The Psychological Impact of Celiac Disease
Juliem commented on Kit Kellison's article in Autumn 2010 Issue
Hi there, sounds like you're managing the celiac disease & travel gig quite well. I notice you say "we" though. I'm on my own now, my so called friends got sick of me and my illnesses. But my main gripe is not the food issue, it's the fact I can't travel at all now due to associated illnesses (FM, neuropathy, DH). I barely make it up one aisle of the... -

Just when you think it maybe safe to venture out again, whammo, here's another ingredient to be put on the no-no list. Does anybody else have vivid dreams of eating... -
This is me, exactly! I thought, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease 4 yrs ago, that I would simply adhere to gluten-free diet and all would be well again. Not so. Mind, I'm 59 this year, so to be finally diagnosed was a relief but alas the permanent damage being peripheral neuropathy and now fibro myalgia leaves me with severe chronic pain. I've...

ARCHIVED If you could correct one misconception about celiac, what would it be?
Juliem replied to Jmg's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
All the above plus, "oh, so you can't eat bread". And being oblivious to undiagnosed celiac disease causing myriad organ/nerve damage.
