If you have questions about Celiac disease, then you have come to the right place.  I have studied and experienced the disease for over 15 years.  I know how you are feeling, and I am here to put you at ease.  Read on to learn more about Celiac.

Dear Friend,

Whether you are a current sufferer, newly diagnosed with Celiac, unsure if you have Celiac, or are just looking to live a Gluten-Free life, rest assured that you have found the best Celiac resource on the Internet.  First, let me give you a bit of background information about myself.  Fifteen years ago, at age 19, I had an eerie feeling that something was wrong with my body.  I was constantly losing and gaining weight, experiencing diarrhea everyday, constant headaches, trouble sleeping, and even problems controlling my anger.  I would go to my doctor week after week and they would diagnose it as anxiety issues related to stress.  I believed them, and continued to live life in utter despair day after day.

Finally, one day while I was reading a Health Magazine at the grocery store, I came across Celiac Disease. The disease named as "Celiac" had never even come across my doctors or my thoughts when talking about my symptoms.  As I read this Celiac Disease article, it hit me like a lightning bulb, I had just about every single symptom the article explained.

How was this?

My doctor, friends, and family had never even mentioned this disease to me before in my life.  Could I really have Celiac Disease?

Naturally, the next day I marched into my doctors office with this magazine article.  I was furious that I had been feeling ill for the past six months and at this point I was 95% sure I had the disease.  My doctor told me to calm down and that he would perform testing to see if I indeed had this disease.

The next day, my doctor called me and told me to come into his office.  It was true, I had Celiac disease.  My doctor was apologetic in not diagnosing this disease earlier, he told me Celiac is extremely hard to diagnose because the symptoms are closely related to a normal sickness or flu.

The worse news had yet to come though... because it had been 19 years before I was diagnosed with Celiac,  I now had permanent damage to my small intestine.  The reason was because of how much gluten I had consumed over the years.  A Celiac Disease sufferer is supposed to have a Gluten diet of less then 0.3%

Just when I thought I knew EVERYTHING about Celiac Disease, my 6 year old daughter was diagnosed! There were so many NEW things to learn - that I had taken for granted as a Grown UP. But I learned them, and YOU WILL TOO.. if you are here as a parent of a celiac, I KNOW you will do everything to not harm them, and make sure they flourish and thrive in their new reality.

The disease is closely related in genetics, and can really hurt your family if not dealt with the correct way.

I had been consuming gluten filled foods for years - wheat, barley, rye, and oats.   These foods had been essentially deteriorating my health.   To say the least I was furious not only at my doctor and family, I was furious at the situation.  From that moment on, I decided I was going to do everything in my power to better myself and learn everything possible about this disease.

I was astonished that 1 in 133 people are living with this horrible disease.  A large percentage of those living with Celiac do not even know it!  I made it my mission to put out a report that would help Celiac sufferers, newly diagnosed, and those that are trying to live a gluten free lifestyle.......
