By Laura?(The Gluten-Free Traveller) Is autoimmune disease becoming more common or is it simply that more and more people are being diagnosed with autoimmune diseases, which in the past would have gone undetected?

Celiac disease and Type 1 diabetes are both autoimmune disorders, so I suppose it's not terribly shocking that there would be a large overlap between the two populations.

Why do I insist on continually going grocery shopping when I'm hungry? But the thing I'm most excited and perplexed about is the pretty glass vial of rose water I picked up.

By Laura(The Gluten-Free Traveller) If you are Catholic or have ever attended a Catholic mass, you have probably had experience of communion.
