Well I haven't chosen it myself...but being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and having to be gluten free. It's an anti- social and isolating auto immune disease. But at least now I'm no longer suffering malabsorption and stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea with extreme weight loss. So being gluten free has made me feel more like myself. Although I still get very tired as at this age it takes much longer for the small intestine to recover, if it ever does completely. I've stopped drinking wine too..but do miss it but thought I'd best give my guts a chance to heal. It's dull though!
What medical conditions seem more common now than when you were growing up?
