[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 2253307, member: 24577"] I have been meaning to create this thread for a while. I was diagnosed with celiac disease about 8 months ago. Fir those if you who dont know what it is let me explain it. Gluten is a protein that is found in almost anything containing wheat. So all breads, beer, dough, crusts, and many other foods. It is even found in some medicines and cosmetics. When someone with my disease consumes it our bodies cannot digest it and our body creates antibodies that attack our intestinal track. It actually eats the intestines up. It also causes joint pain. It also can create terrible headaches that can last for over 1 week. It can also kill if not treated correctly. And the only treatment is a lifetime gluten free diet. The disease can also cause malnutrition and anemia. Most people dont understand the difference between celiac disease and gluten allergy. They are very different. I have had a hard time adjusting to this. Even after 8 months it is still a challenge. I am starting to find more gluten free foods in stores but it is still hard. The biggest challenge is eating out. There is a big risk of cross contamination. I have celiac extremely bad. I get bad headaches almost everyday. Even eating gluten free. Do any of you guys have this crap? And how has adjusting been for you? [/QUOTE]
