over 6 ft. I was admitted to hospital around the age of 9yrs & told I had anorexia. I had no body image issues but if I ate I was sick, all I could stomach was cows milk and never knew why. After a lot of bowel cancer diagnosis in my family, we all got tested, the shorties all tested positive, my case is by far the worst. I think I should have been taller, had I been diagnosed sooner.

We can't eat out or have a beer at the pub. Coeliacs is socially restrictive; if we do eat out, no matter how hard we try to avoid it, we do get gluten poisoning, vomit heaps and have diarrhea, which is not socially acceptable. Would you go out if you knew that you couldn't eat or drink anything when everyone else is? Try going off all Gluten containing foods for a week and still maintain your lifestyle. I bet you can't!
