One thing I forgot to mention to you via...Barbara-<br /><br />One thing I forgot to mention to you via email is that it is quite common to have a dairy allergy or sensitivity with gluten allergy/celiac. Very very common. If your friend's mother does not feel much better within a short period of time after going gluten free (say 2 weeks), she might want to try going dairy free or switching to no cow dairy (sheep and goat is ok, though may be tough to come by depending on how far out she is from a town). I found I felt much better - no headaches or impaired sleep patterns - once I went off dairy. It's not easy to do.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154985248882497123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174564569646972747.post-42030106902697802872010-02-05T22:52:02.667-05:002010-02-05T22:52:02.667-05:00Laura-

It was interesting that I lost almost 30 pounds before anyone really noticed! Then, with the new attention, I got cocky and added some foods back into my diet, thinking, this little bit won't hurt. But then, as you can imagine, the pounds added up again and all my new skills at keeping challenging foods at bay went out the window. It is beyond time to redevelop those skills, and learn how to deal with attention from folks who wish me well and notice changes. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments- and your support!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154985248882497123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174564569646972747.post-88288592112629943362010-02-05T20:31:49.669-05:002010-02-05T20:31:49.669-05:00I really am mulling over the idea of living with i...I really am mulling over the idea of living with intention, although I believe I set out to do this on a dialy basis I am not sure I had a clear plan for how to do so. You have given me some food for thought that I will have to consider for a while. <br /><br />As far as the cutting out grain, I lost 40 pounds when I went low carb which meant eliminating almost all grains from my diet as well as sugar. Over the past 6 months I have fallen off the wagon and have been eating those foods again, I have slowly gained back at least 20 pounds and I feel the difference. I need to re think my diet as well. Good luck, stick to it you won't know till you give it an honest try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027961595371601398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174564569646972747.post-21690529046412557622010-02-05T18:00:41.060-05:002010-02-05T18:00:41.060-05:00Love that poem.

I asked if her mom has seen a nutritionist, which I think would be a natural step for someone with so many dietary restrictions. However, the area where her mom lives is very small and it can be hard as many doctors haven't received a lot of training about celiac. so i did a little research for her and turns out a leading nutritionist specializing in celiac and those with complicated medical conditions is just 1 1/2 hours away. the nutritionist has celiac himself!<br /><br />It's funny that no one had even suggested it to her! She's been living on rice and tacos! <br /><br />I can't wait to hear if she starts feeling better. It's a shame more people with gluten intolerance aren't given more information about eating a well balanced gluten-free diet. Do you have any favorite recipe sites? I'm going to pass along your blog and any others you can suggest to her.Barbara Bechtelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245733527571208892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5174564569646972747.post-22559011956180222022010-02-05T14:33:39.382-05:002010-02-05T14:33:39.382-05:00Thanks, Dogwood.

I am sure all of a sudden you will drop the weight. Your body is probably adjusting to the change in diet.
