ARCHIVED Are There Any Books You Would Recommend?
miup2l8 replied to Killarney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
After I found this website and wanting to know if I also had this problem, I read two books - "A Personal Touch On....Celiac Disease" and "Gluten-Free Diet - A Comprehensive Resource Guid" The first book is a compilation of different persons experiences with Celiac Disease and how they found out they had it , what their lives were like before they were... -
I had to laugh at Astyanax's comments because I always get comments like "Oh, can you eat that?" while I'm eating it ! I am very tempted to respond "NO!" when asked that just to see what they'd say next but I try to be polite and respond with "I can eat anything you can - as long as it doesn't contain wheat, rye, barley or oats".

Hi - I seem to have had the same problem about getting diagnosed....my (ex)dr who is a gastroenterologist, basically said - "you're not losing weight so I wouldn't worry about it too much!

Hi - I'm new at this too and I too have dealt with and am presently seeing a counselor for, depression. Now that I'm working to get myself off all the gluten, I think my mood has gotten better and I'm beginning to think that the symptoms of the illness was what was keeping my so depressed.

Hi Angel - I was soooo glad to read your story as I too have gone undiagnosed for so long that I'm not even sure how I should feel once I get better! My last doctor, a gastroenterologist, by the way, summed up my symptoms this way - "well, you're not losing weight so I wouldn't worry too much!" Helpful, huh? Anyway, my mother was the one who suggested...
