My sister-in-law suffers from Celiac Disease and had a terrible time dealing with it. She gained an extraordinary amount of weight early on while her body was traumatized and became depressed about her condition. Now that she has learned to adjust her eating regimen and become more physically active, she says she is doing better and has shed a little of the weight.
One of my son's school mates has Celiac and his mom was constantly on the search for proper foods that he could eat. 20 or so years ago, we didn't have the abundance of gluten-free products available, and only a couple of health food stores where one could find spelt flour, millet, and other suitable grains to use for baked goods.
It's a tough situation, but, as your article suggests, it's manageable.
