Maybe try a recipe for some kind of gluten free treat? I have to say though, it must be hard for you and I really think if she is keeping gluten free and has no other intolerances, she might have other issues besides celiac that is making her irritable. Maybe a calm heart to heart talk would help? I hope the situation improves for you all. Take care.

I can remember I was a little cranky when I first started to go GF, I could not find a bread I liked (I tried at least five), finally, I read on this sight about Kinnikinnick breads, they are the best I have had, it comes frozen, I like to toast it. Also, I have found Glutino's Duo cheese pizza to be good. I have tried so many gluten free products and have been unhappy with them. The Kinnikinnick products seem to be good, go to their web site www.Kinnikinnick.com and you should be able to check for a store near you or order them on-line. She can also eat potatoes, rice, fruits, veggies, meats, dairy, etc. You should have your Mom join us, there is always useful information here and she can ask about anything...........Good Luck! P.S. Have you been tested for Celiac Disease?

I tried to bake her something, but lets just say that my cooking skills aren't too flash! My Grandma makes some really nice GF brownies. I live in New Zealand and we don't have Kinnikinnick breads or Glutino's. She's had to change her diet lots. Yes i've been tested and my results were 17 (anything over 20 is possible) my uncles results were 22,000!!

Sorry, I thought you were from U.S., those two companies are in Canada and some stores here carry those items. I do not know what else might be offered to you, maybe someone else in your country will suggest something or check on-line for gluten free products....Good Luck!

That's ok. My mum gets a subsity from the Government for some food.

Your mother may still have some nutritional imbalances affecting her moods. It is a good idea for celiacs to adopt a daily vitamin regimin. I found adding vitamin E and a B complex helped me make the transition to a gf diet. That was nine years ago and I still take them every day, along with calcium. At first, I was also on a gf multi-vitamin with minerals (along with the other supplements). That helped tremendously with fatigue and mood. In other words, your mother may not be so upset about the gf diet as she is still suffering the effects of celiac disease.

Also, not everyone will agree with this, but I would recommend not trying to replace bread and bakery products at first. Go with naturally gf foods for awhile and then slowly add gf products. The gf diet introduces a lot of foods a person probably has not eaten before. It can be hard to separate reactions to those foods from the gluten intolerance and whatever lingering damage there may be.

Good luck!

MacGf. My mother takes vitamins. Before she was diagnosed with celiacs she actually only ate bread and fruit n veges so taking bread out of her diet would be too difficult. She's adjusting to gf diet now.

I always get moody after being glutened and I suffered from depression while undiagnosed. This is probably due to nutrient defficiencies. Plus remember she is probably suffering food greif as well. This is common its probably not you at all but her system is worn down from the lack of nutrients and disease combined with a life change. Give her time she'll calm down eventually.

Thanks DewingedPixie. She isn't actually low on any nutrients (her test results say) but she's still very short tempered. Hopefully you're right.
