ARGH!!! they just dont understand. and to top it off my neighbor who saw me how sick i was for months before gluten free and she even says it!!! i lost most of the weight before but now i am not losing too much weight maybe 1/2 lb a week to a lb so its slowed down ALOT, i am just so tired of hearing people say i need to go on a gluten free diet to lose weight, even the ones who saw me before and saw all the weight loss when i was sick. its just so irritating and i am getting tired of explaining it all and now just say look up celiac disease online. does anyone else have this problem with people?? what should i say? i am just getting irritated. any advice will be greatly appreiciated. thanks!!! _________________ Gluten is my cryptonite

Next time somebody comments on it, don't say anything about going gluten free. Just mention you're eating healthier and (maybe) working out more. If you say "Thanks, I went gluten free!" it correlates losing weight with gluten free. _________________ Ostrich :>--O==={ I lie below, you float above In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of
