Broken Diet Over Last Year

[louie]

I'm glad that I found this site as I need a bit of support at the moment. I was diagnosed celiac almost 6 years ago and was very sick at the time.

I stuck to my diet 100%, went to uni ( against my doctors advice, he said I was too sick!) as a first time mature age student, got well,and now have a whole new career which I just love !!

The problem is about 12 months ago I broke my diet and then very gradually I started to sneak a bit of food with gluten in it occaisionally and recently Ive' been doing this almost daily.

As you would expect I am getting really sick again and I'm really angry at myself for allowing this to happen, expecially as I was someone who was really particular about sticking to my diet.

So basically after waking up with terrible stomach cramps just now I decided this is it! it stops right now! and I went online looking for somewhere to get a bit of moral support.

I'm looking forward to to staring to feel well again and hope to be able to contribute something positive to the forums

cheers Louie

I'm sorry you're not feeling well It's easy to forget how sick gluten can make us when we are healthy. I got a little sloppy myself around the house not too long ago by not labeling my stuff gluten-free and by being less careful about cleaning. I got sick around that time and it was probably because of my sloppiness.

welcome to the board, hope you find the support you need here!

I have been gluten-free for over two years, and lately I've been a little less careful about dining out and in the past month have had at least 2 instances of being glutened. I was very angry at myself and am still having to deal with the physical repercussions of not being as vigilant with my diet. I'm with you, this has got to stop now. I've got to stop being so careless and pay more attention. I need to plan ahead better and not get stuck in Chattanooga TN with my only choice for a potentially safe meal being a Chili's and despite great service and effort still getting ill for days... LOL!!! (Just the most recent example!)
