A healing of celiac disease
Originally appeared online in the teen series: Your Healings - March 12, 2019
When I was only eleven years old, I was told that I had an incurable disease called celiac disease. Celiac disease meant I couldn’t eat bread, pasta, cakes, some soups, and worst of all, candy. It was challenging to go to restaurants with my family or over to a friend’s house. I felt like a burden.
When I got the diagnosis, I wasn’t a Christian Scientist. The following year, my mother married her best friend, who is a Christian Scientist, and I began to learn more about Christian Science healing. However, it never occurred to me that I could be healed of something doctors called incurable. Finally, though, I was so tired of feeling like I was a burden to everyone because of all the things I couldn’t eat that I decided to turn to the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, for answers.
