      I have been dealing with IBS for at least 27 yrs. I was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue disease at 19 (wackos) I just finished going through all the rule out tests (for my husband because he seemed to think I didn't want to get better) What a crock. I don't go to friends houses for dinner, Christmas etc due to my problem. I am tired of missing life. I am 46 and still have a 14 and 8 yr old. I want to go on vacation, I really want to go on a cruise (boy am I crazy??? all that food????
