Ki-Ki29's Blog

I am Ki-Ki, a 29 year-old college graduate. I am a teacher. I was diagnosed with Celiac's Disease, irritable bowel syndrome, auto-immune thyroiditis, and ulceritive colitis three years ago when I was still in college, (I was undiagnosed for nearly 2 years and almost dropped out of college from the pain of the symptoms.) As a teacher, I LOVE learning and reading. My family has tried to be very helpful with the disease and has given me tons of support and interestingly, information. I recently received 2 books from family members. The books are WONDERFUL! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these books to anyone who feels they may be gluten sensitive or gluten intolerant (THERE IS A DIFFERENCE & YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE CELIAC'S DISEASE TO BE GLUTEN SENSITIVE!!!) These 2 books talk about how gluten, in the last few centuries have become a MAJOR problem for not only human digestion, but our pet's digestion too!! Over the years, man has increased the amount of gluten in wheat products which causes many of us to become intollerant to gluten, and even more to become sensitive to gluten. The books also talk about other diseases that people suffer from that are often mis-diagnosed because doctors don't think of celiac's disease!! These diseases include: ARTHRITIS, ADD, ADHD, FIBROMYALGIA, OSTEOPOROSIS, the list goes on!! The books also discuss how behavior in children with Autisim, ADHD and ADD can drasticly improve on a Gluten-Free diet. Trust me, I am no "health-nut" but the information in these books finally made some sense to me about Gluten Intolerance (Celiac's disease) and Gluten sensitivity.
