x-posted at celiac

I've noticed that all the newbies on the Celiac groups ask the same questions. They generally know the basics, i.e. what Celiac is, and why they must avoid gluten, but that's it. So I'm writing an FAQ. It's filled with my opinions on things, but it's noted as my opinion, not fact. Any other questions you might recommend?

Part of me thinks he is contantly falling apart because he has some issue with gluten (like I just KNOW it) he ahs become lactose intolerant in the past few months (year?).

Very well writen.

*nod* Gluten can certainly cause some pretty nasty reactions. Me, I was depressed, fly-off-the-handle for no reason, and yeah, constantly falling apart. My husband gets paranoid and seems to think the entire world is conspiring against him.

Make your house gluten free and see what happens. It'd help Gage too.

its that he goes to camp where it gets even more difficult.
and I dont think he honestly believes it.

but what you just explained is HIM.
depression(anxiety), fly off the handle, and he is always sick with SOMETHING..always!
I have run out of patience because its always something, and I guess I suck.

Yeah, it'd be difficult when away, but how about making it gluten free at home (say it's for Gage), and then keep an eye on Rob for improvement? The reactions get worse when one is off it for a while and go back on. He'd notice it and it would prove it to him.

You don't suck. It's easy to lose patience with this sort of thing. I have no idea how my parents put up with me when I was like that for years.
