I have recently been confirmed as having celiacs disease and have only recently decided to do the whole GF diet.
My sister has it so at my last physical I asked my doctor to test for it along with my bloodwork, not expecting to be confirmed. After the blood test came back positive, I still resisted making the change until I had a confirmed biopsy done over Christmas.
I have no stomach issues eating gluten that would indicate the disease, but the long term consequences (ie cancers) are simply too big a risk to keep eating it.
I miss beer and pizza the most. I love the fad diets as it has opened up a ton of options in supermarkets and restaurants.
