Celiac disease - help spread the truth!

Hope everyone's having a lovely fruity week so far :)

I just wanted to share with you my latest video on celiac disease. Most of you know that I suffered for many years with this condition undiagnosed, and became seriously ill as a result. It would have made such a difference to my life if I had known or been told about celiac disease when I first got ill, and so not had to go through everything that I did.

Now I want so much to spread the truth about this condition and to help others who are suffering. And I hope with all my heart that I can spare someone the pain that I went through.

For more information on my health story you can visit my website www.therawmonkey.com or check out some of my previous blog post and videos:

I wish you all the best on your own hcrv journey.

Take care,

You are perfectly right that trusting your instincts and listening to your body is so important...much more helpful than listening to the doctors!

Thank you again for taking the time to watch and comment on my video - I really appreciate your support. Take care, Esperanza xxx

Comment by Jerica Anne on July 19, 2012 at 1:57pm: Such a touching and inspirational video. I am a celiac too, and doctors didn't diagnose it for years. I even had one doctor insist that he tested me for it, and when I challenged his statement, he finally checked my file and admitted that he was wrong. He hadn't tested me at all. It is so unfortunate that so many people go undiagnosed. I think a very important message I take away from your video is to trust your instincts. If you feel that something is wrong, listen to your body. Don't just take your doctor's word for it. Trust yourself. Thank you for video
