I have Celiac Desease

After fighting different GI issues my whole life, 7 years ago I was diagnosed with CD at the age of 56. I am very reactive to cross-contamination of gluten and it is a daily battle. My “intestines” can react “aggressively” within 30 minutes, but the increased brain fog and fatigue can last for a week to 10 days. Yes, GF alternatives are out there, but many are not very tasty or healthy for you. Oreo GF version #1 was a no-go for me as I reacted to them. Version #2 has been a win, so far… We are all different in our sensitivity or reactiveness, so having support and encouragement is awesome, but we must be our own strong advocate.

@michaelens I know you’ve been around Connect for several year, but this is your first comment. So, welcome! Sounds like you’ve had real problems until now. How have you managed CD since diagnosis?
