Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

Not having such a good day. I have been gluten free for a couple of months due to severe abdominal pain. When I can tolerate the diet and stay on top of it I am fine. This last weekend was bed, I can't seem to pick the right foods or ask the right questions so gluten has been sneaking in to my diet and I am in PAIN! The bigger promlem is my emotions I think I am going through withdrawls or depression or somthing because when it is time to eat i would just rather cry that go through the trouble of finding food that doesn't hurt me, I have done a lot of crying and it is just not like me. I hope that some of you have been through this and can tell me that this is normal and it will pass.

The crying thing I TOTALLY get. I cry every other day, it seems. Like others have said, there is a mourning process to get through, and that just takes time. Also I am terrified to put stuff in my mouth. My friend says that I look like an Anorexic when I eat. You know, warily poking food in my mouth? It's silly, and I can laugh, but it is also kind of true. I am suspect of everything I put in my mouth these days.
I have one thing to add to everyone else's excellent advice: don't forget to keep ingesting fiber, whether through veggies or pills(gluten free, of course!). I have a secondary diagnosis of IBS caused by Celiac, and the cure for that is also palative, or in other words, you can cure yourself by eating better.
I can't believe I'm telling someone to "eat their fruits and veggies!"
feel better, sweetie.

Start little, keep a food journal so you can backtrack and see what got you. Then you will be able to make better choices, decisions, or changes. Even journal for a couple of weeks you also see that you are getting more than you feel like you are being deprived of.
