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

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.
