The pictures that say more than a million words...

What a difference gluten free living has made!! I'd like to share my "mystery illness" photo with you, for anyone who might think gluten intolerance only manifests in digestive issues. I felt and looked like a different person with swollen eye lids and sockets, and the rash making my nose swell. I was loosing clumps of hair. I was covered in a flaky rash, had swollen joints, peripheral neuropathy, mood swings, vision issues, cognitive decline, EXTREME fatigue, and was dealing with a big weight gain due to medications and not being able to move. I was using a walker and found simple tasks such as the dishes... took all day. I was terrified and constantly anxious because I was pretty sure I'd be dead by now.

I don't know how to edit photos, so YES, this is real
