I just want to bring what I lived with, after being diagnosed.
I dont judge those who havent the same experience.
First, I have been extremely relieved to know what I had and that the
cure was only a diet. I have known many people with cancer, Parkinson,
multiple sclerosis, etc... who would have trade my illness gladly.
I have been happily surprised when I have known about the diet and that
I can eat almost any dish, providing that you use the GF ingredients. I
was expecting much worse, more restrictive.
We were eating out a lot, what we dont (or almost) anymore. Too
complicated. But I have now the energy to cook wonderful dishes, better
than average non celiac household.
My husband has adapted and thinks it is a small price to pay for not
loosing me, what he thouth before the drs found out what I had.
My friends took the time to inform and cook GF when we meet, what is
fairly rare.
I'm lucky in many ways, I the owner of 5 restaurants and an other
company. I can buy products wholesale.
I'm restricted in the menu of the Italian one, and cant eat at all at
the 4 fast food ones.
I cant taste and sample food I sell anymore. Have to rely on others.
If I had the choice, I would prefer not to have CD but I dont and it is
sterile thought. So, I make do with what I have.
Just hope I can help someone. I learned very long ago we make our
happiness ourselve. It is just a way of thinking. Like the glass half
full or half empty.
Good luck to all, and excuse my English errors,
Mireille, Waterloo Que, Canada.
