I stumbled across this site and thought I'd share some info that I've collected along the way. I hope it will be helpful.

Just wanted to add a couple more articles.

I hope everyone has had their child, and themselves, tested for celiac. More data is showing a higher incidence of celiac in people with type 1 diabetes than had previous been suspected.
