    i am def staying on the diet either way.Just kind of gave me false hope:(I am greatful the diet is working in my favor tho.I am just soo scared i will die young with this or due to this.My moms sides alot of them died young(late 40's,50's,60's) from cancer, diabetes but then again they were obvously not diagnosed and ate alllotttt of pasta lol
  11. Mama Melissa

  22. Mama Melissa
    yes i am aware but my celiac doctor suggested i get the gene test as it is good to know what types of genes you have. If im not mistaken i think they may be able to tell what diseases you might more at risk for?
  23. Mama Melissa
