Recently my 4 yr old granddaughter was diagnosed with celiac disease. I ve been reading about celiac disease and the more I read...I began to wonder if a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (in 1960) could actually have been celiac disease. My husband had a sister who died at 4 yrs old from CF. I know Celiac is hereditary and the symptoms could be for many things. Celiac was not really known in the 60 s, was it?
