First Thoughts

Well, I am new to all this gluten free stuff. It is a little overwhelming. No, a lot overwhelming. I got my results from enterolab back on 2/27/07. I have been reading up on this and trying to decide what foods will be safe to eat. Was feeling pretty confident until I learned I am also casein sensitive. That throws a wrench into things. I LOVE cheese. Milk not so much or butter. But I know there is hidden milk in a lot of products. I am going "home" in a week, and can't ask my sister to do special things food wise when even I don't know what I am doing yet. And I am going to the doc end of March for a follow up appt. don't know if I'll even tell him about these results. But if I do and he wants to do blood test, I shouldn't give up gluten first. Why is this so hard? I believe after I actually start this new way of life (not a diet) it will be much easier than I am making it out to be right now. :(

Just think positively and hang in there. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease over three years ago and just started following a gluten-free diet only two months ago. I didn't want to make the changes necessary when I first learned that I had the disease. I've finally come to realize that it is very important to follow the diet, as numerous medical problems can arise if not. It's still tough some days for me, but it honestly does get easier (picking foods, finding restaurants to eat at, etc.) with time. It really is a lifestyle change...but a great change. You'll feel great after a couple of months, and it's so healthy for your body. Avoiding gluten narrows your options so greatly that you can't do anything but eat healthy all the time. :) Hang in there!
