The Mayo Clinic recently released the findings from a new study on Celiac Disease, illustrating a quadruple increase in Celiac Disease since the 1950s.  You can read more about the study at the Mayo Clinic website.

Dr. Joseph Murray released a little video explaining the results.

As an aside, I love listening to this man speak, and I dig his crooked bowtie.

Also in the news is an article about how Autism may be linked to a mother’s autoimmune disorder (check out the numbers regarding celiac disease).  Please read the whole article.  These findings are a great step to help doctors know which questions to ask to find a cause (or causes) for Autism.
