Interesting Discovery

As most of you know, earlier in the summer, I began a series called "Celiac Spotlight," where I introduced a number of celebrities that suffer from Celiac disease. I recently learned about one more celebrity that has Celiac disease. Author Meg Cabot, has Celiac disease. She has not talked about it in detail, except in her blog. She mentions it in a 2008 blog post. In the post, she reenacts a conversation that she had with a friend of hers. She was telling her friend that she was diagnosed with Celiac disease. She mentioned to her friend how she cannot have gluten or wheat ever again.
 Her friend laughed, because she is a "wheat-a-holic." Cabot even mentioned that she loves her carbs. When she talked to her friend, she said that she was going to begin her wheat free and gluten free diet tomorrow.

Cabot's friend helped her throw out all her wheat and gluten food, and she began her gluten free lifestyle.

I have been a fan of Cabot's books for years. She writes so beautifully, and you can really relate to the characters in her books.
