Hey, I'm New To This Message Board Stuff

[blb1285]

Hey, guys, My name is Bonnie and I'm 19. I just got started on this forum and omg is it confusing. Anyway, I live in Chicago and I just wanted to meet celiacs my age from my area or throughout the country. I've been diagnosed for 8 years, went to camp celiac in RI for two years, and I just attended the CSA conference in Virginia last weekend where I helped out with their new teen program. Someone from there suggested that I get started on this and post a message. I would have a picture, but for some reason it said i wasn't able to post a personal picture. Anyway, feel free to reply and talk to me. (maybe you can help me out on how to use this message board).

Hi, I'm Jackie and I'm fourteen years old. I'm a bit younger than most people here, but I like it. It's pretty easy to figure out, don't worry.

Hi Bonnie!

My name is Monica, and I'm 21. The board is a lot less intimidating once you get used to it (kinda like celiac disease itself). It's nice to "meet" you, and feel free to message me.
