I was just diagnosed with Coeliac disease recently. I had a massive dose of antibiotics last October for a diverticulitis event. However, I have had a bad stomach, sleep problems, bad skin, spontaneous arthritic swelling and just not felt "right" for years. In three weeks of eating a gluten free diet I can't believe how much better I feel. The thought of running made me tired now I am running three miles three times a week and I actually have the energy to do it! I don't care what caused it, I don't care that I have to eat certain things and avoid others. The only thing that has been hard is beer. I am a beer snob and love the black, brown and red beers. I have found Greens red ale and I am a happy camper accept the price of 5.99. As for food in general, I was eating food with a list of ingredients as long as your arm and everything had wheat gluten.
