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 do know some celiacs who are heavy. Does she tend to have eally extreme food cravings? Not weird, just intense? I ask because until i stoped eating wheat I suffered from that CONSTANTLY, and then once I stopped and was able to get nutrients better I ate a lot more normally.

Umm...yeah I'd say so. I mean not all the time but it happens. She plans on mentioning it to her doctor when she speaks to him next.
