The Secret to Avoiding Celiac Disease



Celiac, an autoimmune disease brought about by an intolerance to gluten (commonly found in grains), is on the rise.

Researchers hope to one day identify these mysterious environmental factors and develop a treatment. Hello? How about not eating gluten containing food? Another reason to give paleo (affiliate link) a shot.
