Double Whammy

Hello Everyone!

So I have some exciting news... I was able to get the results of my genetic test that I had done to test for the genetic disposition of Celiac Disease (gluten intolerance) and gluten sensitivity. They e-mailed me the results and the good news is that I do not have the genetic disposition for Celiac; however, I have 2 (yes, two) genes for gluten sensitivity. Talk about a double whammy. Thanks mom and dad for that one! So basically that means that I am highly sensitive or have a low intolerance for gluten. I figure it's practically the same thing as having Celiac, so either way, no gluten for me for the rest of my life! Not sure how I feel about that exactly, but I think I'm okay with it! :) Since I have been gluten free for almost a month now, I have to admit I do feel really great and have A LOT more energy than I did beforehand. I also have only had one headache compared to having one every single day. Looks like we are on the right track, and I can't wait to update you on what I find out next Friday when I go to the doctor to find out the rest of my results!!! Tune in tomorrow to talk about a topic I know we all can relate to whether you are sick or healthy! -- Just a side note-- Natural Health Magazine is a great way to learn more about eating healthy, recipes, and a whole lot more! You can buy the mag or check it out online @ naturalhealthmag.com

Besos,
