Dietitian

So did you know you can spell it dietitian or dietician? Both are spelled correctly. Strange huh?

Anyway, I saw a dietitian yesterday. She was great. She gave me a ton of information and websites to go to, support group info., meal ideas and so much more. It was really interesting. She also told me that if we found out the girls have it, she would go to their teachers and speak with them about celiac disease.

One of the things she really stressed yesterday is that I am not the first one in my family to have this. It generally doesn't appear out of no where. So unless I was adopted and don't know it, SOMEONE in my family has it, they just don't know yet. So I really want my parents and brothers to be tested for it.

Like I said before, my symptoms were mainly GI. But in other people they may show up as depression and fatigue or skin issues. I won't list all of my family's "problems", but I do believe there are a few people in my family- mainly my mom's side- that may have CD. Go get a blood test!!

Anyway, that's it. I may be sending out personal emails to those family members- only because I love you! :)
