I guess I forgot to give you all an update when I returned from Mayo. They diagnosed Celiac's disease which is an autoimmune allergy to gluten (wheat, barley, rye, & a few lesser known grains). My body has been attacking my intestines to destroy the villi that absorb the evil gluten. In the process, my body hasn't been able to absorb much of anything leading to the extreme fatigue, abdominal pain, and other things.
So another autoimmune disorder to tact up to the Zeets side of the family. Love you all!

I'm glad there is a diagnosis. Is the main part of solution to recognize and eliminate the gluten products?
