For many years, my mother thought I was lactocant tolerant. This started a a baby when I would get tummy troubles after having milk. It went away for a few years, and then it seemed to pop up again, in 2007. 

I was turning 13 at the time. So we changed my diet from happy and unhealthy mostly to unhappy and healthy. It was a slight weight as I could have things, just different things, like icecream changed to lemon sorbet, latose filled milk to lactose free milk, I just had to have tiny amounts of cream or sour cream, or just go without, it was fine. Then, in July 2008, after my 2nd time at State (Cross Country this time, the time before was Atletics, 3000m) I started to feel really sluggish and tired and a very, very sore stomach, my brother’s friend was with us so I had to play it down, but my parents could see. Im sure he saw, because the whole drive back from Sydney (6 hours)I was either asleep, or crying. It was a long drive home. The day after I almost threw up. I also had tummy troubles as well, (Ahem), So I styed home from school. I was told that night that I was going to go back to school the next day, except I did throw up this time. My sister hadnt realised, she had slept through the whole thing and my mother had told me I was to stay at home for a week or so. 

After 6 long moths of weekly swappings (on Thursdays I either went to school or threw up, I hated Thursdays or it was also Wednesdays that I threw up, never went to school on Wednesdays, Sport day euch!) After the long 6 months that I could hardly walk, slept often, and ate Jelly Beans, and many doctors and blood test appointments later, they finally found I was a Hashimotos sufferer. 

Which is an autoimmune diseases, for the thyroid. (Under-active). So I was put onto a fat free diet after I ate whipped cream and other high fat foods and was VERY VERY SICK. Last year (2010), I started the whole big process of being sick again. After I ate coconut ice. Quite alot actually =/. So after many times throwing up again, i ate pasta, and threw up. 

Mum realised I was probably celiac. I had many blodd tests and a scope early this year( February 2011), but it came up negative. I ate pasta again, and threw up again. My physical evidence in my stomach (scolloping on the stomach wall, andcramping/vomiting) I was really disappointed, but the doctors said and my aunt who is wheat intolerant say that you need to eat wheat/gluten for 6 months before the scope (and biopsey) which I hadnt done, only for a week I had done. So after all these years (3 years in total), We have found that I am fat intolerant and most likely Celiac, my mum and all the medical and other sufferers that know me think I am. I need to find people my age (16 etc) to stop my depression, who know what I’m going through and can help me to come forward from what I’ve been through. I know it doesnt sound that bad, but billions and billions and billions of tears have been shed, and I would love it if someone was there to help me. My best friend has all she can do, she cant do much but listen because, in our words, shes alot healthier than me. Any teenagers out there, please talk to me.
