Celiac SUCKS 100%. But has anything in your life (other than symptoms) improved?

Celiac sucks and I’m almost certain that everyone in this sub would absolutely choose to not have Celiac if that was possible.

But I have been trying to appreciate some of the positives in my life since getting diagnosed. Other than no longer feeling constantly nauseous, one thing I’ve actually grown to love about celiac is that it forces me to cook. I could never cook before and didn’t care to try. Now I have to lol, unless I want to eat the same damn frozen pizza every night (I don’t).

I’m not here to gaslight anyone into putting a positive spin on this TERRIBLE illness. (It sucks and I hate it.) I am just curious if other people here feel any gratitude for specific ways that their Celiac diagnosis has helped grow/change them as a person.
