I understand your frustration. I don't have celiac's but have food allergies; they are for things that I love but definitely cannot have. My niece (10) and several friends have celiac's and the foods are so much more expensive; it takes it's toll on the grocery budgets. However, we noticed how much better physically my niece felt after changing her diet. However, I feel so bad for her too as she craves the other foods and ones other kids and families are eating and she cannot. I wish there was a way around this and being "special", as her parents tell her, only goes so far. It is a frustrating disease but I hope there have been benefits to your health as there have been for her. I wish I knew a way to deal with the emotional toll it takes. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be much appreciated.
