Important Info

Ok, I am 27 years old and I was just diagnosed with celiac disease, which is an auto-immune disorder, and because my stomach can't digest a protein called gluten my body responds by destroying the lining of my small intestine, severly inhibiting the uptake of many nutrients. I have had a problem with this most of my life but the doctors I have been to in the past have diagnosed it as IBS or irritable bowel syndrome which shares many of the same symptoms, and for his reason many people are misdiagnosed. I will be starting my new diet within the next week and i am interested to see how my progress will be from now on. Unfortunately if my intestines are in very bad shape it may take up to three years for them to heal. But I feel that they are not as bad as they could be because my health is not in total disrepair but I think that this problem I have could have been the reason that my gains have been sporadic and inconsistant. I'll try to keep updating this. thanks for reading

Update

Just wanted to update on my condition, I am slowly eliminating the gluten out of my diet and the news is, I feel a hell of alot better. I need to talk to the nutricionist that my doctor hooked me up with, but i have been doing alot of studying about the different types of food I can eat and am adjusting accordingly. My guts might take a while to heal but now that I have been eating alot cleaner the improvement is night and day. Just a word to everyone out there, if you have problems GET YOURSELF checked out because I used to just take it and grin, I had several doctors just tell me I had irritable bowel syndrome and send me on my way, DON'T DO WHAT I DO!

belated update

Great news, I dont have Celiac disease, bad news I had to come to mexico and have my girlfriend translate what the specialist said, I have una colon redundante, or in ingles a redundant colon, basicaly it means I have a pretzled rectum, instead of the pooh taking an S curve out to the porcelaine highway it needs to do a complete loop, it sucks and i need surgery to correct this, but apparently its not to bad no big deal couple hours on the meat cutting table and im in and out in 2 days. so... unlike the seventh general practitioner that i went to in canada to help me with my problem, who only looked at the results of some blood samples that he took before diagnosing me with a problem that would effect the rest of my life, I was gave a colon enema and had some x-rays took of my stomache, oh and the thing that really pisses me off about that other doctor is he didnt even take the intestine sample to follow up with the blood tests which happens to be necessary,(I did find this info on the net buy the way) anyway long winded I know, thanks for reading, I hate crappy doctors that think they fucking know everything because they spent 7 years in college doing beer bongs and reefer hits, Im out bye for now
