I tell people that it was the best thing to happen to me, being
diagnosed.  As I was so sick before hand and went through every test
imaginable only to find nothing wrong.  I wsa starting to think it was
all in my head.  except in the last feww weeks before being diagnosed I
lost 30 lbs and a friend of the family said go get tested for celiacs.  i
never heard of it before and I went to the doctor and asked him to test
for that.  Sure enough, I was happy as now I could takes steps, without
medication, to start feeling better.>

The rest is history and I feel great.
