Hello Diamonds

Welcome to the forum.

I am so sorry to read that you are struggling.

Can you tell us a bit more about your story - how long ago you were diagnosed, and what sort of support you have had in the past from the medical profession, friends and family in your coeliac journey?  

Some find it easier than others to stick to the diet, but we're here to help.

Diamonds,

Eating gluten free doesn't have to be expensive unless you insist on buying a lot of already made gluten free food products such as pizzas, frozen dinners and snacks. If you will focus on consuming things that are fresh, simple and naturally gluten free it is not much more expensive at all. Focus on fresh meats, fruits, vegetables and eggs and cooking for yourself. If you make things with noodles you will need to buy gluten-free noodles and if your eat sandwiches you will likely need to purchase gluten free bread unless you bake it yourself. It takes a little more effort and it's more restrictive but you can eat gluten free rather economically. And avoid eating out at all costs. You have no control over cross contamination when you dine out.
