Dealing with Celiac (glutin intolerance) Disease
October 8th, 2009 | 
Author: Greetings,
I know it has been awhile since I have posted a message. Lots has been going on in my life.
After two years of poor health, I have finally been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Apparently, I have been gluten intolerant all my life, but the symptoms have finally caught up with me these past years.
So, my husband, Malcolm and I have been doing some major changes to our diet. First, we took about six boxes of food out the cupboard and pantry that I can no longer eat. (You would be surprised how many items contain wheat!! I even had to throw away my shampoo!) We made several of our friends and family happy with all the goodies we were giving away!
From there, I am taking numerous supplements to get my system back in shape. Half a dozen pills before breakfast, two or three more with each meal, 2 pills in between meals, and a small handful of ‘stuff’ before bedtime. I feel like I am a walking pharmacy!
Up side to all of this is that I AM starting to feel better. Not so tired, stomach and intestines working better … now if I can make my brain work better, I’d be as good as new!
I am told it will take between six months and two years to really get the problem under control.
Back atcha when I have more information.
