Declaring It Offical.......

[roxieb73]

Ok so I have been hesitant to say (even though all testing is done) that I am gluten intolerant possibly even have Celiac. Well after emailing back and forth with Dr Vikki Petersen (author of the Gluten Effect) I can offically say I have a very serious autoimmune gluten intolerance. I am double DQ1 with Lichen Planus, Iron deficeincy anemia, Severe Vit D deficeincy, Osteomalacia, RLS, GERD, PCOS, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, elevated liver enzymes, severe pitting edema, mild tricuspid regurge.

I have been Gluten Free for 2 weeks now and on vitamins. I can already see a major difference in my energy levels and my muscle weakness is starting to get better. Instead of tolerating only 3 mins on my feet I made it through a 15 min trip to CVS today! I haven't gone shopping in over a month because I can barely walk from the house to the car. Granted I still have a LONG WAY TO GO but this is a fantastic start! SOOOOO SOOOO Happy!

I'm glad you've gotten more comfortable with your diagnosis. It's great to hear you're feeling better!

Yay Roxie! So wonderful to hear you are now comfortable with your intolerance. And I'm very happy to hear you made it out to CVS today. It's a great start. Go Roxie!

Thank you everyone! I have to say I have been tempted a few times to go off track. Especially when they bring yummy goodies in to work. Then I thought about how much better I am feeling and wanting to be able to walk and play with my son and all thoughts of taking a bite go bye bye. I still have a lot of work to do before my cruise next month wish me luck!
