ARCHIVED Very New To This
sfortney replied to pmdny's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

Rather than keep being sick and hoping something will eventually shw up I decided to go gluten free for a while and see if it would help. It's now three weeks later and I am definitely... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Get This When Going Out To Eat?
