It's really not bad as far as digestive problems go. It's actually one of the easiest to manage and I would have been relieved if I had it although that's the perspective of ' if I'm going to be sick I would rather this' as opposed to the option of being healthy. Obviously healthy wins every time. Now I'm just hoping whatever is wrong with me stays solved by just changing my diet a little. For some reason I'm deficient in B-12 when I'm eating gluten but just fine when I'm not so I don't know really might have just messed up the test. My grandfather is the same way and he tested negative as well. I guess they'll figure it out eventually but for now I just hope things keep working out. Another theory is maybe it would have developed into Celiac since it is in the family. My mom only got bad later in life but had a few problems earlier that were seemingly related. I obviously can't know if she would have tested positive with the early problems but I do wonder. Oh and then there's my sister who got terrible migraines her whole life and those stopped when she stopped eating it. They came back again when she started eating gluten again but she isn't bothering with the test. People just don't have time for that kind of stuff so we won't ever know what's wrong with her but being migraine free makes her pretty happy these days. Scientists have their work cut out for them studying the human body that's for sure
