Genetic etiology of the disease[edit] Celiac disease is an inherited condition where gluten proteins found in grains trigger an immune system attack on the lining of the small intestine. While celiac disease can be life threatening, many times it is not. It is a life altering disorder with symptoms such as diarrhea, fatigue, nausea and weight loss.
Fastpitch softball, also known as fastpitch or fastball, is a form of softball played commonly by women and men, though coed fast-pitch leagues also exist. The International Softball Federation (ISF) is the international governing body of softball.
Fast pitch is considered the most competitive form of softball. It is the form of softball that was played at the Olympic Games in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. The fast pitch style is also used in college softball and international competition. Pitchers throw the ball with an underhand motion at speeds up to 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) for women and up to 85 miles per hour (137 km/h) for men. The pitching style of fastpitch is different from that of slowpitch softball.
