<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> It's quickly coming up to the first anniversary of my diagnosis of celiac (non-challenged) and I started to realize how far I've come in a year. For one thing, and the main thing--I feel so much better. For 56 of my 57 years I was poisoning myself and didn't know it. My energy level is way up. I sleep better. Roseacea is gone. Chronic yeast infection is gone. Colds and flu--non-existent. Milk Allergy (not intolerance)--gone. Skin, hair and nails the best ever. My daughter has not had an allergic asthmatic bronchitis attack since we changed the diet (in our house, when someone needs a special diet, we all go on that diet, unless counter-indicated) So, those of you who are new to the diet and diagnosis--hang in there. Great changes are on the way for you! Ann
