My niece is a celiac (and the only family celiac) and I thought there might be a possibility that I could be one.

It turns out that I have pernicious anemia instead of celiac disease. I'm happy to know this because I wouldn't want to give up bread. It's quite rare.

I remember my big sister being concerned about my niece's health. It took a dozen of visits to doctors before my niece was dx'd.
