This documentary takes a very close look at the lives of several people suffering from Celiac disease- the life altering reaction some people have to gluten. As someone who suffers from sensitivity to gluten, I know the power of discovering what it is that is making you sick, and how you can easily make it better. The narrators tell in their own words how they grew up not knowing what was wrong with them. Missed educational and sports opportunites, embarassing gastrointestinal experiences, lives lived within a short run to the bathroom; this is the life of an undiagnosed celiac. The documentary emphasizes how common Celiac disease is and because of this, this report could serve the very noble purpose of alerting people to the prevalence of this disease, and might help someone live a happier, healthier life.
