Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

He's had very bad stomach pain very frequently for almost a year and my parents were apprehensive to get him tested because he wasn't as sick as I was, and his came and went so he still had a life (mine was consumed). But today was the last straw I guess...
He got blood tested, which makes me nervous because mine was negative - but based on enterolab results I have it.
He does eat gluten often - but he hasn't eaten anything in the past 24 hours because of being ill.
Anyway, I just don't know what to think because I wouldn't wish this on anyone but the thought of not being alone and not being the only one in my family relieves me. Is that mean?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It is natural to want to have someone who understands how you feel. In fact, my mom just passed the week before Christmas. She never had patience for me. (I have permanent excruciating leg pain from nerve damage due to misdiagnosis for ten years.) When she started being treated for cancer two years ago, it caused severe leg pain. She stopped nagging at me and understood for the first time. When she passed two weeks ago, I felt like I lost the one person who understood how I feel dealing with this pain everyday. I did not want her to continue living in the pain and agony that the cancer caused her. Yet, I still grieved the loss of someone who understood. It sounds to me like this is what you are feeling.
