My story.... The quick version

      For as long as I can remember I've been sick. As an infant I had tubes in my ears and my tonsils out. When I started school my "tummy" hurt all the time, teachers would tell my mom that I needed to tough-in up and that I was too babied. It was frustrating for my parents, teachers, and especially me because I just didn't feel well. Finally at age 10 I was diagonosed with the genetic forum of  celiac spur. It was a realativly a new diagnosis and gluten free food was not readily available and very expansive. Even though this diagnosis was good because I finally knew why I didn't feel well it was hard to eat in social setting I often got sick due to cross contamination. celiac is more known now but a lot of symptoms go undiagnosed for instance my mom had what she called my celiac crazy after I would get "poisoned" (contaminated by wheat/gluten) I would have the normal symptoms which were migraines, upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation, failure to thrive, weight loss, dental enamel of permanent teeth. And behavioral issues. Now let's talk about my crazy's "behavioral issues" they were caused by gluten free food that was processed where wheat was present. After I finished the normal symptoms I became fearful and wouldn't leave my house. I would cry for days on end and was not reasonable at all. More than once my mom would drag me out of the house and push me on the school bus where I would cry most the day at school. As I got older leaving my house scared me so much that I would literally jump out of people's cars. I want to share my story in hopes that one person can benefit from my journey. The good news is after 11 years I am healed.
