Long Time...

Wow, between this, Livejournal, Myspace, and other internet toys, I really haven't been on here. I figured I'd drop a few lines.   The only thing I miss now that I'm a Celiac is the quickness and convenience of meals. That is, only when Thai Kitchen and other gluten-free packed food isn't available. I miss Krispy Kremes and Combos, badly. I wish that cooking breakfast and lunch didn't take so freaking long. It takes me almost an hour to cook, and when one of my friends asked my roommate where

My First Post--last July.

Hello everyone!I'm a 21- year-old female who has exhibited many of the symptoms of celiac disease for the past five months. I have had an upper GI, countless blood tests (one of which caused me to pass out), a gallbladder untrasound, an X-Ray, and a stool card test (I never got the results on that one!). All of those tests were normal except for the final bloodwork I had done in June showing gluten antibodies. I have an EGD on Aug. 4th, and I'm not looking forward to being sedated while I swallo

The College Story.

After taking the tour in the spring of '02, I headed to Thiel to begin my freshman year that August (the 18th, to be precise). Cross Country camp starts early--I'll be there on the 21st this year (if I don't have to go to the country fair with the radio station for my internship). I was terrified, even though the campus is small, about numerous college awareness factors for young, single, vulnerable females. I remember waiting for my physical and literally gripping the wall. Initially (in high

A Story Of Me.

I posted my diagnosis story a year ago in "Pre-Diagnosis and Testing," but I figured that I'd start with my life before I turned the gene on.Apparently, someone (whether Upstairs or otherwise) wanted me to have difficult challenges most of my life. I realize that I'm not the only one, but I thought that I'd share a few things.Sometime in 1983, before I was born, and until I was eight years old (1991), my father was a manager at the Allentown, Pa. UPS. One of his co-workers had a severe case of t

Glutened For The Second Time

Yesterday, I was hungry and I went to the cupboard. I noticed that we had Swoops--those chocolate Pringles-like things. The regular Reeses ones with milk chocolate are OK, so I falsely assumed that these would be--and then decided to check the label after eating FIVE. Way at the bottom of the list, after 'defatted peanuts' was WHEAT FLOUR. There is a hole in my intestine, ladies and gentleman.Eh...

Thai Kitchen Rules!

My fellow intern wants to try one of my Thai Kitchen bowls...even after he said that the rice noodles look like plastic. Haha!

Vegetarians Only Do It For Fun

One of my co-workers politely asked me, after declining a gyro, if I was a vegetarian. I told him about the "wheat allergy," and he asked me how my allergy manifests itself. I politely told him that I vomit--and that it's genetic. I told him about the rice bread and whatnot--and he was pretty cool with it. My take on vegetarians who have started a vegan/whatever (not purposely gluten-free) diet: they don't realize how lucky they are. Sure, I'm not missing most of that poisonous stuff, but the fa

A Quick Summation Of The Past Year Since The Diag.

*July 2, 2004--my mother's birthday and the day of my bloodwork (IgG)*One week later--tested positive for IgG antibodies. Was told by my Gastro's head nurse, "Here are all the things that you can't have. Are you ready?" *Found this site and support group on the 17th.*Bought rice bread, tasted it for the first time, and hated it. Got used to it eventually, and now enjoy it, except when it crumbles--that sucks.*Talked to the Food Services staff at Thiel and told them about my condition--which they
