Feeling a strong hatred
I have to make a confession and I am hoping someone out there has been where I am right now. I was diagnosed with celiac disease about a month ago and ever since I have slowly began to hate food. It has gotten to the point this weekend that the I told my husband that I didn't want to go shopping and was almost in tears doing so. I hate new way they want me to live. I am now making 3 seperate menus everyday and I can't stand it. I have went into auto mode the past month I haven't been close to my calorie goal each day but still working out as hard as I did before. Then i am battling exhaustion I am ready for bed at 6pm everynight and then i sleep till 6 am each morning. I was never this miserable before and I am so ready to go back to a normal diet. I mean I use to love to cook and share my food with others, making a meal for my family was the highlight of my day and now I can't stand it. To bake with gluten free products so expensive and time consuming. I made pumkin bars a regular batch and a gluten free batch is the gluten free batch took me well over an hour to make. I was so frustrated by the time I was done i was almost in tears I just wanted pumkin bars. I use to love food a little to much and now I can't stand it; So if anyone has been here please help me i really need it. I never thought cooking would bring me to tears.

Adjusting to a new routine always takes time, whatever it may be. All your staples and other go-to foods are no longer valid options, and you need to find your new normal. It's easy to be hard on yourself, but feeling guilty about your disease is not going to help anyone. You can try adjusting old recipes, but before you're comfortable using gluten free ingredients you can do some research on the internet to find new recipes and ideas you can use for the whole family (thus eliminating the need to make 3 separate meals.) Being excited about trying something new, and making your family part of it may be easier and less frustrating. Just take it easy, there's no need to make this harder than it is... Take it one day at a time, there's no other way :)

I can relate. Last summer I had the worst GI issue. Nothing I ate made me feel well as a matter of fact I lost 10 pounds without trying. I was tested and the Dr's really never found out what the hell was causing the distress but pointed to Celiac Disease. Since they couldn't be certain and this disease can be mis-diagnosed I decided to try to help myself. Changing to a more unprocessed diet really helped me & I am sure it will help you too. Change is always hard, but I know you can do this.

Thanks for understanding and offering advice. I was feeling so frustrated and after writing this I broke down and told my husband how upset I felt. And he offered to help anyway he could. I am feeling 100% better today. Thank you all.
