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). :D

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.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
