Well, It's official!

Hey guys, 
I was able to get my endoscopy done and I was so beyond nervous for it. 
I was told that I would not remember a thing, unfortunately I DO REMEMBER. 
It wasn't the most pleasant thing to have done but now I know for sure 100% if I have Celiacs or not.  
Earlier this month I got my test result back from the pathologist and it is confirmed that I indeed have Celiacs Disease. 
I was told to go unto my gluten free diet right away and to go meet with a dietitian. 
I actually look forward to meeting with the dietitian because I want to speak to her about how I would like to transition my whole family unto the gluten free diet, so there isn't such a high risk of cross contamination. People with Celiacs CANNOT HAVE any risk of cross contamination, so I urgently need to get this figured out. 

Overall, I am glad I did this and it's over with. On the down side, I will never ever be able to eat gluten again. Fortunately, they are making so many products gluten free now, that it will make it a tiny bit easier for me. 

Would I suggest or encourage someone who has went on the gluten free diet before getting an accurate diagnosis of celiacs, to get tested for sure before going on the diet and undergo everything I had to?

               -The answer is YES. 
I think it's very important to know for sure because this is your body and your life, and with that said, you are responsible for taking care of it, why not make sure for sure, so you know you will be healthy the rest of you life. 

So guys.... I do for sure 100% have Celiacs and I will be on a gluten free diet for the rest of my life. 
Good to know.
