My Story I was diagnosed when I was fourteen years old. I took a blood test for

joint pains and the doctor had asked us to come in the office. When me and my parents arrived the doctor started to explained to us that I may have celiac and that I should go for a biopsy. I then went to a hospital to get the biopsy done. It came back positive for celiac. That know explained why I was always extremely tired, why I was nearly always annoyed, irritated, and bothered. I am usually nauseous after eating gluten. I have and an iron deficiency since I am eleven years old. I am approximately fifteen pounds over weight. Which I don’t think is that bad. I have been wearing glasses since I am five. I know that drinking Arizona and Brisk are the worst drinks for me to drink, but sadly they were also my favorite. I am seventeen know. I try to eat gluten free as much as possible. I stopped wondering why me when I was about fifteen and a half. I realized that celiac is something I have to live with so why not embrace it? I don’t let it get to me or bring me down because I know that things can be worse then what they are. I can only educate myself now and that’s why I made this PowerPoint. I also made this PowerPoint to educate others. SAVE A LIFE!
