My husband will be happy to know that he wins. He too was diagnosed by accident after 2 other bad diagnoses, 4 specialists, and some facial nerve damage. The last doctor looked at his "found nothing" tests, but when he noticed that my husband had NO detectable vitamin B in his blood, he off-handedly suggested Celiacs as a possibility. So we tried it. I cry sometimes when I see the difference in him now after 6 months on the diet! He is happier than I have seen him in the 16 years I have known him! Just like you his head is clear, he is happy and content, and has so much energy I can hardly keep up with him. In fact, the first time he got an acid stomach and heartburn from a GF meal (sausage...he had thought it was the meat making him sick...turns out it was the bun!) we laughed because I reminded him that those sensations were what EVERYONE feels after spicy foods! He hadn't had normal reactions for so long he didn't recognize them! But of course, I am the naggy wife. I have been trying to get him to go and get it properly diagnosed. I suppose, after reading your articles for a few months now and watching his body heal, that we have our answer. Thanks so much for all the help and inspiration your website and e-mails have given us! I am sure my husband will be grateful that you changed my mind! Well, Ok!
