Well I have been around the block a few times. I have been up and I have been down. What I want is to put in one place what I have learned and go from there.

I believe I have celiac. So far my mother has Rheumatoid Arthritis (auto immune disease) and told me today that she has both Celiac genes. I believe my father has it but has never and will never get tested for it. Due to his ethnicity and aliments I believe he does. I have been tested for celiac (blood panel and biopsied) and it has come back negative. All I know is the long list of aliments go away when I stop eating it. (stomach pain, diarrhea, bad constipation, ADD, cant sleep, cant concentrate, excezma over my entire body, nails peeling off, weight gain, severe gas, insane PMS, ovarian cysts).

When I stop eating gluten within 24 hours most of the issues are gone. I have done a lot of research about celiac. It seems the medical field doesnt really know what happens prior to having damaged villi. The tests they have now have a large degree of false negatives. All I know is I feel so much better not eating it. I am going to get the gene test done though. My daughter has been complaining about her stomach hurting as well.

I also know that I feel good with a high fat/mod protein diet. I know that I am super sensitive to carbs!! I have a few and I lose my mind!! Instant reaction of erratic energy and then the carb crash!

My goal is to see where this all leads me. Right now I am focusing on eating fatty meals- no measuring, no counting. I am eating a few low carb veggies- and the emphasis is on few. At some point they will go away.

Gotta go to bed~ more latter
