Diagnosis

Dear friends & family,

So many of you have prayed for me over the years with my bouts of health issues, well, God is truly good and the journey, the long at times hard and painful journey has come to an end. As we presumed when I stopped eating all wheat, barley and rye products about 1.5 years ago, I have a condition know as Celiac. It is the cause behind my upset stomach, grand-mal seizures, migraines and various other symptoms.

There isn’t a cure other than the Great Physician removing it. It has opened my eyes about the condition and I really want to get the word out in the community that it is real. It’s not a joke. In fact the Mayo Clinic has a website that says this in regards to Celiac and it’s prevalence in society, “Approximately 3 million Americans are affected by celiac disease (about 1 in 100 people), making it almost as prevalent as type 1 diabetes.” Did you know this?? Every day I learn more and am hopeful that with more awareness people can find out if this is the reason behind their own Leukemia or their mom’s Rheumatoid Arthritis........

Here are some good websites if you want to read more on it:
