You thought Swine Flu was bad try Celiac Disease. Once thought to be a food allergy, Celiac Disease is “an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages from middle infancy on up” according to wikipedia. This basically means that people who suffer from Celiac disease cannot eat an wheat based products. That means bread, cereal, pasta, beer, candy etc…
OK, maybe not as bad as the Swine Flu, but definitely more annoying than most. According to doctors, Celiac Disease has often gone undetected and seems to currently be on the rise everywhere. So much so that, some restaurants are offering gluten free entrees to there customers.

this isn't a virus though, right? i mean, you either have or you don't, but there's no way of passing it onto someone else (other than genetically), yeah?
