My mystery finally solved????

...hopefully! If you know me pretty well, for about the last year I have had a lot of digestive problems. The doctor couldn't really figure is out only that i had an ulcer but that didn't really explain the pain in my lower abdomen. Well I have kinda learned to just live with it. But last week my sister Collette was reading her Shape Magazine and in it there was an article about Celiac Disease which is where your body doesn't digest a protein found in Wheat, Rye, and Barley, called Gluten. Collette thought of me because I have most of the symptoms that her Magazine talked about. So started last Tuesday I decided to start a Gluten Free diet to see how it would make me feel. I honestly started to feel a difference the next day. It kinda sucks because Gluten is found in a lot of foods, and Gluten free foods are kinda expensive. I am going to go to the doctor next week and get the blood test done to see if it really is the case. If I do have Gluten Intolerance it definitely won't be fun to have to live on a Gluten Free diet for the rest of my life, but I will just be happy to know what is the matter and to actually not have my tummy hurt all the time.
