Glutenismylife

Thanks very much everyone

Thanks very much for all of your input.  Since I first posted this things have gotten a little easier.  Bakery items is one of my most favorite things that I am missing.  I would love some recipes  And no I am not trolling lol

Yes I know you are correct I just think I'm in denial and that it could lead to worse issues.  In my head I keep thinking if I never went to the doctor for the mysterious rash I never would have known I had celiacs to begin with and would still be eating those Foods.  Stupid I know I'm just having a hard time with this especially since I don't like a lot of foods that are gluten-free naturally

Thanks for your replies.  Already had my intestines ruptured and had emergency surgery about 8 yrs ago due to diverticulitis.  

Yes I'm sure my diet is gluten free.... Been discussed with my doctor. I barely eat out due to CC. 

My friends have chosen not to invite me out because of my issues.   I can't blame them.  I don't even enjoy going out any place with them because it's torture watching them eat all the foods that I cannot eat while I sit there eating a gross protein bar or worse vegetables lol. 

All of my blood work has come back normal I do not have any deficiency issues.  

I do not enjoy vegetables and I do not enjoy eating food without flavor I would prefer to just not eat.  I have tried to eat that kind of stuff and I gag and end up not eating. 

I just don't understand why I should be eating eating gluten-free if I'm not having any symptoms.  I honestly believe my joint pain is caused by other things.  It seems as though I would prefer to live my life happily eating the foods I enjoy and may be dying a little quicker rather than being miserable my entire life and having to live longer with my miserable life.  

I was diagnosed with celiacs disease last year by blood test and endoscopy.   I was originally trying to find out why I kept getting these mysterious rashes..... Which led to the diagnosis of celiacs however that is not the causes of my rashes, go figure.  I have read through all of the symptoms of celiacs and as I do have joint pain and allergies, anxiety and depression, some bloating, I was never bothered by them before I was diagnosed.  Since going gluten-free for about a year now all of the symptoms have gotten worse.  I am more depressed.... And have been in physical therapy all year for different joint pains.  So I'm not seeing any Improvement at all.  If I never went to the doctors to find out what the rash was for in the first place I would have never found out about celiacs disease.  So my question is what is the point of going gluten-free if I never have symptoms that I haven't learned to deal with to begin with.  It's only causing me more depression anxiety and causing me to eat more sugar because it's the only thing I can find I can eat.  Help!  

I have been excluded from invitations to go out with friends.  If I make plans to go anywhere I have to research to find out if I can eat there or where I'll be able to eat.  My life is now revolving around eating and cooking and preparing my food.   Right now I'd much rather live a happy life I don't care if I died 10 years earlier.
