- I have Celiac Disease and came across a blog this week written by a fellow writer in one of my yahoo groups that I just have to share with you all. http://glutenfree-travel.blogspot.com/ is well written and packed full of useful information about Celiac Disease and the gluten-free diet. Although I've suffered all my life from it I was only diagnosed in November 2005. I'd never even heard of Celiac Disease until then. There are lots of people out there suffering due to this food intolerance without knowing they are Celiac.
