#1 I sat next to an antique fair vendor at an annual street sale in New Harmony Indiana on Saturday. We visited and 'people watched' for nearly four hours. Believe me when I tell you it's not just the children who appear to be at risk, and yes, I could stand to lose a few pounds as well.

#2 (people) may not be getting the treatment they need because many have not been diagnosed.

The more people diagnosed, the more the numbers are added in, then you say the numbers are double... well of course 1/50000 goes to 1/25000.

Could this be a genetic condition ? If so,it is not a disease, what is transmitted is a disease, what is an inherited trait is a physiological condition.

#3 /\ Could this be a genetic condition ?

Evolution of a species and genetics. A connection you say? Human evolutionary genetics? Who knew ?

#5 This thing is amusing given that my wife and I have to deal with it. She's not Celiac, she's physically allergic to wheat and barley. My allergy doctor asked her to describe the symptoms one time and when she was done he said, "That's Anaphylaxis, not celiac. Let's do some tests." Sure enough, wheat and barley. Especially barley. But, she will soon be starting oral immunotherapy for it:) So in a couple years, she may be able to eat normal again.

#6 I imagine having gluten at a young age prepares you for gluten later and well-meaning parents have created this problem.

#9 It's the peanut allergic person's responsibility to watch out for themselves. Not everyone else's to go without for them. Same with gluten, sugar, shellfish, alcohol, etc.

#10 #6 Nope, there's a genetic predisposition

#11 allergic person's responsibility to watch out for themselves Yes. I keep reading news items about people with life-threatening food allergies dying suddenly from their own indiscretions. One self-victim was found lying dead on the kitchen floor, her body propping the refrigerator door open. She had consumed a mouthful of someone's Chinese leftovers which (unknown to her) include shrimp, which she already knew could kill her. She had an Epi-pen on her, but died before she could use it or even call for help. Some food allergies are not for the heedless.

#12 I'm disgusted by health martyrs. Look out for yourself, don't expect the world to change to suit your needs.

#14 I do feel bad, because gluten free pasta is The Devil.

Gluten Free in Italy must be like lead eunuch for the Sultan's harem.

#16 Not the stuff I had. Even worse, it disintegrated into something mealy.

#17 That is, if you could please, a recommendation I could pass on to this person, whom I'm sure to eat with again.

#18 Could all this have developed from the increased use of GMO varieties by frantically experimenting biotech firms... à la Thorn Industries?

#19 because gluten free pasta is The Devil.

swksvolFF, the American Test Kitchen team has two gluten free cookbooks. The first one has a recipe for homemade pasta. I’ve not made it, but in my experience all of their recipes work. Check your library — mine has both volumes as well as a nice selection of their other cookbooks, if you don’t want to buy on spec. link.
