I make no apologies about my love for Jon Stewart. There's so much I'd love to just sit and talk with him about, because I think it would be great good fun. But what I didn't know was that our kids have somethig in common: Celiac Disease. 

My daughter's experience was similar to his son's -- lots of vomit, anemia, general malaise, and wasting away. When she was 3, we watched her fade before our eyes. Where the experience differs, however, is in how quickly the Tween was diagnosed. Our peditrician at the time caught it in a flash. It sounds like Stewart's ordeal went on much longer. 

The interview is here. It's technically more about Jennifer Esposito's book but, as with most good interviews, it wanders a little. 

Oh - and that Tween? She's 12 today. Yeah, my mind is blown, too.
