What I LIKE most about celiac

[Guest guest]

When I get discouraged, I make myself remember all of the children we saw at All Children's hospital during the long process it took for my son to get a diagnosis of celiac disease. There were so many kids there with cancer, lupus, and a whole other long line of diseases/conditions with very poor outlooks - many of which they were testing my son for - it was sad and frightening.

So....when I get discouraged about the eating out or special cooking, I try to put things in perspective and be thankful that by diet changes alone, we are healthy. And, by the way, I DO get discouraged sometimes, but by being conscious of remembering this past experience, I am able to get past it pretty quickly and focus on the positives.

I am so encouraged by the increasing variety of GF food available and the many restaurants getting onboard with GF menus!

I had to get several IV infusions of iron recently. These are given

at the local cancer clinic's infusion center.

A cancer patient receiving chemo actually said to me, " Oh, I'd just

DIE if I couldn't eat wheat. At least there's a chance that my

cancer will be cured. " I wasn't the only one who stared at her in

shock.

And here I am thinking, " Wow, my treatment is EASY and it won't make

me sick. " Instead, I just wished her luck.
