A Celiac diet can be made more appealing by accepting that is not what you cant have but what you can have. You can still have many of the things you usually eat just a different brand or variety. They make a knock for just about any food now a days.

What is the cause of celiac diseases?
There is actually no cause of celiac disease. It is in your genes. It is by another family member that has celiac disease. Doesn't mean that your definitely going to have it, it just means that there might be a case that your going to get it.
In what way can family most influence the development of chronic disease?
Family meals
What is the difference between a genetically inherited vs a contagious disease?
A genetically inherited disease is when it is passed on through generations of the same family, while a contagious disease is when you catch off of someone who you've been in contact with.
How do geneticists use pedigrees?
Pedigrees are used to determine a family's history of a disease, which can be due to mutation. It is used to tell whether or not a disease in gene is recessive or dominant, sex-based or autosomal.
Is turberculosis a bacteria or a virus?
A disease, which I guess would also be a virus, except a disease isn't contagious and a virus is. Tuberculosis is passed down to you from a family member. It's genetically passed.
How is celiac disease inherited?
By your family.

Is celiac disease inherited?
Yes. Usually if a someone is diagnosed with celiac, they will have other family members with the disease. Anoother associated allergy to celiac is lactose-intolerance. (allergy to milk).Yes, celiac disease is a hereditary disease. A doctor can determine if you suffer from it.
Is celiac disease noninfectious?
Celiac disease is not infectious. It is, however, genetic, so often when one family member gets diagnosed, others follow, which might give the wrong impression that it's contagious. Three things are necessary to trigger classic celiac disease: the presence of gluten in the diet (wheat, rye, barley, perhaps oats); having the gene for it; a stressful triggering event (pregnancy, illness, and courses of antibiotics are often associated with the onset of active celiac disease).
Is there a classification of staging the prognosis if Celiac disease?
Yes, it's called the Marsh classification. There are 6 different stages all depending how long you have had Celiac Disease without being on a gluten free diet. But the stages can be reversed by the small intestine being repaired by going on a gluten free diet.Type 0: Normal; celiac disease highly unlikely.Type 1: Seen in patients on gluten free diet (suggesting minimal amounts of gluten or gliadin are being ingested); patients with dermatitis herpetiformis; family members of celiac disease patients, not specific, may be seen in infections.Type 2: Very rare, seen occasionally in dermatitis herpetiformis.Type 3: Spectrum of changes seen in symptomatic celiac disease.
Making Sure Your Celiac Disease Diet Actually Works?
Being diagnosed with celiac disease can be frustrating if you are already bogged down with work, family, and life. For getting back on track with your health, you might need more than a doctor and a nutritionist to help you adjust to the celiac disease diet. One of the keys to planning your life around the new restrictions means creating a plan with a life coach that helps coalesce all parts of your health goals.
What are the symptoms of Celiac's disease?
I was diagnosed with celiac disease when I was four years old. Although I have grown up learning to say no to food that I didn't know what the ingredient list was, occasionally I eat wheat, malt or barley by accident or contamination. Some symptoms that I experience are; tingling fingers, diarrhea, cramps, passing gas, and nightmares. Many times I have woken up the morning after I had come in contact and family members have said they hear me crying or screaming in my sleep and that is how I know that I have come in contact. The next day is when you experience most or all of the other symptoms. Hope this helps anyone that may think that they are a celiac. Also if you live in Canada there are many Celiac Association meetings where they discuss celiac disease. You can find more information at the Celiac Association website in the link ---> http://www.celiac.ca/
What are your chances of getting celiac disease when your dad has it but your mother doesnt?
I have done some research on this myself and have learned that if the mother has Celiac the child is more likely to get it then if the dad does. But on average with the mother, the child would have a 20-35% chance of inheriting it. With the father it is far less likely at 5-10% chance. There are many studies that have shown that breast feeding and introducing gluten (baby formulas) to a child at the age of 6-9 months old instead of earlier on can help reduce the risk of developing celiac disease. This is just from research I have done so I hope it helped!
Is the gene for celiac disease dominate or recessive?
The following information was taken with permission from the author (me) from the following article, A Diagnosis of Celiac Disease: What Does This Mean to Me? referenced below. Celiac disease (CD) is neither a dominant nor a recessive genetic disorder. It is a chronic, inherited (genetic) disorder passed to the child by either the mother or the father (Celiac Disease Center, 2012). It does not require both parents to have that gene and it can occur at any time in a person's life (Celiac Disease Center). Left untreated it will lead to malnutrition (Mahadov & Green, 2011). It is more common in females than males, with a 2-3:1 ratio (Tack, et.al., 2010), especially in individuals who test postitive for the CD gene (Lewey, 2008). The rationale for a higher female to male ratio is thought to be the higher incidence of stress and trauma to the female body (i.e. pregnancy & childbirth) (Lewey, 2008). In families that have CD, there is a 5% probability of developing the disease in first degree relatives (mother, father, child, sibling) and a 3% chance in second degree relatives (aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparent) (Celiac Disease Center, 2012). It results from an immune response (allergy) to gluten (Mahadov & Green, Tack, et.al., GIG, 2012). Just because a person has the gene for celiac disease, does not mean they have the disorder. In fact, 35% of Americans carry the haplotypes, DQ2 or DQ8 (Celiac Disease Center, 2012), but only 1 to 1.26% of Americans have been diagnosed with CD (NIH, 2012). There are some individuals, mostly male, that test negative for the two haplotypes, DQ2 and DQ8, still have positive clinical presentations of the disease (Lewey, 2008). Usually, these individuals have had celiac disease for a long time (Lewey). NOTE: Eating gluten does NOT trigger the gene, but rather, the gene is triggered by stress, trauma, and infections (GIG, 2012, Tack, et.al.). Examples of trauma are not what most would think, and include pregnancy, surgery, a broken bone, death in the family, etc. Some environmental factors include the amount of gluten given to the child and at what age it is given to them (Sharaf, Verna, & Green, n.d.). Infections also play a role in the development of CD (Sharaf, Verna, & Green).
What is the term where a family is ill with the same infectious disease?
communicable disease
Is the variola disease in the herpes family?
Variola (smallpox) is not in the herpes family. It's in the poxvirus family.
Is huntington's disease painful?
It can be, especially for the family.
