emotional impact of celiac disease

[rm]

While there are obviously other things going on in a lot of these comments, it's worth reading. A lot of the stuff people describe applies to me, and a lot of it doesn't, but what strikes me the most is yes, how much harder I have to work to not be a fearful person now. And amazingly, I'm largely managing it.

I was very depressed last night because I wanted to eat a grilled cheese sandwich and couldn't. But my excruciating IBS seems to be gone, which is strange enough to be somewhat disturbing. My lower abdomen has been more or less hard for seven years or so, and it isn't, anymore-- it feels like a normal person's. I'm sure I'll be happy once I stop feeling freaked out.
