Hey yall, after being sick for about 5 years and avoiding the Dr. I finally gave in and after lots of testing they have figured out what is triggering my symptoms. Turns out I have celiac disease aka gluten intolerance. It's an auto immune disorder. I have to meet with a nutritionist but ind the meantime I figured I'd start a thread about it here and ask for advice.

Does anyone have celiac disease or just eat gluten free for other reasons? If so, I would appreciate any tips I can get. I feel like gluten is in just about everything. I can't believe this whole time I've basically been poisoning my own body. I'm honestly SO excited I know what's wrong now and I can manage it by changing my diet. I always asked myself what is wrong with me...? Why do I get sick from eating just about anything? Am I going to be sick forever? So being diagnosed was a big relief.

Anywho, there may already be threads about this so I'm going to go read up, but please feel free to add any input about eating gluten-free!
