Re: Celiac checkup

Oh, please Madison, don't ever think that way. I'm a parent, and I know how devastated parents feel when their kids suffer. Are you able to talk to them about how you feel? I know that sometimes it's difficult. When I was a teenager, sometimes I felt so depressed that I wanted to end my life, but I never wanted to burden my parents with these feelings. Now that I'm an adult and a parent, I know how receptive I am to the feelings that my kids have (and I know my parents would have been), even though they're now adults. I don't judge them--I just "feel" for them, and I hope and pray for the best for them.

Besides that, Madison, there are those of us here who pray for the best for you. Sometimes horrible things happen in our lives, but if we desire wisdom, we will be able to learn from these things. No matter what we experience, there are more horrible things that people have lived through, and we should strive to be strong and endure as those before us have. May God give you the strength that you require...

I went to the hospital for some tests Wednesday, I had to stay overnight because they wanted me on a special diet for 24 hours before some tests.

There was signs of healing in both sections of my intestine that were tested. I am so happy that maybe I will recover and be able to live a near normal life. Of course, I must remain on a strict gluten free diet forever.

There was some bad news, I am anemic and they gave me vitamin injections. I have to eat more meat and some vegetables, all prepared at home with gluten free ingredients. The only spice I can use is salt. I had been eating almost nothing but rice because it made me feel better.

I have been so much trouble and expense to my parents that they must wish I was never born and sometimes I wish that too.
