My daughter has celiac and it was not discovered until she was 19. Spent most of her life congested...we used to say "earth to beanie"...she was so spacey. She eliminated Barley, rye, oats and wheat and made a tremendous recovery. She found that taking digestive enzyme really help quite a bit. She said she never knew what it was like to feel healthy.

Evidently, celiac is a European disease and in Italy they actually test for it at birth. She was lucky, they found it with a blood test, but now they like to take a biopsy of the small intestine. It is actually an illness where the body becomes very malnourished because the villa flattens in the the small intestine and therefore do not absorb the nutrients from the food. I am very grateful for all the attention that celiac has gotten over the years, because people that continue to eat gluten will continue down the road of ever-increasing ill health. There are lots of great gluten free products and cook books, so it is doable to eliminate this from your diet.

Glad you found the solution to better health...celiac is a bummer, but there are solutions...
