[QUOTE="Josie, post: 393710, member: 1792"] I have been on the same diet for almost 5 years and it is possible to avoid all of those foods. It is getting easier all the time, even. I am careful to only eat at restaurants that I trust. Restaurants that cook from scratch know what is in their food and are usually able to come up with something. If I am in a place where I don't trust the food, I have a drink instead. It might look like I have an eating disorder, but I do not care. I do not like the way I used to feel when I ate gluten and it is worth it to me to avoid it. I have accidentally had some gluten from eating in a restaurant twice in the last 4 years, but I never, never willingly cheat. I don't expect people to accommodate me or my daughters, but I am surprised by how many people do. It is not even a social death sentence. I agree that if I had true celiac disease and thought my only consequence was intestinal damage that I didn't notice, I might be tempted to cheat. I've been working on making my daughter's consequences so miserable for her that she isn't tempted, either. [/QUOTE]
