Last night was BBQ roasted pork that had been marinated in garlic and oregano and was served up with fresh vegetables with a little butter.

Celiac disease is interesting in that Caucasians of Northern European ancestry compose the highest risk group and account for the majority of the cases, the sensitivity seems to have built up in a population that has a strong bias for eating wheat and being exposed to wheat gluten, and not because they had no exposure. My wife is Polish American and there is a long history of gluten sensitivity in her family... my brother in law and her father also had celiac disease.

The relative number of (reported) cases among Asians, Hispanics, and Africans is much lower and am sure dietary bias plays a part where wheat has not been consumed in such quantities.
