Question:
I am so sick of thinking about food. How long does one have to go on a special diet to see if it clears up symptoms? I can’t imagine having to go gluten free for a year before seeing any results. I'm a little freaked about diet. I want to maintain as much of a social life as I can, the isolation of being sick and only eating twigs when everyone else is out eating pizza is sucky. And plus I work fulltime and the logistics of special diets are pretty sucky. How long do I have to stay on one of these things to figure out if diet is the cause of symptoms? I just want to know so I know what to do. But if the answer is stay home and prepare all my meals alone, and out of nothing but hard to cook, inconvenient foods, for the rest of my life, well, I might have a heart attack from the stress, and a broken heart from the loneliness. I know there are people who seem to think diet is the end all be all, but I live in a city, I am young and single, and don’t want to be a shut in because there's gluten in the local pubs omelets.
