autoimmune disorders, including thyroid 

disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, type 

1 diabetes, liver disease, collagen vascular 

disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjo ̈gren’s

Whereas the connection between celiac disease and diet was first established by Dr.

Now, therefore, be it

United States should become more informed 

and aware of celiac disease;
