Hang in there! Give the GF diet some time. Eventually, you'll get used to it. My husband has been GF for over 12 years and I've been the one reading the labels and preparing the food. Despite that "edge", I felt overwhelmed when I was diagnosed in March.

Not everyone is underweight here. My only CD symptoms were anemia and thyroiditis.

Don't give up on your self!! You can do it!! It will harm your body if you eat Gluten. Just take it easy!! Take a breath and enjoy new foods and recipes!! You are here with alot of ppl who are in the same boat!! Just relax and enjoy!! :) So what!! A lil reading!! You can do it!! You can look on line to see what you want b4 you go shopping. Easier than you think!!

I can totally relate to your frustrations. It has been less than a year since I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. About six years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia, and I tried to find out if there was a correlation but was told by the doctor that it doesn't matter because my leukemia isn't active. I now find that I catch every illness that is floating around. I have had two sinus infections and bronchitis in the last year and just caught the stomach bug on the day after Christmas. My father passed away in July and I ended up with pneumonia and bronchitis two weeks after he passed away. I have eaten gluten free since the diagnosis but feel that when I"m eating out, I cannot trust the food. As soon as I overeat, the stomach ache starts and I am running to the bathroom all day. I know that I overeat out of frustration and boredom but just feel helpless when I am sick most of the time.
