just got diagnosed with celiac and while i know it’s not the end of the world it’s one more diagnosis to add to the list and im feeling depressed about it. i’m not excited about eating or food in general anymore and just feel defeated.

don’t let anyone downplay the burden of disease of celiac. it’s the same as late stage kindney disease on dialysis and the partner burden is comparable to caring for a patient with cancer. it’s great to finally get that diagnosis and know how to help yourself. but no one talks about how isolating it is. its not as easy to eat gluten free and it should be. i’m sorry you’re going through this friend but you’re not alone!
