Gluten Sensitivity Affects Social Life Highlighted by Results of Study by Dr. Duane Share Article “Since being diagnosed with celiac disease in 2005, I have been vaguely aware of the societal pressures that put me at odds with friends and family in virtually every social setting where I disclosed my intention to maintain a gluten-free diet. I wonder, why do I feel this way? Why was this happening so consistently in my life? And, was I alone in this experience? These questions prompted me to conduct this study.” – Dr. Duane "If someone had told me before how difficult it is to adhere to a gluten-free diet, I would have thrown up my hands … I wouldn’t have believed it!" – Dustin (Participant #46)
