Fields

] am 60 years old with a 3 year old grandson and 1 year old granddaughter.. I am a graduate of North Carolina State University with a degree in Education/Psychology. I have 1 son and 1 daughter. My husband and daughter also graduated from NCSU with degrees in Engineering. I experienced gluten intolerance for over a year with many tests - MRI, CT, ENT, heart monitor, Colonoscopy, blood tests enough for a vampire. All results came back showing no problem yet problems continued - near fainting follwed by vomiting, diarhea and extreme exhaustion plus weight loss of 25 pounds in 3 months. I also developed migraines which had never been a problem before.Thanks to the internet I found what turned out to be my answer. Gluten intolerance. I started gluten free in Feb 2009. A trip to the MAYO clinic and genetics testing confirmed by suspicion. Celiac Disease. I continued for almost two years with exhaustion but am now much better. I am grateful for forums such as this one since there are TOO MANY doctors uninformed regarding Celiac and gluten intolerance.
