great story and great advice, the parent as the ultimate advocate

Thank you so much for sharing this story. I had my younger sister tested for gluten 2 years ago after a whole life of stomach aches, mood swings and unbelievable fatigue. She is 24 and is now getting up at 5:00 am!!! for work, holds a great job and is in great physical shape. She swears to never eat gluten again because she feels so great. I then got tested and have been g-free for a year. My father and step-mother are now off and we have a great time cooking as a gluten free family. We all feel so much better! For us the moodiness is gone, joint aches and pains and bad intestinal problems are non-existent. My step-mom had auto immune disorders that have disappeared.

I heard you on the radio and was immediately drawn to your story because I have the exact same symptoms you had. I wanted to thank you for sharing your story and let you know that I have a doctor's appointment next week and intend to ask him for the blood test you talked about and will not take no for an answer. I am also going ot ask that I am referred to an allergist and GI specialist becuase enough is enough. I will let you know how everything turns out.

Patty- glad to hear your sister is doing so well! It is definitely a change of life, once you figure out the root of the problem.!
