I am soooo proud of you! I have been reading how you have just gone 2 weeks GF and have even managed to ignore a few gluten goodies placed before you. You ARE the woman! Keep up the good work. I am also going to leave you an email in the "kitchen" (Diet Forum) - stay tuned.
Keep up the good work. I am rooting for you!
Love,
Polly

I was thinking the same thing, so I second that motion.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I sometimes feel like I'm bragging when I make those posts, but its to get posts like this that are so supportive. I do struggle to stick to it. I'm sure there are hidden glutens in things I;ve eaten, but even those types of things I'm trying to be really careful of. Step 1 for me is to avoid the obvious when I'm tired, or its placed in front of me. I will be tempted again this afternoon (Erin's b-day party) and again tomorrow (Geoff's brother's b-day). At least this afternoon we'll have ice cream as an alternative.
You are absolutely right, Katy!! We all need encouragement and a pat on the back sometimes to keep going toward our goal.
It IS hard to turn temptation away when it's right in front of you. You are doing better at it than I am. Stay strong this weekend and then you can get back to a more even keel.
Love, Shirley

We KNOW you can do it! Just concentrate on how GOOD that ice cream tastes and how achey and BLAH you'll feel if you eat that cake. Do you have a GF cookie or two to eat with the ice cream?
Love,
Polly

Congratulations Katy! It is a hard diet and road to follow but it most certainly does have its rewards. You can do it and you will find all of the support you need right here.
Love, Maggie
