I have been diagnosed with autoimmune disorders starting with thyroid issues for 15 years. More and more autoimmune issues have compounded over the years until last week I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance disease. I was gluten free for one week when I accidentally ate something with gluten and got more sick than I can ever remember being. It ended up with a trip to the doctor for cat scans, blood tests for celiac (still pending) and a stomach the size of a 7 month pregnant woman.  I have a 4 month old and they made me get a pregnancy test because I looked so pregnant...how embarrassing! Needless to say, this past week has changed my life. I have children that have autistic tendencies and they will be going gluten-free too. Thank you for this site and for this article. I have been immersing myself in learning everything and may even write my own book by the time I am through. There is not enough media attention about gluten intolerance...there should be laws requiring disclosure of gluten in products to protect all of us.  Thank you again for this article!<br/><br/>

I have the DNA gene for both.  My Question is what came first. Most likely the DNA gene.  But what activated the craziness my body is going through?  I guess that is the million dollar answer!  Let's just hope that I found out soon enough and with a gluten-free diet maybe this craziness  will stop.  I am tired of be sick all the time.<br/><br/>
