The title of this article didn't mention celiac disease by name, but maybe that intrigued people. A Debilitating Disease That Is Often Unknown focused on two extreme athletes that despite intense training had less than stellar performances. Celiac disease turned out to be the culprit behind their physical limitations and the gluten-free diet helped them to not only heal, but reach their goals.
(If Mimi Winsberg's name sounds familiar to you, it may be because she has been mentioned on CeliacChicks before.)
In my opinion, this article was excellent because it may have caught the attention of people that may not have read about celiac disease if it were in the title of the article, and the nearly bionic people featured may have helped to dispute any preconceived notions others may have that we are a just a bunch of hypochondriac's or alternative diet junkies. If anything, I'm wondering if people who are athletic in any way, may start a gluten-free diet to see if it helps with their performance. Hopefully, a few will be diagnosed along the way.
