I'm just wondering if anybody else knows about any long term after effects that this diet can cause?
I've been getting on great the last 3 weeks (with plenty of ups and downs of course) but at the weekend my aunty and uncle were up visiting and i told them i was on this diet - my aunty told me to get off this diet as soon as i could cause her daugher (my cousin) was on this diet years ago and developed a wheat intolerance a few weeks after - she has to live on gluten free products now for the rest of her life. the doctors told her it was down to this diet that her body didn't know how to process them kind of foods when she went back onto them and thats why she became sick.
she also told me about my other cousin who was also on this diet a couple of years back and she developed Crohns disease afterwards - she had done damage to her bowels cause she wasn't eating solid foods for such a long period of time.
this has me really worried... im starting to think is it really worth it if there's a posibility i could end up with some sort of long term health damaging after effect.... i want to keep going till halloween anyways and then maybe join WW after that or something.... i just dont know what to do...
