[QUOTE="JMoli, post: 2430246, member: 518411"] Hi, just wanted to say hello and that I think it’s normal to be anxious around food at first. I think I read here, or another forum, that it takes around three years on average to get confident with food after diagnosis. I’m a year and a half in and the first few months (probably a year) I had a very limited diet - I still mostly eat bread and potatoes and have yet to try so many meals BUT I’m getting there and trying out things gradually and finding my feet, it just takes time. I struggle with gaining weight and found I could only just maintain 8 stone on 130 g carb a day so personally I have to eat more to try and gain, low-carb can be tricky if you’re very slim I think for some people. Anyway, hope you’re getting some more help with a dietician and I’m sure you will gain confidence in your own time x [/QUOTE]
