i think it is interesting because everyone is diagnosed at different times and when i did my science fair most people were diagnosed inbetween 20-40 and i want to know when everyone else was dx

Guest jhmom

I answered for me but also wanted to let you know that my daughter was dx when she was 8 (it wouldn't let me vote twice).

Hi, I'm new to the forum. My name is Emily, and I'm almost a sophmore in college. I'm from Kansas, but am going to school in Rexburg, Idaho. I was diagnosed a week or two into my senior year of high school, so I was 17. I turn 19 in two days, so it's been almost 2 years since I found out I had Celiac.

Hi, Emily! I'm almost 40, just diagnosed, and living in Southeast Kansas. What part of Kansas are you from?

byuiemily Newbie

I'm from Topeka, born and raised there. Where in Kansas are you at?

plantime Contributor

Between Pittsburg and Columbus. I love this state!

Hey, she gave me older than teen options so I took it! :rolleyes: I'm 44, back in college full-time (masters) :huh: ; diagnosed at 42. hindsight shows it's been active most of my life (enameless teeth!) :D

I was officially diagnosed around my 23rd birthday. I think it was several days before my birthday!

psawyer Proficient

This is a really old thread, recently revived. I wasn't a teen even when it was started. My official diagnosis was given to me two days after my 46th birthday. I'm 52 now. So, at the moment: I am 15 with 37 years of experience. :lol: My first post here, in 2004, was also in response to a poll by Molly.

Viola 1 Rookie

I was 42 when diagnosed, I'm 60 now ... that's 15 with 45 years of experience :lol: I love that Peter.

Kaycee Collaborator

Ha, I'm a dork. Diagnosed at 20 (not 22)... I'm 22, which gives me two whole years experience (in a few more months).

jerseyangel Proficient

Wow--this is an old thread! :D

I was diagnosed in June of 2005 at age 49. I had symptoms from about the age of 30.

Shirley and Peter--I'm not sure, what does that make me? :unsure:

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
    • trents
      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.
