    • Close Celiac Disease

      As a writer and lecturer who has decades of living with Celiac Disease before it was properly diagnosed last year, I know firsthand the perils of travel and dining outside of home when living with an intestinal disorder. Neuropathy has proved to be the factor that has almost done me in but, after discovering Naturopathic medicine, I am learning to live better with the pain and I will not quit. Finding this site is joyous.
