It makes you pretty depressed when you first find out you have something like this, and the irritability comes from the pain.Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589973603624712149.post-87016547219169580662008-08-21T01:25:00.000-04:002008-08-21T01:25:00.000-04:00Hi LIbby, I needed to save it because it is hard f...Hi LIbby, I needed to save it because it is hard for me to explain just what Celiac's is, and what it means having it. Even those of us who have it, don't really completely understand what it does to us. In my case, it has effected my eyes, my head (headaches & memory), my joints,acid reflux, feeling faint and nauseated after eating , the list goes on and on.....and of course my stomach and intestines hurt, if I don't eat anything with wheat it it, I am pretty "normal." But it is hard to keep it out of my diet. I have to be so careful what I eat.Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589973603624712149.post-26524511438144541412008-08-20T23:46:00.000-04:002008-08-20T23:46:00.000-04:00nea, this is a good artucle,, learned some stuff f...nea, this is a good artucle,, learned some stuff from it!!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873518747021842739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589973603624712149.post-91014849345572675832008-08-20T20:17:00.000-04:002008-08-20T20:17:00.000-04:00Hi queenie, I suppose I was born with it, but it ...Hi queenie, I suppose I was born with it, but it lay fairly dormant, although all my life I have had problems that Dr.'s couldn't figure out a reason for. Then about three years ago, I got stung by 7 or 8 bees in a very close amount of time, the last time I ended up in the hospital. After that my body really went haywire......and gradually got so bad, they decided I had Lupus....also an auto immune disease. then in April my dad died and they found he had celiac's disease, and it is hereditary, so my Dr. decided to find out if that is what I had, and that is what I have. So since April I have been OFF wheat, rye, barley and most oatmeal. for the most part as long as I don't eat them I don't suffer, I eat them, even a little bit, and the reaction is swift and painful. The inside of the small intestines actually sloughs off, and not without pain...anyway.....as long as I stay away from anything pastry, bread, cereal, that kind of thing, I am okay. Where I get tricked is in things that you don't expect to have wheat in them. Candy, drinks, spices, condiments. I have to be very careful. I found out last night that wine is a nono.Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589973603624712149.post-32261115266689689742008-08-20T15:30:00.000-04:002008-08-20T15:30:00.000-04:00Goodness Nea I don't know what to say.
