Hey everyone, i just signed up today! I've had celiac disease all my life, so i've become use to it. I guess i'm lucky that i've always had it, and dont know what i've been missing out on like some people that have been recently diagnosed. Anyways im just starting college at University of Pittsburgh-Bradford and the food situation has gone really well. If anyone is just starting college and has any questions just ask me. Or if you just want to talk thats fine too haha.

Hi:

Thanks for posting in. There are several college age people that regularly post here. Some are having difficulties with the cost of maintaining a gluten-free diet while at school. Others have a difficult time with cafeteria food and finding the safe things to eat.

I am sure that your experience will be invaluable to them. Thank you so much for your offer to help.

Glad to meet you. :)

Yeah i'm 18 also and live in PA. There is a girl here that as celiac disease also, and is a sophmore. So when i came to talk to the head chef he was already use to cooking for someone with it. I go to main campus in Pittsburgh in 2 years and i'm hoping it will be as easy there as it was here :P

That's very cool about your situation. I am rather glad my University doesn't have dorms but rather apartments, so, even if I did live on cmapus I wouldn't have to deal with food plans. I'd be cool to meet another Celiac on campus but I have found a few people who know about gluten and shop at the same health food stores I do. It's nice to have people who understand.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
