  1. Finding out you have an autoimmune condition. At 14 can be hard.
  2. There are multiple different autoimmune conditions and one I suffer from is called
  3. cytic disease.
  4. Celiac
  5. occurs in a person when their small intestine flares up due to them,
  6. including wheat, barley and rice.
  7. It can be very painful and can put some more better for up to a week
  8. living my life eating normal until my eighth grade
  9. year wasn't something I thought I had to do.
  10. I never prepared for it.
  11. And I remember I couldn't eat anything without being in pain
  12. and I always was having headaches and enjoy pain as well.
  13. I spent months not really eating and I would constantly
  14. skip meals if I knew what no one would be.
  15. I would notice
  16. the
  17. school question, why did you eat?
  18. And it got to the point where my failing to start noticing,
  19. although I didn't really tell my mom
  20. until Thanksgiving and that's something I regret
  21. because the way I explained it and the way I know she took it,
  22. it sounded like I had an eating this.
  23. Sorry,
  24. I told her that it felt like if I didn't eat,
  25. then I wouldn't be in pain and the problem will be solved.
  26. I knew she was upset, not necessarily me,
  27. but the overall situation I was in and the way I decided to
  28. fix it,
  29. she got me in with the doctors and they said everything was fine,
  30. but still got me with my brothers here
  31. weeks and weeks after different testing and something I love,
  32. I was concerned about what they would
  33. find and I was always anxious.
  34. I remember they took around 13 vials of my blood and it felt really weird.
  35. I also had to do the
  36. on my stomach and then different tests.
  37. I was happy that we were finally getting somewhere,
  38. but I was also really upset about missing.
  39. So at school,
  40. after another week of waiting for the test results, they finally came back.
  41. I didn't know what I was hoping for.
  42. I remember I was having a sinking feeling in
  43. my stomach and I was panicking on the inside
  44. waiting to see what they found to. The ecstasy is what
  45. to the doctor's room. And I was so confused because I didn't know what it was.
  46. Apparently it can be
  47. genetic. And I guess I did a
  48. short
  49. between my brother and I
  50. before I was born,
  51. I was content with knowing what was wrong with me and how I can help.
  52. The apartment was sad that I couldn't eat normal bread or normal, right? Things
  53. after my conversation with my G I I remember having
  54. learning the doctors and feeling like I wanted to cry.
  55. It didn't take
  56. long for me to get in the group of things.
  57. Once we found out I couldn't hook it.
  58. It was actually pretty easy. Even though sometimes it took a toll and we
  59. cleaned physically after everything had settled
  60. and the rest of my family knew about my own
  61. condition. Some of them had definitely started to treat me a little different.
  62. I remember my third month to me
  63. being that, you know,
  64. so
  65. I wanted to kill half my family.
  66. The reason being was because even though
  67. they were being considerate about not being
  68. not eating good for me,
  69. I didn't really care. I kept telling them and wanting them
  70. to eat whatever they wanted.
  71. And it felt like the only people who actually listened to her friend
  72. and grandpa
  73. and it got to the point where
  74. and
  75. my family had taken that into account
  76. when they would normally eat,
  77. which was great before it took a took me a couple more months to explain
  78. how I can eat to restaurants and certain foods. Because the
  79. me
  80. after having sillys for years,
  81. all this talking and comments kind of blend in
  82. the background and it still kind of sucks,
  83. not being
  84. not because I can't answer things.
  85. But the way some of my family friends still treat me
  86. uh
  87. being contaminated also really slow because it lasts for a couple of days and
  88. it puts you on bed rest and you can't really do anything about it
  89. and the symptoms will last for months after you get contaminated.
  90. My grandma and dad are especially bad with it and they tend to make mark
  91. on comments on my way and how they wish I did have this disease.
  92. I could finally keep weight on.
  93. It hurts a lot and sometimes the comments get to
  94. me to just stop eating the par of my thoughts,
  95. which is worse than getting contaminated.
  96. What
  97. I'm also certain my table believe that there's
  98. something that could just disappear over time,
  99. which it won't and it won't make you normal.
  100. It's not bad. Looks like it's a little sweet
  101. being self aware and what
  102. and
  103. on food drink, that was a big plus. And I remember I see
  104. the
  105. they don't care what they eat around me.
  106. In conclusion, living this
  107. disease has its ups and downs knowing that
  108. once people are we,
  109. they can take it either stride and make you feel normal and make
  110. remarks and ask some questions that will make you feel like you don't really
  111. wrong.
  112. Also, knowing it not to make any remarks hard can help a lot and makes
  113. people can be about certain
  114. things.
