You can read Part 1 of my Celiac story HERE. Mustering up every ounce of gumption I could afford, I worked that day knowing it was very well my last working day. I could barely concentrate enough to have a regular conversation. My mind was constantly changing the subject and I had to fight with everything I had to stay in reality.
