    It's true, most people won't have severe issues from continuing to eat gluten. The only trouble is, if you are one who does, the damage caused may be irreversible. It's a risk, but it's your risk, and you need to decide what's most appropriate for you.

    Do they feel different when you walk? How much support do they have?

    Other than these you mean......?

    but such a pleasant devil.....*sigh*

    I think this is hard for a number of reasons, all of them having to do with this being a screen of typing and not face to face contact. It's difficult to know if someone is meaning to be harsh, or just trying to be firm. I think it's also hard to accept that we have to take responsibility for ourselves, and someone telling you this may just make you...

    <snort> Seriously though, I'm a biochemist and nominally in charge of our lab (not really that structured to be really in charge) so it is possible to be a mess and be successful. I have piles on my desk. I have folders on my computer that are basically "current" and the files get moved to their appropriate folders when I've finished with them...

    Ask ask ask. It is overwhelming at first, but really, it does get easier.

    OK, I'm not a teen, and I'm not diagnosed with anything, but I am organizationally challenged. The only way I can keep track of anything is by always putting it in the same place. Always. If I set something down in the wrong place it may be lost for days. I organize by piles.

    I have not forgotten. What I have learned is that people respond differently to different suggestions, and for some, stating the simple truth is what finally convinces them that their health is under their control. You choose what to eat. Period. You can choose to be ill or not. Period.

    It really does get easier. Many people find that eating whole foods (meat, veggies, fruit) is the best option for them. Try to just avoid packaged food for a while, if you can, and maybe try one packaged food a week. You will find out which convenience foods work for you and which don't. Once you have your 'go-to' list shopping becomes much less stressful...

    I am in a delightful mood. Have yet to really start studying, but I'll review everything today so tomorrow can be focused. Plan on a good hour of weightlifting tonight, did my hour of cardio this morning ate about two pounds of chocolate yesterday /uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png alt=':ph34r:'> and am feeling quite virtuous or on a huge sugar high...

    I'm not being mean, I'm telling you that your life is under your control. You can choose to feel ill for a bowl of cereal, or you can choose to eat a handful of nuts and feel well. It's entirely up to you.

    Eating gluten-free is a choice. If a bowl of cereal is worth feeling as you do, then how can any of us change your mind?

    Seriously. Just tell her to take off her glasses....
  16. Jestgar
    Maybe tell us what you're eating (brands included). There might be something that others have found is a problem.

    Everyone has one, and only you, and the mods can see it.

    OK my lovelies. Discovered that my indecision in choosing a lime juice resulted in ni lime juice at all so I've added extra citronge to the margarita and it is now extra fabulous. I am halfway through one, and having consumed nothing but 6 peanutbutter cups (they were the small ones ) since about 2 pm I find myself feeling warm and snuggly. Loquacious...

    I forgot about this Have fun playing mom again.

    Gads shroomie! You just reminded how complex this whole thing can be . David, some people find that giving up gluten unmasks symptoms caused by other foods. Follow Neroli's suggestions by all means, but also keep an eye on which other major allergens you're eating (casein, corn, soy, eggs). Consider keeping a food diary to find out if there is something...

    A week shouldn't affect the results.
  24. Jestgar
    great. Funny how I believe you, an anonymous being I have never seen, when it comes to questioning medical results. <insert rant on health care system and medical education shortcomings>
