Sorry-I forgot to mention that my Grandmother also died from cancer of the stomach lining! This is why it has been soooo important that I do this thing for me and my Son the right way! Even though my blood work was negative the gluten-free diet is working well for me so I will stick with it!
I had my appendix out at age 13 and my tonsils were just removed in April at age 33. I diagnosed myself 2 months ago with celiac disease and went gluten free-I feel much better!
We think my Grandma was celiac-she also had her tonsils and appendix removed.
My Brother may have a gluten issue also-he had a ruptured appendix at age 9-still has tonsils...
