Persons with celiac disease live happy lives if they adhere to a strict gluten free diet and join a local support group or online support group to know where to eat, buy groceries, and to receive support from others with celiac disease.

Just been diagnosed with coeliac? Just think how wonderful it will be to have no more symptoms when you follow the diet.

Try to stay positive even when glutened. Network with other celiacs and join a support group. As soon as I was diagnosed the attitude I took was: as medical conditions go it's not the worst thing to happen. My condition is controlled by being careful what I eat. I don't have to take any medication for it and outside of food I can have a perfectly normal life. If you keep that in your mind it won't feel too bad.

A diagnosis of Celiac Disease can be a major social change! Seeking out help from others such as through a support group is an excellent way to get started on the road to a gluten free life. Also look into online support groups/pages.

Reading blogs, joining Facebook groups, attending local in-person support groups and don't be afraid to call companies to find out if a product is GF or not. Most importantly READ LABELS. If you question something it is best not to eat until you can confirm it is GF or not.

It is like normal life only without gluten food.

Be grateful that this is a disease that can be managed - there are many that cannot. When attending social occasions, sometimes it is easier to eat before. Don't make a big deal about having to be gluten free to other people - just eat elsewhere and say you aren't hungry or the doctor has you on a special diet.

Conhecer sobre a sua condição é de extrema importância para recuperação e/ou manutenção da saúde. É necessário adaptar-se as mudanças como por exemplo: aprender a cozinhar, planejar as refeições fora de casa, locais seguros para comer fora de casa. O cuidado com a saúde física, mental, espiritual são importantes para ter uma vida feliz, mesmo com a DC.

The problem that you may be a celiac is at the time of the meals and especially when you eat out. This can occur in some people with celiac disease as a certain isolation, not being able to make the same plans that his family and friends. But there are increasingly more restaurants and hotels that offer a gluten-free meal. You can be very happy with the celiac disease, do not give importance to the disease and to find alternate places to go to eat with family and friends and to live a life as normal as possible.

Depends on when you diagnose, whether it is small or adult. Children depend on their parents and will do better to the gluten-free diet. The problem is that your friends do not have in mind at the time of holidays and meals and in the cole many times either.
Adult, first you deny that you pass to you. Second annoys you and sometimes you eat gluten case made even knowing that your health deteriorates... Third what you assume, but it gives you a lot of sadness or depression. Fourth, and after going through all of this, you take that you feel better and that gluten-free you are much more healthy. Your perception of everything changes to better, and more optimistic... You realize that you are a normal person with a limitation to the time of eating. Everything else, all the same.
Tip: Since man is a being social, we can not stay at home without going out for fear of contamination or to stand by and watch as they eat the others. I pray for favor more restaurants, machines gluten-free in airports and hospitals, greater awareness in general. So we will be just as happy healthy people, neither more nor less. The same.

We can live a happy life with celiac disease as long as you follow the diet. The symptoms will then diminish. The only difficulty is the social life but there are always people understanding.

To be happy just to continue living. Accept your condition. Adapt to the new food rules, and if you do feel like why not develop culinary skills.

It is complicated in terms of coexistence. It is very difficult to share the house with not celiac and don't get sick usually. My solution is: everything gluten-free for all. Non-celiacs can eat gluten outside of the home whenever they want, but in the house is gluten-free cooking for my safety. The only thing that I admit are beers with gluten in the fridge. The rest is all no. If you can afford to have two kitchens, then you have it easier than me, but if not... the one that has to lose you!. And as for eating out: be sure to always ask and make sure or have a seal that certifies, or the workers of the restaurant are well aware of what they are talking about. If you see that hesitate when you tell them that you can not take gluten, flee!, if you have doubts about something that is on your plate and don't touch it and question. It would not be the first time that despite calling in the reservation and when I arrived, I planted a biscuit in the dessert. Mind because at least now everything is easier and the disease is becoming more and more known. Arm yourself with patience because you will have to explain the same thing to forty thousand times, and there will be people who simply do not believe you. Think about what you want, if you are unsure of something, do not eat it. If someone wet the bread in the salad, don't eat more. If someone part bread very close to a dish, don't try it. If you don't want to explain it just say you don't want more, or that you don't want.

Being a person with celiac does not prevent the sick to be happy. He is happy because you can do all as a person who is not, the only thing is to watch what you eat.
In the beginning, perhaps it can be a chaos to deal with the disease, but as it goes, adapting and accepting the disease is more happy a sick belly as it begins to have a better quality of life.
It is important to take the disease with maturity, to accept that it is sick celiac, see you in the best positive way because it is a healthier life although it is extrañen certain foods,

Living with the disease requires a period of break-in period, and education to those around us. The hardest part of this disease are social events, because in our home we can handle. We must put the food in the background when we go out if we go to a meet not to suffer for what we can't eat, but enjoy to share the moment, to bring our lunch or go well eaten.

We can be happy with the disease, with all certainty! We live with food restrictions and even social, but we have gained a lot of quality of life and well-being. This should motivate us each day. Today we already have a wide variety of gluten-free products, tasty, and safe. The only problem is still the cost and the accessibility, but I believe that things will improve.

If you can be happy, I recommend to watch your diet and always have on hand for gluten-free food that prevent one from falling into the temptation of eating something forbidden, knowing how to say no when offered food that is not fit. Learn how to cook things that you like is a good alternative to replace the foods with gluten. Do sports, lead a healthy lifestyle and above all, surround yourself with people who care about one, and to know the disease. understand that there are things more important than food as being healthy for example.
