I should have known about my celiac sooner

Really they should have diagnosed me sooner. As a baby they said I was lactose intolerant so they put me on a soy formula. It contained gluten, I still got sick. My mom switched me to goat's milk which I stayed on until I was well into grade school. Seriously I was they only kid for a long time at my tiny Catholic school that couldn't have milk. I was still having stomach problems but wouldn't complain because I hated the doctor and only said something when I didn't want to go to school. Then my grandma (I think it was her) forgot and gave me milk and ice cream. It totally didn't bother me at all. They decided I grew out of it.
I continued with having stomach issues but at this point it was normal for me and I thought everyone did.
My junior year of high school I was diagnosed with PCOS, poly-cystic ovary syndrome, and told that was the reason for the pain.
The pain continued. Fast forward to fall 2008, I started to notice some other symptoms weren't as normal as I thought. Thanks to having premed/ med friends and webmd.  I went to my doctor and demanded all kinds of testing. I wanted my thyroid tested, screened for diabetes, a celiac test, and a few others. He took all those tests and then put my on an elimination diet and had me call every time I eliminated something else. The second week was gluten. I didn't know what gluten was. I searched it out. I eliminated it and felt tons better. Got the test results back I had the celiac gene.
Something should have been done way back in 1984, when I had the formula issues.
I'm still a bit angry about it, but  it can't be changed now. Now I know what it is and how to fix it.
Here is a company that really helped me first get on the gluten free track:

NOODLES!!!!

Okay I haven't written in a while but I have come back with exciting news. I found gluten free noodles that don't suck! Also at Walmart for $2!
Heartland Gluten Free Noodles. They are a corn and rice blend and taste exactly like I remember gluten noodles tasting. Added bonus they didn't clump up and turn to mush like gluten free noodles normally do for me.
I used them to make my mother in law's recipe for Beef Stroganoff. It made the DH very happy. So now I will share it with you.
1 Beef Sirloin steak, cut into 1/2 inch strips
2 Tbs oil
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion, chopped (DH finds this to be a bit much so I use a small onion)
1 large or 2 small bay leaves
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp pepper
Dash of allspice or cloves
1 cup sour cream
Noodles (I used fusli) egg noodles or Kluski
Brown meat with oil turning often until juices evaporate and meat is browned. Add the next nine ingredients along with 1- 1/2 cups hot water. Cover; simmer on low for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking. Do not allow all of the liquid to evaporate; add a little more water if needed. Remove bay leaves and garlic. Stir some of the hot juices into the sour cream, then add sour cream mixture to pot and blend. Serve over cooked noodles.
