<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Folks, I am the person with CD, and despite a gf diet my gut is still not working great - you've all been very helpful with suggestions on this and supportive. Thank you. However, right now, the only thing fashionable about me is my weight, and that's more fashionable than healthy. I'm also tracking food intake, trying to figure out what causing the remaining problems. I also have an eight year old daughter - a bright, strong-willed perfectionist, and compulsive tendencies are on both sides of the family. Although now she is a naturally slender devotee of desserts, eating disorders are rampant now and I can't help worrying that she will take my current weight and behavior as a role model rather than an attempt to cope with physical illness. Yet I don't want to emphasize my health problems - an eight year old has a right to expect mom to at least pretend to be healthy. How did other mothers of daughters, young children, manage this?
