celiac disease is genetic

I just learned many people have the genes to develop celiac disease but it can take a long time for the illness to emerge.

For at least two years, I have talked to my primary about the symptoms that are common for someone with celiac. Thank goodness I saw a pain specialist a few months ago who told me if I had these symptoms several times a day, it was not normal. So then I repeated that to my primary and finally, years into the symptoms that I had told her about (I love her anyway -- she spends time with her patients but is not a great diagnostician . . I have to figure out what to tell her to get diagnosed!). . . so today I see the specialist to help me with these symptoms and right away she thinks is celiac.

I haven't heard the test results but I know I have it. My mom had it but she often ate gluten.

Me. I will never eat gluten again if the test results say I have it.
