Remembering back

Let's take a moment out of our busy night tonight just to reflect on the fact that so many people lost their lives because of this disease. 

Back then, doctors had no idea what was causing these random deaths, they couldn't understand why so many children & adults were suffering from malnutrition while still on a balanced diet. They couldn't figure out why so many children failed to grow right & presented many symptoms. Connecting the dots was just near impossible. 

Finally after World War 2, doctors were able to finally see the connection between symptoms & what their patients ate. Children were getting better with the lack of gluten in their diet. 

We could have prevented the deaths of so many people if we would have come to this conclusion earlier.  

Luckily for you and I, doctors as well as medicine have come a long way. Technology & blood tests can now make it easier for doctors to detect this disease quickly. 

We now live in an age where you can typically find a gluten free product on the shelf of most grocery stores.  Decades before, that was not a common occurrence at all. 

So once again, I want to dedicate this post to those who lost their lives to this horrible disease.
