Hello, I am Monday from Mondays Celiac and I suffer from Gluten intolerance. I was misdiagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) for many years until my doctor tested me for Celiac Disease. The tests came
back negative because I had already started the gluten free diet and I did not want to be tested again requiring months of a gluten diet. The doctor said to continue the Gluten Free Diet. I have been on the Gluten Free Diet since January of 2009 and I feel 100% better. It is difficult to eat gluten free every day, but it is much better than feeling terrible with IBS issues all the time. The gluten free diet has been a miracle for me and I want people with IBS issues to be tested for Celiac Disease to see if you have Celiac Disease. Whatever the results if you have IBS symptoms there is a good chance that you will feel better with a gluten free diet, but please get tested first. If you go on a gluten free diet before being tested the test will come out negative and you will not know for sure. I plan to post my adventures with eating a gluten free diet in this blog and find other interesting articles to share with you. So please add your name to the community signup list and I keep you up to date with important happenings related to eating a gluten free diet. Follow me on twitter at mondaysceliac.
Thanks,
Monday
