The Doctor Gluten Project

Cynthia writes: “23 yrs ago I started having these health problems but my doctor just said it was stress.  But 3 yrs ago I read that celiac disease the most misdiagnosed disease.  Well that was me!  It also was affecting my mother.  I went back to my doctor to get the blood work.  It came back positive - I had it!  Then the biopsy showed that I had total villus atrophy.  Wasn’t I slow to be diagnosed?!  I am now worried about my 16 year old daughter".

Thanks Cynthia. It is great news that you are now diagnosed with celiac disease.

Yes, your daughter could be affected too. She needs the celiac and gluten tests too.

Oh dear, every week I hear these terrible stories of delayed diagnosis.  In my opinion, EVERYONE who has ANY ongoing symptoms should get blood tests for celiac disease and gluten-sensitivity.  I think that I must sound like a broken record.  But I hear the same old problems time and time again.  That is why I am beginning to increase the awareness of gluten harm.  Let’s get everybody talking about gluten.  Rodney Ford.
