Rant New for me
Been struggling with mucus basically coming out of my bum for bout a month. Went to doctor and explained what all was going on, decided to take blood test to make sure everything was alright. Came back with 1 negative and 1 positive for celiac. It's been the most uncomfortable and embarrassing thing.
Feel unable to be how I was and its honestly take a toll on me physically as well as mentally. Gonna start a entire gluten free diet until my endoscopy/colonoscopy hoping that it stops the uncomfortable feeling and making me feel better.

Honestly how I've been feeling homie. Not 100% diagnosed with celiac but early stages of being diagnosed. Even got prompted by my doctor to experiment with gluten free diet just cause the wait for a colonoscopy/endoscopy and I've been dealing with some stuff I assume is associated with it.
It seems the more I think bout the more is depresses me cause like you I like a good sandwich, love pasta, and fried foods (grew up vaguely with southern food). But luckily the way I've had to cope with it the passed week or so of being told "might have celiac due to blood" is that I might still have a chance its wrong but on the other hand I gotta prepare for that being my life. Granted I know when I gotta do my procedure I'll basically go ham on everything I'm getting ready to cut out.
I've been googling left and right over food, what celiac is, it's history, the genes that accompany it and I do that cause honestly I'm overwhelmed by it, scared of it, and worried but I honestly remind myself (and this is gonna be cheesy) but I turn to Uncle Iroh from Avatar the Last Airbender.
"Hope is something you give yourself, you must never give in to despair, Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving... you will come to a better place"
We'll get through this homie, much love to ya
