I am an eighteen year old girl. I was diagnosed with celiac disease in the summer of 2007. I have been struggling with the diet and with my weight. Before I was diagnosed I lost a total of 15 to 20 pounds. Since then I have almost reached the goal amount of 135 pounds. I am a senior and as my senior project I am showing my peers what this disease is and how it effects people all around them and they don't even know.
