Celiac disease...22 yrs old...80 lbs...

My doctor believes that I could have celiac disease and wants me to see a GI specialist.

I’m honestly scared to see them because of the type of testing they need to do.

I’ve always had a struggle with my weight. When I was 18 I started exercising and drinking shakes which brought me up to 105 lbs. I felt great!!

Then I got a Bf and lost control of my diet and didn’t care what I ate or when. I went down to 90 lbs within a year.

I got pregnant years later, got up to 126 before birth. I was EBF and still am (he’s 8 months - won’t take formula) and now, as of today, I am 80 pounds.

I hate my body. I hate being thin. I hate being bony. It’s a huge insecurity of mine.

I don’t know what to do. I try to eat, but at times I won’t have an appetite.

Does anyone have this disease? Or can give some helpful advice?

I’m worried for my health and my doctor seems to be very concerned. She even said “you can’t possibly lose anymore weight. There’s nothing left to lose”

😔😔

Posting anonymous because I’m embarrassed with myself. How did I let this happen. I’m not purposely doing this to myself.

Also, im a short gal. About 4’10

My parents aren’t thin either. my mom had a curvy body before she got very ill and my dad is normal. Not chubby or skinny

Thank you for the support ladies.

I’m not the doctor type. They make me anxious...
