I'm Kelly. I'm fifteen, and I was diagnosed with Celiac's Disease about eight years ago. In the beginning, I honestly had no idea what to do. And now I find myself frustrated with people who don't understand it, haha.

I'm looking for some celiac friends, or just to talk?

Sometimes I get frustrated too, being the only one in my family who has a gluten-free diet. They think that maybe 'a little bit's okay' since that's what it's like with my older sister and carbohydrates. Are you the only one in your family with celiac?

Exactly. Me and my family are all celiacs, but when I'm around my friends, they do the whole "a little bit's okay, it won't hurt you" when they don't really understand how sick it'll make me.

Where do you live in North Carolina? I live in the Raleigh area.
