Did you know that celiac genes are likely a GENETIC ADAPTATION that actually HELPED our ancestors survive typhoid, cholera, dysentery & more?? 🤯 Or who else has been told you’re “lucky” to have celiac & have the discipline to “stick to a diet”? 🤦♀️🙋♀️
Scientists have found that the HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes related to celiac also indicate a higher level of immunity protection and likely offered an advantage against gastrointestinal infections common in the time. But that same overactive immune system ALSO leads to higher rates of celiac disease in modern day. 🤷♀️
On the plus side, we *can* treat celiac with a gluten free diet nowadays…though I would NOT consider myself “lucky” to have to avoid the free rolls at dinner. 🤦♀️ (And yes, I have had family friends tell me I’m “lucky” celiac keeps me “disciplined” and “thin” LOL).
