Reaction to gluten: In 1888, gee presented clinical accounts of children and adults with celiac disease at the great ormond street hospital for children in the united kingdom. Gee stated, “to regulate the food is the main part of treatment. The allowance of farinaceous foods must be small, but if the patient can be cured at all, it must be by means of diet.” http://www.Csaceliacs.Info/history_of_celiac_disease.Jsp.
