Can't you explain to your friends, that even though you ate bread before, you shouldn't have, that you just didn't know it? That eating bread makes you sick! And now that you know what makes you feel bad, wouldn't they want you to feel better too, by avoiding what is poison for you?

I really don't understand why some people don't believe us. Your friends are supposed to care about you! Some of my family isn't very understanding, but fortunately my friends care a lot, and believe me. I guess it sucks when they don't.

I hope you'll either convince your friends soon, or make new ones who believe you, and want what's best for you.

Yeah it can be tough. Some people don't believe me either. People are weird If someone gets diagnosed with diabetes, and they suddenly can't eat sugar, nobody's going to tell them they should eat sugar now just becasue they did before. Tell your friends it's kinda like that. You should also make them some really yummy gluten-free cupcakes or brownies, so they can see that your food is good and not really that weird or different.

Welcome to the boards!

Well, can't help you with finding folks in Utah, but, let's discuss your friend issue. Personally, if that was me, I would mostly likely reply, "Well, I guess you don't have a headache because you weren't hurting before. Or, guess you don't have asthma because you could breathe just fine before" But, it would probably be good to take it on a nicer note Anyway, it's important that people you come in contact understand you can't consume gluten and that it is very harmful to you. Maybe your parents can convince them? Hope whatever best for you works out. =)

If you need anything, give me a PM!

Last summer I worked in Utah for my uncle, who gives tours through the Escelante Canyon area, and I started having gluten problems out there. It took me about half a year to figure out what it was, and I turned into a stick! Utah is great, and I am sorry you're having friend problems. Losers. It isn't that hard to understand. Wish I could eat lunch with you! It is so hard to eat lunch watching everyone eat lasagna and pasta and ketchup.....
