<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The "swful diet" feelings, whether it is for celiac or diabetes or heart diease or whatever is a natural occurence. It is part of the process of learning ro accept that we are not perfect, that we are mortal and that we are not in total control of our lives. If you will, it is akin to a "mourning period" where we must make mental adjustments before we go one and tackle the real problems. Psychologically, the mind "shuts down" amd does not immediately accept horrible truths all at once. You often hear this after a tragedy occurs when people will say that "it hasn't sunk in". Exaclty right. So, people may scream and stamp and rail against the diet and eventually, hopefully, as they adjust to the diagnosis, they will begin to accept that the diet is not a bad thing, nor is it awful. It just is. Ann
