"the Trigger"

I think it started the day I was conceived. I always had problems with severe brain fog and fatigue. It got progressively worse in my 20's and by my mid 30's I almost lost everything. I really don't think I would be alive right now if I kept eating gluten.

I'd say I was the event that caused my husbands celiac to arise. Well, I shouldn't say that but we met & married really quickly so in a period of a few months we moved in, bought a house, moved to the new house & all of the sudden he was a father to a 6 year old. He loves it & it has been fun. However, the day we closed on our new house.......he got sick. He had a ton going on as did I in a really short time frame. He has it under control though & we are all happy & healthy now.
