Listen, if you have a friend or relative who has been suffering from some weird medical condition -I don't care if it is chronic headaches to an enlarged thyroid or even some kind of a strange heart problem. Then you should approach them and ask them if they have ever been tested for gluten allergies. Try to educate them and save a life. I can't tell you how many people I have spoken to who had no idea of this autoimmune disease and how it may be affecting other parts of their body and causing them medical turmoil. Now, if they are not healthy to begin with and don't care for themselves and never exercise then they probably have caused these stresses on their body. You know the ones who don't understand why their blood pressure is up, but they smoke 2 packs a day, drink a little too much while they stuff their mouths with tons of sugar and processed foods.
I had experienced all these symptoms and health problems and more and I was eating well and exercising and just couldn't put a finger on why I was feeling badly everyday. Looking back I would have loved to have had someone approach me and educate me on this disease. Maybe I wouldn't have suffered so long. I recall even working with a person who had this disease who never really discussed the adverse affects or wanted to educate the people around her. Some people are like that, but in these times it is pivotal that we all try to at least reach out when we hear of someone who is sick and they just don't know why. Step up and save a life! Thanks for listening.
