Informational Post

I awoke this morning to a loud noise that happened to be Banjo playing with his toys. Lazy Birdie was still asleep between my feet at the foot of the bed. I also awoke with an unwanted guest in my ear, nose, throat, and chest in the form of a sinus infection. Great. I got an antibiotic and maybe we'll get it wiped out. Until then everyone will have to hear me talk with b's at the end of every word and hear me cough up my lungs.

So I'm currently reading a few different books, one of which is Elizabeth Hassleback's "The G-Free Diet" Which is a great book for those of you who have Celiac Disease or are interested in finding out about it. Celiac Disease is becoming diagnosed more and more but we still have a long way to go before it's commonly known and correctly diagnosed. In this book Elizabeth mentions something that really made me think about the way our country operates. She thinks that the reason Celiac Disease is uncommonly known about and misdiagnosed is because there isn't a drug that cures Celiac Disease and the Drug Companies essentially own the Health care system and without a Medicinal Cure for Celiace Disease why promote awareness?

I halfway agree with her on this. I don't know much about the Drug industry but I do know that since there isn't a Drug out there to cure Celiac Disease then there isn't a lot of money being poured into an awareness campaign by Drug Companies. It makes you wonder, If there was a medicinal cure for Celiac Disease would less people go undiagnosed? Would less people suffer? Would Gluten free food be more accessible and cheaper for me? Tell me what you think...
