Dear Janice -
In response to your note on the celiac listserv, I can relate.  Upon
diagnosis, I found myself depressed and talking to a professional.  It
helped.  I too am carrying around a few extra pounds, yet am extremely
healthy and gluten-free for life.  Do you have a source of Vitamin B (6 & 12)
in your diet?  Supplements, brown rice, etc.  Satisfy that misleading hunger
feeling with another activity.  Yes, easier said than done.  But quite
possible.  Food is only 1 percent of life.  As for the antidepressants, I
highly doubt that will last forever.  Side effects of Zoloft?  If you feel
comfortable, e-mail me and we'll chat.  I'm celiac, a triathlete, have a
degree in nutritional science and am completing a Master's in Counseling
Psychology.
