Welcome to this page. A real person writes this blog about celiac disease. It is about the good, the bad, and the ugly in living with celiac disease. I talk about life experiences, clinical drug trials, and living more gracefully. Sometimes, I get a bee in my bonnet to rant and rave about something in the celiac world – both good and bad. I hope you enjoy these posts and feel free to reach out!
