    Haha thanks for the replies and support You are all so amazing. Unfortunately it was a one-day kind of thing... I was again taken to see a social worker and again my mother said that I had an eating disorder because I do not eat dairy gluten or soy, she was once again oddly hysterical about it... They partially believed her too. The social worker said...

    Hello This morning I caught a show called "The Incurables". It was about a girl retelling her struggles with bipolar disorder, psychotic episodes and major depression. She was very suicidal. In the end, she discovered she was dairy and soy intolerant and was able to go off of all of her meds after removing these foods. Very good show! I recorded...

    This actually makes me angry... How can we allow companies to cover something as pure as fruit and vegetable with this stuff..Ugh! Would organic produce not be waxed?? I wonder if there is a visual way to tell.. if only there was a comparable picture.. unwaxed VS. waxed. All lemons look waxy to me The lemons I've been using have been giving me the...

    Yes I have these too! The worst part is that the guilt follows me throughout the day. I always end up going "Oh god, I messed up this morning didn't I? Oh wait no... that was a dream" But I always have to remind myself that it was a dream. I think these dreams are extremely helpful little reminders of the dread we are trying to avoid with gluten. They...

    I had social anxiety and depression from an early age, if not forever. Well, I've been gluten/lactose/soy/etc. free for around 2 months, and after dropping out of high school from the anxiety last year, I have just begun to go back this month. I am unbelievably calm! Whenever I eat gluten, I get in this order...> Crazy anxiety, continues for aw eek>...

    My mother recently asked a doctor at the hospital if I could have a test done for gluten intolerance/celiac even though I have not eaten gluten for around 1-2 months now. He replied with "Yes, through a ttg, that that will show you whether you have celiacs even though you are on a gluten free diet" Thanks to him my mother is thoroughly perusaded that I...

    I'm still trying to figure out some of my childhood symptoms because there were so many, and one has me very curious. My knees wouldn't be able to buckle, so when I stood my knees would unbuckle and i'd have to catch myself and straighten them out again. Also, at night I would always do this thing where I would lie on my back before bed, put my arms...

    Ohh yes it's hard... Right there with you. My mom keeps threatening to send me to an "eating disorder clinic". She takes me to the emergency room and tries to persuade the doctors that I have an eating disorder because I do not eat gluten and lactose. Because I'm self diagnosed and too late for testing... they seem to be on her side. Quite a hard place...

    I've never been one to have willpower but I understand the importance. Unfortunately food used to be my means of self harm and those ways of thinking creep back sometimes... A lot of the time it's because I start thinking that I could be making it all up (my family tells me every day I am even though I know I am not) leading me to think 'maybe I should...

    I think it is partly deficiencies and partly withdrawal I was feeling SO tired today, I slept 11 hours and then took a nap and then just stayed in bed all day and then I had a sudden urge to "cheat", lucky I only cheated with nightshades and nothing worse like gluten or lactose so I have minor symptoms. But most of my fatigue is gone. Which leads me to...

    I had them checked a month ago, they said all was fine. I wasn't feeling as bad at that time, maybe I should go again

    how frustrating! I've never taken a chance with popcorn because, well, I can't have corn. Hope you've taken some time off to relax and nurture the body, things will look up in time hang in there

    Think i'm around 3 weeks free of gluten (without cheats) and 1 month if including cheats (I cheated 3 weeks ago) The first week I felt better than any other time in my life, energetic, was running a lot, getting things done and picking things up that I had dropped. Now it's been about 2 weeks where I am unenergized and depressed. It's not the same kind...

    Thanks guys How cheap is quinoa/amaranth? I'm currently in a money situation, but i'll look into that I had sweetpotatoes and yams for lunch and with no ill effects yay! All this time thinking they were a nightshade. Also will try turkey

    I originally thought I only had problems with gluten, lactose, eggs, soy, corn, nightshades, and potatoes (wait, are potatoes nightshades??) As time progressed, I gradually started having symptoms (less extreme, but nonetheless, obvious and lurking symptoms) with all types of sugar (including fructose), fish, chicken, and any grains including rice. I...

    Wow, I seem to have a lot of troubles. First of all let me catch you up on some things My younger sister, the one who is suicidal, agreed to try a gluten free diet tomorrow! So that's great The trouble is now me. I have gone back to gluten eggs and dairy, and now it is me that is starting to feel extremely depressed/in pain again. I can't seem...

    rockect, usually it's wine. Lately cointreau. Normally wine. Other than sulfites, which I know I am sensitive to, I don't think any of these two things have gluten. Karen, my mom is a regular drinker. She leaves bottles out at night before she goes to bed. Make sure to put those bottles away I'm also lactose =[ so unless I find lactose free chocolate...

    I'm wondering if anybody is struggling with something similar. Technically, we've all practiced addiction since childhood. Since going gluten free I've been turning to alcohol daily to replace that feeling of 'losing yourself', if you know what I mean. I don't know how to break this. And I don't think it's a healthy habit, especially at 17 years old. It...

    You know that heavy, sweaty, dehydrated feeling that one gets in their lower stomach area when one falls asleep on a meal of fat/oil, or gluten? I ate gluten a day and a half ago. It's keeping me up and It's really bad. I've never had it for days straight before. Is there anyway to soothe it or do I just have to ride it out?

    Hey, I've been through something similar, too. I've had severe social anxiety so that i've been housebound for the last year. Dropped out of highschool, stopped going outside. I have been one month gluten free, and suddenly I have signed myself up for going back to school, an anxiety support group, to hang out with a friend AND to volunteer. I'm not sure...

    Ok, I cooked half of the things I ate today, but still love my raw foods. You were right, actually. They were pretty hard to digest when my tummy was in that much trouble. Skylark, fish oils seemed to help pretty well. Thanks for the tips. Either that, or just flush the pot down the toilet! =O I think this might be the way I'm going to go I think the...

    I suppose this was the inevitable. The perfect reminder of why not to ever eat gluten/lactose again. This is my first reaction, or contamination, during a period of being gluten free so I am quite afraid, I had forgotten how it feels to feel this sickly. Thanks for the little tips. I'll eat as raw as I can tomorrow to satisfy the need for digestive enzymes...

    I had gone a month without gluten, lactose, soy, nightshades, eggs, all that jazz. And then tonight I smoked some pot (BIG FREAKING MISTAKE PEOPLE) and found myself just shoveling everything gluten I could find into my mouth!!!! I am so terrified for this very fast and extreme seeming reaction... I just made this thread basically to complain while I'm going...

    Good idea, I hadn't thought about contacting the therapist. I see the same therapist, so I know her well. i'm supposed to see her in the next few days, I don't think that would be waiting too long.
  25. revenant
    My mom does know about it all, she is seeing therapists and a suicide counselor. My father isn't in the picture. She is very shy about her suicidal thoughts and it is hard to know when they are worse, but generally lately the thoughts of self harm have been. Edit: having reread your post, I didn't supply enough information. My mom does not know about the...
