Diagnosis

I have the results of the tissue biopsies taken during a colon/endoscopy 2 weeks ago.

They are "highly suggestive of celiac disease".

So, there we are. Celiac disease.

No gluten for me.

This is going to mean a huge lifestyle change and I am, to be honest, a little intimidated.

Most important thing (after omitting gluten from your diet of course!): look at all the things you can eat that are naturally free from gluten. Never look at it from the aspect of "but I can't have that". There are a lot of people who swear by the Atkins diet but you don't have to go that far - veggies, fruit, buckwheat (recipes with no wheat added), loads of wonderful food just waiting for you!!! Good luck, it's really not so bad! New skill to learn: reading the package labels!!!
