At the age of nine, I lost 10 pounds in a month, and I wasn’t feeling hungry anymore
I went to my pediatrician, and they tested me for Celiac Disease through bloodwork, which came back positive
I was referred to a gastroenterologist who performed an endoscopy to confirm my diagnosis in March of 2018
After it was confirmed, I started my gluten-free diet and have been living gluten-free for 8 years now
If exposed to gluten I experience a range of symptoms...
Extreme nausea
Fatigue
Bloating
Stomach pains
Loss of appetite
It can take a few days to a week until I feel "normal" enough to resume everyday activities
