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.
