In June 2010, with a new round of stomach pain and other symptoms, I was sent to a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy.

Celiac Disease
Earlier this summer, I was able to attend the Celiac Disease Foundation’s National Conference and Expo. This was my second time attending, and I once again enjoyed it and learned so much!
