About Me

I was anemic since I was 15 (the first time I got tested...so probably before that!). Stomach issues that Dr's said was GERD.

    I have been gluten free for a year and a half, and recently started getting really bad hip pain. Only in my right hip and the pain shoots down through my butt and down my leg. (Much like sciatica I guess) It came out of nowhere and sometimes I have to stop walking it hurts so bad. Don't know if it...
