Life changes all the time, no matter what you do in it. About 2 years ago, I got diagnosed with the gene for celiac disease, which is a gluten allergy. I traveled to many different doctor offices and even stayed a crazy amount of sleepless nights in hospitals. I finally had a special surgery to see if my doctors can see if I had the disease or not. My doctor told my parents that I did not have the disease at the time, but it will develop anytime. So that means that it can come tomorrow or it can come 20 years from now, which gave me so much hope for the future. I stayed on the gluten-free diet for about 4 months while all of this was happening. My doctor soon told me that I need to eat all the gluten foods I can eat, so I got so excited and went completely crazy. Gluten is in many different kinds of foods that we eat in our everyday lives, so when I took it out of my diet my body wasn't used to it. Well, recently I started to show more symptoms of celiac disease, so I went to my doctors to get blood work and things like that. Today, I found out that my disease is now fully active, and it's crazy to understand that I finally have it fully. As of right now, the only cure for celiac disease is staying on the gluten-free diet my entire life. I can't eat at all the places I used to eat at, can't have many sweets, and I honestly kinda feel like a burden to other people now because of it. I feel like I sound stuck up telling people why I can't eat gluten, and I don't wanna be that way at all. Now when my friends and I hang out we have to eat at certain places because of it, which is so sad. So please, with whatever you may do in life, don't take what you can eat for granted.
