Wow your story is just like mine. I found out last June that I was Diabetic. For years now I have had at least 8 of the Celiac symptoms but did not know what it was until I was experimenting with my blood sugar levels to find foods I could eat. A common thing kept happening and it was certain grains. I looked this up and saw all of the symptoms.
I was shocked to see that I had at least 8 of them but not the main one which was the intestinal issues. Within a week of stopping eating gluten my joints stopped hurting and I have a lot more energy and the fog has lifted. I am going to see my Doc next month and get the test to confirm what is going on.
Steve,
Make sure you check out Dr. Cogan's post on Celiac Disease.
