[QUOTE="Josie, post: 111085, member: 1792"] My plan for her as she gets older is that cheating, or even the suspicion of cheating, will result in more restrictions. If she can't go out with her friends and not cheat, she will not go out with them as much. Hopefully, she will be easy child enough that she doesn't just go out any way. This diet has changed her behaviour but she really needs to be on it for health. She's not officially diagnosis'ed with celiac disease but it is in my family and I believe she would end up with it if she kept eating gluten. This means it would end up damaging her small intestine. She is diagnosis'ed by an MD with gluten intolerance. There are studies that show people with gluten intolerance end up with neurological problems and more autoimmune disease. Some people I've read about on the celiac board were close to being in wheelchairs until they gave up gluten. Some of them recover completely but some have apparently irreversible damage. She admits she feels better on the diet. I expect she will cheat and she will have to come to her own conclusion but I don't see how I can, as her mother, say it is ok to cheat. I am coming down hard on her for cheating so that she will see that her life is miserable if she cheats. Hopefully, this will help her develop some self-restraint. Honestly, I'm not sure medications would help her if she continues to eat those foods. She was on Lexapro before and still acting this way. They were looking at mood stabilizers or Seroquel. Maybe she would just be tranquilized enough to contain herself but that just doesn't seem to be the way to go to me when we know what the real problem is. To help her stay on her diet, I make all kinds of girlfriend/CF treats and have her take it with her. I know it isn't the same as eating what every one else eats but her friends actually like what she has. [/QUOTE]
