i absolutly hate it when people tell me, wow you have lost alot of weight, i explain to them celiac and the gluten free diet and they say wow i need to go on a gluten free diet!!! ARGH!!! they just dont understand. and to top it off my neighbor who saw me how sick i was for months before gluten free and she even says it!!! i lost most of the weight before but now i am not losing too much weight maybe 1/2 lb a week to a lb so its slowed down ALOT, i am just so tired of hearing people say i need to go on a gluten free diet to lose weight, even the ones who saw me before and saw all the weight loss when i was sick. its just so irritating and i am getting tired of explaining it all and now just say look up celiac disease online. does anyone else have this problem with people?? what should i say? i am just getting irritated. any advice will be greatly appreiciated. thanks!!!

Next time somebody comments on it, don't say anything about going gluten free. Just mention you're eating healthier and (maybe) working out more. If you say "Thanks, I went gluten free!" it correlates losing weight with gluten free.

i agree with Os. And there's no use getting irritated with people who don't understand.

Maybe referring to it as the "if I don't I get explosive runny poo" diet, it would sound less appealing.

cruelshoes hhahahahahahahhahaa!!! that is much too funny
ostrich, your probably right, but alot of people at my sons school saw me and how sick i was so they naturally say you look so good now, did you ever find out what was wrong, and of course i say oh, i have celiac where i cant have gluten, so they naturally say i need to be gluten free too. i then tell them it was the gluten that made me lose the weight and made me sick, but they press on about the gluten free thing. oh well. next time i will just say its a better diet  i never thought of that, thanks ostrich
