I guess he thinks I'm a crazy celiac because I research the disease like a mad woman, but that is because I am constantly feeling nauseous and rarely know why. Also, I want to know what the heck it is anyway, and know all the signs so when my sister starts showing them (as she is now) she can fix it quick without messing up her body too much.
And also because I am passionate about making the world know that our restaurant loves Celiacs! (or as my father refers to us in an oh-so-sensitive way, glutards...)
But, I don't think I'm crazy, I just think I care.
Thoughts?

Have you been diagnosed by a doctor to know exactly if you have celiac or if it is an allergy? There is a blood test and a genetic screening test. I've been going through several tests to see if I can get to the bottom of some of my health issues and I do not have celiac; instead, it is probably a gluten allergy. I can empathize with all your posted feelings, quandaries, rants, and mostly the urgency of educating those who don't understand so that we don't feel so isolated in our limitations. It's a pleasure reading... you're a willfully strong gal going through this on top of normal life changing events (such as college). Best of luck!
