I am going gluten free after recently being diagnosed with osteoporosis before I turned 25.  The osteoporosis is partially due to a connective tissue disorder, called Ehlers-danlos syndrome.  From further research, it seems that many people with EDS also develop celiac disease, or other autoimmune disorders.  I have other health issues, including GERD, Barrett's esophagus, and dysautonomia (a disruption of the normal processes of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates pulse and blood pressure among other automatic bodily processes), among others.

Non health related attributes about me includes my mad musical skills, my ability to completely lose myself in a book, and then as soon as I lay the book down, a marvelous ability to lose things.  I have seriously considered joining a convent for the past 2 years, although I have felt the calling since I can remember.
