AW - What the actual fucking fuck?

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry. I also have celiac's, so if you have any questions I'm here for you. It really sucks to get used to but it's not so bad once you find things you can eat. Good luck.

[cnf2013]

I'm so sorry. I don't know what I would do without gluten. I'm a carboholic for sure. I just want to send you all the hugs right now. Hang in there

[joy]

::hugs:: It'll be okay. There are SO many options for people who want to eat gluten-free these days. I know that's not totally comforting, but you have more options than salad.

::hugs:: again

MH has Celiacs and its a huge adjustment. But know that it gets easier and there are way more options now. If you have questions on some of the better substitutes I'm happy to help. There was so much trial and error at first and it sucks big time to spend an arm and a leg on a gluten free product just to find out that it tastes like cardboard.

It's not stupid to cry over. It sucks having to give up anything that you like and have to change your routine so much. I'm sorry.

[ohinvrtedworld]

It's not stupid to cry over. It sucks having to give up anything that you like so much and are used to eating, and have to change your routine so much. I'm sorry.

[mishy2010]

I'm sorry you've been given frustrating news. I don't have experience with celiacs but I hope those with similar conditions can give you some new recipes to try.

[lovegrilledcheese]

Are you going to have an intestinal biopsy to confirm Celiac? I am so sorry about the diagnosis. I was diagnosed with a blood test and biopsy 10 years ago. On a plus the gf options have drastically improved the past few years. Sending lots of hugs

[Rama]

*hugs* @wineandcupcakes. It's absolutely not stupid to cry, this is some big news and it caught you off guard.

[juliayadda]

Hugs. My mommy was diagnosed back in 91. I have to say the world of gluten free has changed a lot since then. Pamela's brand of baking products are great for when you are craving pancakes, or chocolate cake. I have served these products to many folk who couldnt taste the difference.

My mom told me back in the day she ended up not missing to food as much as she didnt miss feeling sick all the time.

Hugs again though. This is a huge change to your life.

[getzystark]

FUCK! Cry it out!!

I am so sorry. I'd be pissed too. Like PPs have said, luckily there are a lot of gluten free foods now and you'll figure out a way with your PKU too.

[GoBigOrGoGnome]

Ugh that sucks, I'm so sorry. Don't feel silly about crying, I would be crying too! Hugs.

[kasaundrar]

I'm so sorry!

[michelleca]

I'm sorry! I'd be crying too. That really sucks. If there is a bright side, being gluten-free is pretty "in" right now, so people with celiacs have more options than ever. I hope you can enjoy experimenting making your favourites gluten free.

[mlgnumbers]

Oh, @wineandcupcakes, I am so sorry to hear this news. Please don't apologize and try to minimize your grief by saying "I know there are worse things." That might be true, but this is your new reality, and, even if it's not as bad as other people's reality, it still sucks for you. You're allowed to cry...and bitch...and whine. It will take a lot of adjustment and getting used to. Thankfully, there are a million resources out there for GF and other diet restrictions these days. I hope you're able to find a lot of support here, as well. GL with everything. We're here for you!

[icequeen]

Don't cry. It will be ok! There are lots of great options for Celiacs. I know there are some things that are irreplaceable, but it could be worse. Some people are more gluten intolerant than others, so there is still some hope that maybe you can eat some gluten and feel relatively ok. I'm sorry

[MrsC0617]

I'm so sorry, that's so disappointing. I second joy though... There are a lot of options for people with celiac these day. Hugs for you!

[onyx]

I don't have any experience with celiac, but thoughts and prayers your way! Maybe you can find some nifty alternatives on pinterest? Best of luck to you.

[cakewench]

It's OK to cry it out, that's a lot of news at once! As PPs said, there are tons more options out there now for Celiacs (my grandma was Celiac, the only thing that really upset her was she couldn't eat Godiva anymore!). Everything will be ok. Sending creeper internet hugs!

[LadyNymeria]

((hugs)) @wineandcupcakes. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Either restriction on it's own would be enough of a pain, but that has to be more frustrating to have both. At least for the celiac, there are more and more gluten-free options all the time. It's just about finding what you like.

[fallbaby11]

I am sorry, that sucks!! I hope you can find some foods that you can have that are also tasty.

[diamondsndaisies]

I'm sorry for the bad news, I would be crying too if I were you. Giving up comfort foods is seriously hard. I don't have experience with celiac but I don't blame you for being upset.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

I love food and would be upset too. I'm sorry to hear your Dx. It's perfectly acceptable to cry your eyes out. Drink all the wine! Eat all the cupcakes!

[moutonrouge]

Creepy internet stranger hugs - I'd be really upset, too. Maybe you can meet with a nutritionist to help with the PKU piece?

[jtizzay]

I'm sorry. That just sucks ;(

[achromia]

I'm sorry you had to receive so much frustrating news in one day. Don't feel bad about crying- that sucks! I hope eventually you are able to find some new favorite foods that are okay to eat. ((hugs)) I guarantee you can count on the ladies here to help you find recipes.

[mrsh82414]

Hugs, Hugs, and more Hugs!!!  I hear you on being upset. I would be too. I LOVE PASTA and Mexican. At least the gluten movement created a large market for gluten free everything! the protein is also a huge bummer. How limited are you on that? I mean you have to have some protein as it is the building block of your amino acids, but depending on the level that can be extremely limiting.

[wowcheezits]

I'm so sorry. That's really shitty. I hope things get better for you soon and know that you are among friends here. ((((HUGS)))) to you.

[teenybenoit]

I have gluten intolerance which basically causes inflammation to my body and in particular to my lady bits. So in order to have been able to have sex again which was kinda necessary since I love my hubby and want to have a baby, I had to give up all gluten.
It was hard at first because I am type 2 diabetic and a lot of gluten free products seem to have a higher carb count.
I've recently gone low carb high fat which is working out pretty damn great.
I'm sorry you are going through this. If you need any info or recipes or food ideas feel free to pm me. Hugs

[westisleflower]

I'm so sorry. Cry it out girl!
