<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmembers, Thank you for all your posts on my recent post about CD and depression. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of you got my point. I was diagnosed a year ago. I have frequent bowel and stomach attacks which come right out of the blue even though I stay strictly GF and make all my own food, using nothing prepared. Yes, it is depressing when you can't even plan to take your son to the park if there is no bathroom there. I was extremely offended by one poster's line, "Aren't you just feeling sorry for yourself?" I am not saying that I am not thrilled not to have a disease that can supposedly be cured by diet, but a lot of us have developed serious problems from CD, and , they can be depressing. I am in no way discounting any link between serotonin going to the gut instead of the brain or any biological connection. I was just stating that I think that some of us, and some of you have agreed with me, do get depressed from the limited diet, the travel restrictions, and the comments from others, that some of us having CD face, I didn't necessarily mean to the point of needing Prozac! Others have stated that they eat better now, cook more, etc., but we are all different. I didn't appreciate some of the criticism that I got from some of you. I have said many times that I really appreciate this list and people are all entitled to their own opinions. Thank you. Karen from Central, NY USA
