About Me
My name is Jennifer and I've been gluten-free for 14 years now. Shortly after the birth of my second child, I had stomach issues nonstop, headaches, hives, anxiety, and a lot of brain fog for the better part of a year. I went to see an allergist, a naturalist, and an herbalist. I tried many elimination diets, used tons of herbs, and still couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tried eliminating dairy and yeast and finally tried eliminating gluten. Hallelujah!! After a few months, I felt so much better. I did at the time see a GI doctor and had the blood work testing for celiac, but he couldn't tell me with 100% certainty if I did have celiac because I had started eating gluten-free a month or two earlier and there was nooooo way I was going back to feeling horrible, so I consider myself as having non-celiac gluten sensitivity and haven't eaten gluten ever since.

Hi Ginger38, I know exactly what you mean! I went through the celiac testing like 14 years ago and at that time they really didn't talk much about any of the symptoms of celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It turned out for me since it took like 3 months to get into a GI doctor to get testing and I had figured out in the meantime that I felt better...
