Thank you for your replies.

This is so dificult to understand. I am 23 years old and was perfectly healthy for 21 years so.... why did gluten sudenly become a problem to me?? If i was intolerant to gluten, wouln't this intolerance have apeared earlier?? Or can something triger this intolerance?

It makes me so sad delicious cookies i love are full of this damaging substance: gluten... I love bread, cookies, oatmeal, pasta, beer, soy sauce... but i think the most difficult part of the gluten free diet is being around people who are offering you to eat this or eat that... I hate to disapoint people, sometimes when i reject somthing people feel that i am picky... i could explain, but it is uncomfortable to be explaining everyone your health issues... I have decided to tell people i am allergic to wheat. That is somethin easier to understand....

There is somethin else that has been dificult. I don't know how to know if somethin has gluten or not. It is not as esasy here because many labels don't mention ingredients properly. Do you know any easy guidelines? Or should i refrain from eating anything i am not sure has gluten or not??

Well i guess i will just put uo with the "side effects" of being gluten free

Thank you
