wow, all of these responses make me feel better! I'm understanding more and more each day that all I need is preparation and things are all good:) My partner is going through some of the same uncomfortable things I did before Celiac came into my world. I think he's allergic to lactose or dairy. Looks like we're gunna have some interesting pizzas from now on:)

Hi there,

Something kind of bizarre had happened to me since being on the diet. I figured out gluten was no good for me over 3 years ago and have been on the Celiac diet ever since. Before I wasn't attached to food. I never really thought about what my next meal was going to be or where I would be getting it from. Things were simple.

Since the Celiac discovery, it's like food is always on my mind. I'm constantly thinking (worrying) about my next meal. Scared that I will end up somewhere without any options for me...etc.. And it seems to be getting worse!

At first, I thought "Oh, I just like to cook, make up new recipes, experiment"...but now it's really starting to annoy me. I can't go a day without stressing about food on some level.

I feel so attached to food.

I get really nervous if I go somewhere without a snack in my purse or a scheduled meal in the near future. I've read that many Celiacs get anxiety about where and when there next meal will be, because we were conditioned in a way to go without proper food for periods of time when others can dine on anything available. But wow, I actually feel pretty isolated at the moment.

I'm wondering if there's anyone else who's suffered this strange post Celiac diagnosis to food??!!??

If so please share with me how to silence these fears!
