Aw, you poor thing! Throwing up sucks!
I brought my own food for Easter brunch yesterday and felt bad about it, but at least it was safe, ya know?
Just keep a bunch of portable coolers around the house and you can always pack safe food to take anywhere, anytime!
Love, Elizabeth

I'm happy to be there for you! I hope things are looking better for you. I don't eat totally gluten free, but I don't eat wheat. I have made quite a few gluten free breads, though, because my dad and I like to experiment with them (he eats GF to stay thin and have low cholesterol basically), so if you have questions about it, just ask and maybe I can help. It's great that you made GF bread for the first time!! This weekend, I was home and we made Heather's Cinnamon Zucchini bread with Bob's Red Mill All Purpose GF Flour and it was SO yummy!!
I don't think I've gained weight yet  I have been trying to eat lots of carbs frequently in little portions and I do think I have been able to get in more calories. I'm seeing a dietician next week, so hopefully that will help. Thanks for the hugs!! Talk to you soon.

I saw this before Purim, but I just goot the opportunity now to sit down and write a response. I hope by now you're feeling somewhat better. I would give hugs, but there are a few problems there so we'll have to have someone else do it.
The way I see it, the move should help a lot. You're going to a place where hopefully, poeple will be better attuned to your problems. Not knowing exactly WHERE you're going, I can't offer any specific advice as to the community, but I'm confident that you know what you are doing.
A good idea, as a general practice, is to tell people that invite you over what you can and cannot eat as early as you can following the invitation; heck, even when they GIVE the invitation. When people invite me for stuff here, I tell them that I am more than willing to accept, but "I can't eat red meat." And I personally try just to leave it at that instead of running through everything because I'm at meals of 20+ college students, and to make the whole meal IBS safe isn't practical.
But for you, where 1) You're a LOT more mature than college kids (I hope) and 2) It's a smaller group, it's probably not too hard to work out with the hosts what you can and can't eat. In general, people won't inquire too much if you say it's a medical issue, and even if they do, I rely on the good ol' "intestinal disorder." It's usually enough for people to realize that it's serious but...er..."gross" enough that they stop asking questions And if you then don't wash or drink wine, they usually can figure out on their own that you have a heter.
And you already identified your other issue, which is that you need to be more assertive. But you already know that.
Good luck preparing for Pesach.

Ruchie, glad to hear you're feeling a bit better today. Thanx for your post in the recipe board, I thought I'd better reply in here or I'd get in trouble for misposting!
Well I had a pretty traumatic childhood, and I've always had self image problems, so its not surprising that I have some sort of eating disorder. I've never been anorexic as I love my food too much! But I have had binge eating problems the past few years, and did also when I was younger - I'd starve myself for a few days, then eat and eat and eat cos I'd be so hungry, and feel so crook because of it that I'd starve myself again, etc etc etc. Such a vicious circle.
I didn't mention ADs because I used to take them for depression, and I found they were useless. I only became more depressed because I was focussing on my problem 24/7. But I am worried that I am depressed at the moment, I have no energy and I used to have such determination for improving my health that I would stick strictly to my GF/ IBS diet. These days I don't have the willpower so I'm constantly cheating and feeling even more depressed because of it. I have yet another docs appointment on monday because I feel so sick today, I've had headaches, blurry vision/ poor concentration, fatigue, nausea, back aches and chronic bloat for months now. I've decided to bite the bullet and order a complete examination, I can't go on feeling like this anymore, there's got to be more to it then just IBS and gluten intolerance.
Sigh, sorry for whinging, but I feel so sick today
Anyway, Beth, welcome to our GF IBS club!! Its great to have such warm support from other GFers. Somedays I wish there was no such thing as food!! Ruch, I haven't read Danna Korn's book, but I do have one from the coelaic society that is very interesting.
Talk to you all soon xxxxxxx
