GF UPDATE!!

Post by laurenla520 »

Hey guys! I joined this board never in a million years thinking that I would be one of the posts giving an update reguarding my symptoms subsiding. As a young person with the disease, my D and GAS was beyond a social handicap, and I was really depressed about it, relying on prescription meds to cloud my unhappiness and anxiety about it. Well most of that seems to be over. I've been gluten free for a couple of weeks now, with no Entocort any as weird as it to say my BMs reming me of the old days. around two or three a day. i have been working and not anxious about gas in the meeting or anything else. thank you guys so much for all of your help, without u guys i never would have tried going gluten free, no thanks to my gi.

With love,
Lauren
