Having Celiac

Have I told you that I have a disease called celiac. It means I'm allergic to wheat,barley,rye,and other grains.But I can have rice flour,potato, flour,and other flours i can't remember.But if you have Celiac these little hairs called villi in your small intestine flatten out and can't break gluten down. So gluten can get into your blood and travel anywhere in your body ending up making you feel terrible.You can get headaches,stomach aches,you can feel like you have a cold all the time.I had awful stomach aches and I felt like I had a cold all the time.My stomach aches were so bad sometimes I couldn't stand up!It was terrible but after we found out I had it I felt so much better it was amazing!But there are stores like Whole foods and trader joes so it made it a lot easier.So that's my story about celiac disease.
