This book is dedicated to my sister, Betty Elmquist, who
gave continued encouragement and editing while it was
being written, and to my Lord who gave me the faith that
it could be accomplished.
Special thanks to the many members of the Gluten-Free
Gang who shared their stories and experiences in their
daily walk as a celiac or as parents of a celiac.
And to my family, which has provided love and support to
me from the time of my diagnosis of celiac disease.

CELIAC DISEASE
Preface
The purpose of this book is to give peace of mind to indi-
viduals diagnosed with celiac disease (CD). Knowledge
will set them free. Family members and health care profes-
sionals both can gain insight and information to guide and
encourage newly diagnosed individuals.
Each chapter was written to inform, challenge, and
encourage the individual with CD. It is a personal disease
that affects many different body systems and continues to
have many unanswered questions regarding:
✹ factors that trigger CD;
✹ factors that prevent CD;
✹ the relationship between CD and autoimmune
disorders;
✹ the health economic consequences of CD.
The medical profession has taken giant steps in its
ability to diagnosis and treat CD. Even as recently as
1997, CD was considered an extremely rare disorder.
Occasionally, a biopsy of the patient’s small intestine,
preceded by numerous long-term symptoms, made a
diagnosis possible. Physicians have made an impact on
the amount of accumulated research over the past three to
five years.
Individuals living with CD are always interested in
research because the more information our physicians
have, the more comprehensive the treatment can be.
