It is Celiac awareness month!
I have been recently diagnosed and have been gluten-free for a couple of weeks.
I am AMAZED and thrilled at how different my heath has been as a result!
Celiac and Gluten intolerance are thought to be very common, and goes UNdiagnosed in over 90% of cases.
I urge you all to educate yourself about these conditions and their symptoms:
- Excess Gas and Bloating
- Frequent stomach pain/cramping
- Constipation and/or Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Frequent headaches
- Excema or other rashes
- "Brain Fog" (caused by vitamin deficiency)
- Anemia
- Extreme Hunger
- The list goes on~
Going on a gluten free diet has changed my life....I just wish I had understood Celiac and gluten intolerance earlier on - I was misdiagnosed as having IBS (very common misdiagnosis~) for about 10 years until going to a family wedding and realizing that 80% of my relatives have the disease and I should go get tested since it runs in families.

Let the healing begin :)
