Geeze guys, I didn't mean to start a fight. I was a little annoyed when I first read the post, but I didn't want anyone to be banned or anything. Just a misunderstanding. I think my mom is coming along and will get there eventually. I talked to her about withdrawal yesteray on the phone and she said that made sense. Also, since she is avoiding most...

This is the problem with abusive people....they just don't see that what they are doing is wrong. It's like they have no empathy. And that's why some of them never get better, and certainly why you can't count on the situation to just resolve itself. My husband tells stories about his dad, like how they would be driving home from school and they would...

I understand that your situation is complicated and personal, and no one on a message board is going to be able to even approach understanding it all...but I would like to tell you a few things. Firstly, concerning your daughter. Every 2 year old loves her parents (ie, the people she lives with and spends time with). It's biologically programmed in,...

I have an interesting take on this because I started gluten-free about a month into a sort of career change...and while celiac isn't the reason I changed, I think the timing was great. Before I was in a grad program in engineering and I'd been working for the same guy for 7 years and I felt bad about it because he was a great boss and I had been a good employee...

That's a very good idea. I think, personally, it took about 3 weeks for me to get over withdrawal. During that time I was absolutely exhausted and crabby (even though it felt very different than fatigue on gluten, mostly because I was actually able to sleep). And, like you say, I was not eating particularly healthy...not only did I eat a lot of gluten...

Thank you to the nice responses, that is sort of what I thought. To the others, just to be clear, I have not and am not planning on purposly eating any gluten containing product, even if my doctor wants me to in order to obtain an "official" diagnosis. I have messed about 6-8 times, as I am sure most of you did in your first few months on the diet,...

I've been gluten-free for about 4 months now. I started because my maternal uncle has similar health problems as me and got a lot better when he went gluten free. I have chronic fatigue and joint pain, among other things, when eating gluten, with little to no intestinal problems. I miss gluten, but I LOVE feeling better. The fact that an accidental glutening...
