In our village, we hear coeliac is a wheat allergy making people weak and small from not absorbing food. But my own body says something else, because the test was *nahi*, yet my bones ache and my energy is like a punctured *pheri*. The doctors in town say "no disease, no anaemia," but my own chappals know how often I must sit and rest. Sometimes, the reason for a thin body and tired heart is not in their papers, but in the soil and water we have always lived with.
