Hi,

This group is a wonderful, wonderful place to start!!

Maybe if you could look at it in a more positive manner, it would help. Here

is something that you think you might have and there IS a FIX for it (unlike so

many other health problems). That FIX is diet adjustments. Diet changes can

be so very overwhelming, but when you feel lousy for a long time and suddenly

have a way to correct that, its totally worth it! Start with asking your

family who has celiac for help. Make friends with your local health food store

for suggestions. See if they have a support group. Concentrate on eating

fruits and veggies and legumes (which is healthy even if you don't have celiac).

Avoid processed foods as much as you can. Do internet research. Plus, there

are a lot of great books out there. I have started reading The Gluten-free

Bible and the author addresses that you have a right to mourn the changes but

encourges you to be your own best advocate.

Best wishes,

(with 2 dc's... " dear celiacs " ... in my

home) ;-)

Am going to the dr today for blood tests, I

think ...I am celiac, showing several symptoms, have three " known " members in

my immediate family with this...... and am very nervous
