  • I have had Celiac since the age of 6 (I'm now 40), and if you avoid the gluten-free versions of most cakes/cookies/breads it does force you to eat better. I can't eat most french fries since they are fried in the same oil as breaded fried foods. But I would prefer not to have another autoimmune disease! (I"m also type 1…
