Ok, so i've been getting alot of crap from my mother recently. She 'knows it all' and apparently I know nothing because I'm only 17... she's been telling me that she's had 'back' and 'stomach' problems her whole life. So she decided to get the gene test. Before she told me she was 100% positive she had the gene. The results came back and she was negative. I litteraly cracked up. The funny thing is, she's still giving me a real hard time for coming home from school, not being in the top football team at school (at least i'm playing for god sake), not spending as much time with my friends etc. She keeps telling me that I'm way too obsessive with the diet and i'm being misleaded.
She says that she's watched my behaviour change. She says it changed after I found out i had the gene. I've heard her tell people she thinks it's 90% in my head, 10% pain. Honestly, in her head she knows it all, and she will agree with any professional. I refuse to go to doctor now because I'll sit there getting gang bashed for losing weight and being on a diet that 'won't help'.
Can someone please help explain how bad this disease really is, i've tried everything.. she seems to think i should be able to just push it into the background............ and she says that i'm not an 'extreme' case. She has no idea....
Ironically, my sister has recently been diagnosed hla b27 positive after many gut problems.. I care for her but honestly they are both so closed minded. I asked her if she wanted to try the NSD and she said she didn't want to join an anorexic cult.
Sorry if this sounds like an insult to all of you. It's not. You've all helped me so much. I have 100% faith in the diet.
Seb
