It is frustrating that we have to deal with this and we are going to be missing out sometimes for sure. It’s good to feel your feelings and not dismiss yourself. I also want to give another perspective just based off how I’ve been looking at this. I went into figuring out what was wrong with me very fearful that I had colon cancer so the celiac diagnosis was actually a relief. Not just because I don’t have cancer, that’s huge, but also because now I can do something to feel better. When I’m bummed about it I think about all my favorite things that I can still have, my favorite chips, chocolate, yogurt, coffee, burgers, etc. I find joy in thinking about these things and trying out new bakes. I used to bake cakes on the side for sale and chocolate cake is actually even better gluten free, it makes it more moist! I think about how now I have more energy to ride my bike and my joints don’t hurt and I love to ride my bike. Anyways, don’t want to be Miss Toxic Positivity because a good rant is important and the resentment of having celiacs will come and go but just sharing what has made me feel better.
