Why I started this group

My name is Mike or Michael. I have suffered from a Gluten Intolerance all my life without knowing it. I thought that the normal way was to eat, have serious pains and all the other consequences of this disease.

I never fell the sensation of hunger. I was also very very thin. But I got weaker and weaker and in 2005 they finally found the reason. After excluded gluten from my diet I started putting on weight. More than 40 pounds actually. And I had new sensations such as the sensation of HUNGER.

The first couple of pounds I did not mind. It was the last 30 pounds that made me depressed.

Since I kept gaining approx 2 pounds every month I had to change my way of life. I have to try to get back in to some sort of shape.
