Gluten Free??

OK so I think I have figured out my stomach problems. Gluten? Celiac Disease. Could this be my answer? I am on my way to find out. I am not going to go through the test to know for sure, my main reason is if I don't really know then I can still eat some gluten when I want. Also, I DO NOT want to go through all of the test I went through several years ago with a new doctor. I guess if not eating gluten makes me not sick then why wouldn't I do it? Celiac disease or not. So, I thought I would blog about it and maybe this will help me stay focus. Also I can record what I am eating and if I am getting sick or not. When I became pregnant I wasn't sick at all. Now the twins are 2 years old and my stomach issues are returning. I have been trying to be Gluten free for a few weeks. But not official, meaning still basically eating the same. I have been doing a few things. Ok, so now tomorrow it is official or at least I am going to try more. Since work started back in August I have completely Gluten free at work. That has helped so much. I haven't been sick once and it has been a month already. Now I need to carry that through to home, which isn't as easy. I bought a book about going Gluten free and have read it and I really need to do this. Everything I have read about Celiac Disease is me. So, I need to find out if being Gluten free will help with my stomach issues. Tomorrow I think will be easy I made chili which if I eliminate the crackers, I should be fine. I bought my special pasta. I have been eating that most of the summer and it is the first time I have ever ate pasta and have not been sick. Still not proof but it helps. Here is the bad thing as I am typing this I am eating Haagen-Dazs ice cream. I need one more night of good stuff. I did buy some Gluten free brownie mix so I will see how those come out this week. Yes, I do realize I will be making a trip to the bathroom in a little while, but that is why I don't want to know. Now, if someone else besides me is reading this, WHY?? but you must excuse the grammar and the spelling because I am just typing without rereading.
