A week ago I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease after a lot of tests.
It has been at least five years of trying to figure out why I have anemia, fatigue, depression, no energy my joints ache, get a rash on my feet, brain fog, stomach problems. Because I have an eating disorder (I am obese 270lbs) Celiac was last on the list. I didn't get the rapid weight loss symptom (murphy's law the fat girl trying to loose weight gets Celiac with no weight loss - oh well)
It was probably triggered by my last pregnancy when I had my second son in 2010 in my early forties.
I have been up and down in weight my entire adult life. Starting around the age of 9 (nine) I started binge eating to cope with bullies at school in the 1970's. I have been on every diet known to man since the age of 12 (twelve). My addiction is sugar. I don't really drink very often. I am a non smoker. I dream morning noon and night about sugar.
Now I have Celiac. A new journey begins.
I wonder where it will take me
