During the television special "Jacqueline Kennedy: In Her Own Words," Diane Sawyer interviewed Caroline Kennedy and played portions of tapes Jacqueline Kennedy recorded not long after she left the White House.
Over the years, we have heard that JFK suffered from an illness that he had kept well-hidden from the general public. Graves disease, I had always thought, was the identity of that illness.
However, during this special, I'm almost sure that Sawyer said that that the illness was "colitis, or celiac disease." In a quick Internet search, I have discovered some entries that also discuss the connection. Very intriguing . . . more later . . . !
