So My name is Shawn I'm 18 and today I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis And I am currently waiting to get a biopsy for Celiac, I had the blood test done and on there scale of 1-6 I had a 27. My doctor said there's no way I don't have it but I have to get the biopsy just to make sure. The crappy thing is I have to continue eating gluten until then.

But uh yeah Sup erybody!

Hi Teddy, welcome aboard! You have so much to look forward to, your life is going to be so much better. I hope your doc was able to get you in soon for the endoscopy.

Don't worry about the procedure itself, "it's a piece of cake."

The only thing I wish I could have again is the strawberry cream cheese croissant at a local french bakery. My DP used to drive 12 miles roundtrip to get me that when I didn't feel like eating anything else.

(But I don't miss it all that much, we still have good eats!)

Well It's Official I have Celiac Sprue, The worst this about it is that I cannot join the military which I have planned to my whole life.

I thought Celiac only limited from in-theater service with the military.
