The Many Symptoms Of Celiac.

Turning 30 should be celebrated, you are about to enter the best years of your life, so they say. But when I turned 30 all I could think was, how come everyone else isn’t complaining about how exhausting aging is? My health hadn’t even got to its worst at this point. I often wonder what triggered my celiac. Was I gluten intolerant first? Was it a virus? Maybe the mumps, the measles, phenomena? Maybe the flu? Or maybe childbirth was the final straw. My Grandads niece is the only family memeber I know of who has an autoimmune disease, so it’s just me in my immediate family. When I left home at 19, my diet changed, and not for the better. I worked a lot of jobs, 70 hour weeks were normal, I was also studying and partying pretty hard. Ironically, the first major change in my health I can remember, is when I worked in a bakery.

Married to a Celiac

When my wife found out she had celiac, I had no idea what that meant or how serious an issue it was for her health.  I learned pretty quickly though. I was shocked at how common gluten is in food and how little the food industry knew about gluten, including cross contamination. Sometimes, staff at cafes would use the same tongs for gluten treats as they would the gluten free treats.  I would say "this is not okay!" And they would look at me with puzzled looks, we don't eat at those places anymore.  Other times staff asked "how serious is your wife's celiac?" Early on, my wife didn't want to order for herself and have to explain EVERYTHING about celiac every time we went out.  So I would often do the ordering so she wouldn't get frustrated.  I would get quite protective when I was asked those strange questions of her celiac and made sure the places we went to knew what they were doing, otherwise we would walk out. In the 6 years we've known,
