Some of you may have noticed that my blogging and research has slowed down tremendously. This is actually due to the fact that I have been very ill. I have always been chronically ill, but ever since my last baby was born 6 months ago I have steadily declined instead of improved.
This of course led me into a researching frenzy. Thanks to a random suggestion from my mother (clearly heaven sent) I was reminded of the condition known as Celiac Disease. Up to this point I only knew of Celiac Disease as a disease that causes severe digestive problems. But it didn't take too long to find that there were many many more symptoms to Celiac Disease. And for the first time in my life there was a condition that listed all of my strange symptoms all in one place. I was over joyed! Just to have the possibility of finding an answer...
Well, the blood tests for Celiac came back negative. I was disappointed. But I had a nagging feeling that this was still the answer. So I tried the gluten free diet. And it worked!! I will be tested for gluten and wheat intolerance so I can not be 100% gluten free 24/7. But I feel so much better. You can follow my family's journey back to health on my blog: Mama's Gettin' Us Healthy.
I finally have enough energy and brain power to finish my GCNM studies!! So Stay Tuned!!
