I never felt rested
when I woke up.
I got migraines all the time.
I was hungry all the time,
and people feared
for their lives
when they were around
me when I got hungry,
because I crashed
and turned into a crazy person.
And just felt
generally cranky and...
bad, basically.
The outlook on life
prior to being diagnosed
and figuring out
what was going on
was pretty bleak.
I had chronic fatigue syndrome,
fibromyalgia.
[Woman] Chronic migraines,
that was a huge one.
I had chronic
gastrointestinal issues.
And I saw gastroenterologists
for several years,
and no one ever told me
I thought that I had
early-onset
rheumatoid arthritis.
I had numbness in my feet
and in my limbs.
I was always cold.
Everything and anything I took
really didn't provide me
any relief whatsoever.
How I would I have been?
35, or 34, or something.
You're probably not supposed
to feel that crappy at that age,
right?
That's not old.
But I felt old.
I had come
to just really live with it.
It became part of my life.
[Man]
feeling weird
from very early on, you know.
Not feeling healthy.
Not feeling like
I lived to full capacity.
Even as a child.
And that's weird.
I mean, the thing is
everyone is so sick
in this country.
Our food system is so broken.
[Man] The solution given to me
by my GP was,
"Don't worry.
If you take these meds now,
"you'll be able to keep these...
you know, suppress these issues
that you're facing,
and you should be able
to live longer."
[Man] It's amazing...
You know, it's like
the human body
just gets comfy with stuff
or accepting of conditions
and just kind of like...
It's like,
"Oh, this is gonna hurt."
Or, "I have a bum knee,"
or I have a whatever.
"We'll just kind of
deal with it. We'll compensate.
We'll be fine."
And so, you get used
to those things.
And so,
the same thing happened with me.
I just felt horrible,
but did it for so long
that I forgot how bad
I actually felt
and how it felt to feel good.
but I was never well either.
I was vegetarian
for about six years.
I ate fish sometimes,
but was mostly vegetarian,
and also mostly dairy-free,
because the person
I was with at the time
had a dairy allergy.
So in addition
to being vegetarian,
I was also eating way more soy
than anyone should ever consume
over their lifetime.
Because we had
all the dairy substitutes,
like the fake butter,
and the soy milk, and the...
I don't even remember what else,
but it was all pretty horrible.
And I also worked
in vegetarian restaurants
at the time.
That was my life, basically,
and was eating seitan,
which is wheat gluten,
sandwiches
on rye bread.
So, I was just eating
a straight-up gluten sandwich.
So gluten and soy
were, like, my main staples
in my diet,
and I was completely
the angry chef that threw pans.
I was... psychotic
and not a happy person.
And of course,
there were other factors.
It wasn't 100% diet,
but that played a huge role.
I was definitely
the sickest I've ever been
and the unhappiest
I've ever been.

My husband was Paleo
for almost a year.
And through that year,
every time I ate,
I had just horrid pain,
stomach pain,
and he would say,
"I really think
that you have Coeliac,
and I think you need
to get it checked out."
And if you have it,
if you take about a pinch
of saffron, you'll want to...

My specialty as a chef
was Italian.
After about a year,
