Hi guys! I have celiac disease and lupus, and I'm looking for people to support/motivate, and those that would be willing to do the same for me! I'm really struggling with not eating gluten, as well as losing weight, but I've got 260 pounds to lose, so let's get to this!

    Getting off gluten 100% is so hard. I have undiagnosed celiac. And its SO hard to stick with GF foods.
    the first month i was 100% off gluten i dropped 15lbs without exercise or other dietary restrictions.
    Lately ive been indulging and I'm paying for it... its never worth it.

    The temptation never really outweighs the consequences for me... Eating gluten leaves me miserable for two or three days. It is never worth it! I have learned how to bake and cook just about anything I might be tempted by anyway.

    Are you just newly diagnosed?

    I have been a celiac since I was 18 (now 26) and I found that I went through stages while going GF. At first when I didn't really know how much damage I was doing to myself when I ate gluten I would be like "its ok, just this one meal" or that "one treat". And then after a while when I was going long periods with no gluten I would really start to see and feel how bad I felt and looked when I did break and now I just don't want to touch the stuff because I know how bad it will make me feel. I think it was about 2-3 years ago that I started to have this feeling. So all I can say is hang in there, be strong about not having any gluten and if you do, note how your body reacts and make sure to remember that the next time you feel you need gluten....hang in there, it gets easier.

    It will be easier to avoid gluten once you have been off of it for awhile, healed and have that first run in with it. It will be horrible and you will not want to repeat it.I have nightmares about eating crackers and pizza.

    I am undiagnosed, but I get rashes, migraines, stabbing stomach pains, muscle aches, some depression/anxiety and my weight shoots up about 15-25 pounds in one or two days when I have it.
