Jnylny replied to Jnylny's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you so much for your reply! I am definitely unnerved by the possibility of celiac disease and at the same time more than a little relieved that I might finally have an answer to my stomach issues that have bothered me for years.
