Symptoms for 8+ years (some go back 14 years):

• Constant abdominal pain and bloating
• Constipation/Diarrhea swings
• Constant Fatigue
• Night Sweats
• Anemia
• Depression
• Inability to concentrate
• Joint pain
• Near-constant hunger
• Inability to lose weight

Diagnosed myself after inadvertently doing a gluten challenge on myself (eating homemade gluten steaks)--OhhhhhWEeeeee was that bad.  Had suspected for years that I might have a problem with gluten, but never really considered Celiac as I didn't fit the typical profile (myth) of the skinny, underweight Celiac.

Went gluten-free on my own and within 48 hours all of my symptoms were improved or gone altogether.  It feels like a MIRACLE.  So thankful to be on the road to wellness.  And so frustrated that after many trips to the doctor, I ended up figuring it out myself.  Hey--that Bachelor's degree in Nursing came in handy after all!
