About Me
I was diagnosed with celiac in 2025. I was not aware of symptoms but got tested because my child was suffering symptoms and was diagnosed in 2024. So, I was surprised when I started "feeling better" 5 days after starting my gluten-free diet.
Like many celiacs, I struggle to maintain a healthy and safe diet - gluten free, nutritionally balanced, high fiber, low salt, etc.
I'm a private, nerdy person so I use a username (the person credited as first to record a description of Celiac). I have a Ph.D. in Biology and experience in biotech R&D, clinical development, and business. Companies I've worked for have been involved with infectious disease, cancer, autoimmunity, vaccines, and DNA/RNA analysis. Before retiring, the first half of my career I worked as a scientist and the second half in business development.

Did the subjects adhere to gluten-free diet after their celiac disease diagnosis? Were there subgroups that adhered and ones that didn't? For this study, did diet impact the odds ratio for the various conditions that were...
