“…for the first time in my life I feel healthy and energetic.”
“One of my earliest memories is of a trip to Calgary Children’s Hospital with my dad and sitting on his lap while the doctor explained what they were going to do during the biopsy. The most common of my childhood stories recounted by my parents is that of the sleepless nights while I cried uncontrollably for the first two years of life. My youth was spent with constant stomach discomfort. I remember feeling high every time I ate a hotdog, and the embarrassment of having to run to the washroom in the middle of class or, even worse, a friend’s birthday party. It became harder during my adolescence when I was unable to concentrate in class and was constantly being disciplined by teachers, causing so much anxiety it became easier to just skip class. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I began to take this seriously but I was unable to find any answers. I was lucky enough to meet Marg and, through our conversations, her story emerged and she offered her help to me. I have been on a gluten free diet for almost three years now and for the first time in my life I feel healthy and energetic. I am now expecting a child of my own and feel truly blessed to know that I am now equipped with the knowledge and skills to make sure my child will not face the same challenges that I did. I cannot thank Marg enough!”
