-I so Do understand what you're going through. I think that the only
EASY thing is the clarity that comes when you realize what celiac
does to your body. Then you can look at what you can eat and stop
feeling sorry for what you cannot. You can look at it in all truth.
The truth that by adjusting your life and eating to LIVE you are
loving yourself and the only body that you will ever have. You are
also loving your family and friends in that you will be around and be
healthy. I, at this point, have had it so long that everything I eat
hurts me. My looks changed drastically as did my health. First came
celiac and caused thyroid disease and adrenal disease. Adhering to a
diet to LIVE can only make you and your life better. Sandy
