Hi, my name is Donna and I'm blessed to be mom to a beautiful 17 year old daughter named Sarah. She is the reason I'm part of the AIP community. Sarah was diagnosed with celiac in 2012 but being gluten free didn't help her feel totally well. She still struggled with abdominal pain and chronic fatigue. We stumbled across The Healing Kitchen around January of 2016. When we went on AIP last spring, Sarah felt well for the first time in years! (I do the diet with her as her support partner.) Yeah!! But she became impatient with the reintroduction phase and gradually became more and more sick as the months went along.
So we are on our 2nd try with AIP - this time starting May 1, 2017. We've begun reintroductions and are progressing well - but summer is so hard with all the fun activities with her friends. It's so hard for her to stay strictly on the diet. I'm hoping to find some other teens in a similar situation. We are in south orange county, California but perhaps even an online 'friend' could be an encouragement for both girls.
So appreciative that there's a support community for all of those dealing with autoimmune issues!
