Andy, I'm so sorry. ;_; I know this may not be of much comfort right now, but at least they caught this while you're still young. From what I've read about it, it seems that the gluten free diet essentially eliminates all the complications of the disease and allows the small intestines to heal in the vast majority of cases. I know it seems impossible right now to give up all those foods, but once you get used to it, it should become 2nd nature.

It may not be a bad idea to also get a 2nd opinion, just in case.

I think I speak for everyone else when I say no matter what happens, you should know that we're all here for you (even though we're not physically here). And we'll support and encourage however we can you whenever you need us. You're our beloved Andy, and as long as we're around you won't have to go thru this or anything else by yourself.

Life can be cruel sometimes, and when it is you can either let your situation get you down and steal your life, or you stand up and beat the crap out of it and come out even stronger. As your friends, our job is to keep you from doing the former and support you while doing the latter. I think I can safely speak for everybody when I say we'll help shove you back on your feet as many times as you need for as long as you need us to.

*insert massive group hug here*

Thank you Jason. You really cheered me up. And I know you're right, it's just going to take a little time.
