    Well been off gluten for almost 2 months now... and guess what? I'm in no mood to continue. My general attitude towards everyone is bad going to worse. So I've taken a step in keeping my sanity in check: Back to the food I love. Unless my children are diagnosed with Coeliac, I'm sticking to my decision. I've lived with the pain most of my life, I can...

    Well the doc that gave me the news not long ago told me many of his patients suffer from various degrees of depression when going cold turkey... But everyone is different and unique. Getting a second toaster is a good start. Get rid of the obvious cross contamination... toaster or toaster-oven, cutting board, that pot of peanut butter with bread crumbs...

    Sorry to hear it, I was hit with the news only a week ago, and like you I've probably had it most of my life. The best thing I can tell you right now, is research research and more research. Depending on how sensitive you are to gluten, I would suggest (remember this is just me, others may not agree) going off the gluten foods gradually. I've been off the...

    WhenDee... you just described what I'm feeling, minus that last part of things passing. lol

    I'd go with Jestgar on this one. One last whoraw... Enjoy the day, enjoy the family and friends... eat the food. As for being diagnosed with celiac disease, well: Welcome to the club, the one you never wanted to join. [man i love that quote]

    Happy to see you have a sense of humour. I don't know how you do it. Keep at it

    I hear ya... guess I'm feeling something similar, losing the normality, the night outs. Got my biopsy results just 8 days ago, and I'm already going crazy. The prospect of no longer being able to eat out etc etc etc. Well I'm happy you stuck with the diet so long. I got a feeling I won't be as lucky

    Wow..man maybe I'll finally get rid of that third arm.

    Jeez... I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but I do enjoy it from time to time. And yes, it seems that US and CAN foods aren't automatically the same. That goes for distribution/manufacturing of products. For example, Kellogg's Gluten Free Rice Krispies. According to an email I got, there's no market for it up here so they won't make it available. So in keeping...

    You know during an interview at some point they usually say "Do you have any questions?" I would mention your condition then. No safer time seeing the floor is open to you...

    As far as help from the Canadian gov. there's not much there besides a tax credit for gluten-free foods. Doesn't mean they don't help, but I haven't found much at the moment. I did however signup to the Quebec Association for celiac disease, should be getting a few books and info on how to cope, live etc etc etc. All this research is overwhelming I must...

    That's why I wrote in "for what it's worth". But I'm not surprised. IMO, it comes down to the priest. My cousin's a priest, and he sees no problem with a gluten free alternative. Which is why I think a good long intelligent conversation with your priest/pastor/<insert name here> is something that needs to be done. If he/her won't agree, go see his...

    Holy cow... thanks for all the great replies. I actually laughed today, which is something I haven't been doing much these days. Guess I have lots to learn, although I know I'm not alone in this. Nice to be able to communicate with other living with this condition. Knowing that what I'm feeling (depressed, sense of morning) is normal. I'll try...

    ROFL Good one. Thanks guys. I'm well aware of all the good that will come out of all this. Just I guess the first few months will be difficult. Also need to get my kids checked, which is making feel bad. I know if one (or both) test positive it won't be "my fault", but I know myself well enough that'll be kicking myself for it. I'll go thru the forum...

    Here's a snip from Wikipedia (for what it's worth) Open Original Shared Link As others have just said, I go higher up the chain of command. Good luck.

    Hello, first time poster here. Wanted to introduce myself, I have a feeling I'll be visiting this site a lot in the coming months. I'm 35 and was diagnosed with Coeliac 7 days ago (July 6th 2011). For years, my parents would say most of my life, I've been having all those symptoms related to this disease. For years I was going to see doctors (on average...
