Eating Gluten?!

So it has been 9 months since I have been off of eating gluten. This past month I went to see this lady Candace Brown for my wrist. She fixed that and I told her that I had Celiac Disease and she told me No you don't, no one has it. I was really shocked to hear this and definetly skeptical. Anyways she felt my stomach area and she said that my bowels were twisted and that is why I was having problems with digesting gluten. So she untwisted them and said you can eat gluten now. I just have to make sure I eat fibre.

So I went home and just looked at my mom and said she is crazy! She can't know that I don't have Celiac disease! So for that first week I didn't eat gluten I was to skeptical. Well know I have been bits and pieces here and there. I had 2 crackers yesterday and 1 cracker today and I feel great! Last week I had a bowl of Campbells cream of chicken soup with 4 crackers and I felt great afterwards! Crazy right! I even had hot chocolate that said MAY CONTAIN WHEAT and once again I felt fine.

I do have an appointment with the specialist for Celiac disease in January and in December I have to go get my blood tested. So I am testing this out. If my numbers are below 20 that means I am normal and fine and I don't have Celiac Disease but if my numbers are way out there then I do.

I am praying to God that I don't because it would make my life easier and as well as my parents. I am okay with either outcome because I have been living without gluten for over 9 months. So whatever Gods answer is I will accept it with grace. I am okay with living without gluten but I do miss being able to go out to a restaurant and ordering whatever I want on the menu without worrying about whether it will be gluten free or contaminated with gluten.

I am looking forward to January and I will let you know my results :)
