Whenever I'm not feeling my best, I start to re-evaluate the past week or so, looking at what foods I've eaten, what I've been doing, whether my thinking is in line with truth or falsehoods, and what I can do to lift myself up. Fortunately I'm a woman of faith, so I rely a lot on prayer, Bible, and faith. Always remember that tomorrow is another day. Be glad on good days, and look for how to improve bad days. And you always have the option of seeking out a counselor who will listen and help you through. Best wishes to you, flowerchild_13, for a better day tomorrow.

They don't get it. They will never get it. To them it is a simple "diet" that is easy to simply choose to follow. Some even claim that it is nothing but a darn nuisance. We have to just ignore them.

There are many reasons for still feeling lousy.
***if you are eating supposed GF processed foods, you could be getting enough gluten to remain ill. Try eating only fresh meat, veggies, and fruits for a couple months. That will give you some help.

At the same time, start a food diary. This is where you write date, time, day of week, food eaten with amount. And time/day of all symptoms. You might have some other food issues. A good doctor will look over this diary and be able to discover some insights. You might be able to pinpoint it yourself.

Yes, it is a darned nuisence. How can it not be? I am surprised.

People feel differently about things. Best not to talk about it to these people. Why bother?

There is no need.

Okay, if someone came into my shop and started laying down the law in such a fashion, I would very quickly invite her/him to leave.

Putting her down in my memory as one of those who diet with what ever, and enjoy the attention.

(they would be most welcome to comment - strongly) if there were adverse nut containing foods)

Now a guten free diet to me is nothing but a damned nuisence. I can not see, where it is not so.

No, some people will never get it. Why, well how long did it take for those who need a medically diagnosed gluten free diet to get used to gluten free food? So how can a lay person? Need to do some studying. Why would they want to?

Those with Celiac Disease are probally still getting used to it with the updates etc.

Anyway why bother?

I do not care one little bit if people get it or not. I do not see why that will be a problem for me.

This message is about people not understanding a gluten free diet, and therefore not knowing about it.

But another felt great annoyance was felt when she was asked about it at gatherings.

As Nanny1611 suggests a counselor will listen and help.
