I am frustrated in dealing with people who insist i am following a "fad diet". I have diagnozed Celiac Disease and struggle with it daily! I am sincerely frustrated that i cannot get people to understand that even "sensitivity" can be real issues and lead to Celiacs.
I also struggle with the emotional and dietary problems of goind places and taking my own food and friends/relatives/ect getting upset i wont eat THEIR food. Or I constantly have to explain that fried foods are NOT ok, even potatoes becasue of cross contamination.
"It's a fad" "arent you going to feel silly when the fad goes away" or get this, the audacity for someone to say its all in my head! Above all, the complete confusion of the reality it is NOT an allergy, but like a poison to the system. I have gotten so much advice of "just take zyrtec" for it, and eat what you want. LOL
Explaining the aches and pains, the mind fog and so many other side effects is NOT pleasing! People just don't get it.
