Dear Alicia,
Yes you will have some roads ahead of you and you have been dealt a "not so good hand" but if anyone can handle this challenge you can. I want you to remember that we are all here for you and behind you and will help in any way we can. Hopefully this New Year will bring you a lot more success than last year did and hopefully this "gluten-free" diet will be the key.
Good luck and lots of success to you in your journey to new found health and also to your challenge of school. This year you will become . healthier, smarter and hopefully more informed about your auto immune condition and will have a better handle on it.
Good Luck,
Love, mom
