i kinda wanna cry at the moment...

i've been doing research on celiac disease and am VERY convinced i have this!
i have NEVER believed i had IBS, Fibromyalgia, CFS, asthma etc, etc....because the symptoms would come and go and/or would improve when i was vegan, raw vegan and eliminated wheat.
unfortunately the doctors have never tested me for this but instead have prescribed...endless meds, which i'm sure have exacerbated my issues.
i can tell my bones are deteriorating, my small intestine hurts most of the time after i eat, i HURT all the time, am fatigued, get tingling in my feet and arms, have always been borderline anemic, etc, etc, etc...ALL of which can be explained by having celiac.
for those who don't know what it is....the villi in your small intestine lays flat instead of up, because of an "allergy" to ANY wheat form (aka: gluten), therefore they cannot absorb nutrition from your food.
the next step?
eliminate gluten!!!!
i'll keep you updated.
