Hello there. I have been reading here for a couple of days, and have finally gathered the courage to post. I know there are a lot of posts just like mine, so thank you to anyone who reads my rambling. Obviously I am here because of Celiacs, but I have not been diagnosed. Just like many stories I've read, I suspect based on all my symptoms. I don't know...
