3 weeks ago my Dr. (GP) said that she was about 90% sure I was Gluten Intollerent and suggested I go on the gluten-free diet. So gluten-free I went!

I had only really learned about Celiac about 4 years ago before my Step-Daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's. I was doing research trying to help her when I discovered Celiac. All the sudden all the puzzle pieces started fitting together for me. It was so obvious. I immediately went to my Dr. and said I think this might be my problem. Was sent to a... -

Hello all! I am a total newbie to this whole celiac thing. I was diagnosed on Aug. 22nd. Just a little over a week of finally knowing what has been my problem for over 40 years.
