We were diagnosed June 06 through enterolab.

I voted for me.......39 at diagnosis......40 now.

Children at the time of testing were 6 1/2 and 3 3/4. Youngest hasn't been tested but gluten's a problem with him. His reaction started at 2 1/2 months.

I voted for Ty (between ages 5 - 10) he was diagnosed about 3 months before his sixth birthday. He's the only one of us with a diagnosis.

(As for me, I'm 29 with 11 years experience :P .)

I'm 14 and found out when i was like 11... do you guys think it would be harder to of had gluten all your life and have to give up or resist the curiosity FOREVER! I think I have it pretty easy... I know what it tastes like but still am young enough to "release' the habit i guess.

I was diagnosed when i was 14. That was about a year ago. i wish i would have found this site sooner. after a year i have learned a lot and it would have been easier if i had found the site.

Lizzie i dont no if i agree that it is easier 2 give up gluten after having eaten it. once u no wut it tastes like, then u cant forget. i think it would be easier if i had been eating gluten free since i was really little.

Ya, that makes sense.... but I think that after a while your taste buds "dull" because I remember that when I wasn't cel. I had this glutenfree store bought bread and it tasted HORRIBLE but now its not so bad... I dunno. Maybe I'm JUst special.. :P

Not really voting... because I count for 4 people. =)

1. 5 year old daughter (dx at 4) in June, 2006

2. Myself - dx in Sept of 06 - at 36.

3. 8 year old son - dx 1.17.07

4. 17 month old son - gluten free in October, 06. However, pediatrician is convinced we are missing something...and ran a panel last week. Results from Mayo Clinic are pending.

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By Kate1990 · Posted

      Hi,   I've started taking calcium citrate supplements from Webber Naturals. It says that it contains no gluten, but not that it is gluten-free. I've reached out to the company by e-mail and they have assured me that it is gluten-free. However, I think I'm reacting to it. I've searched everything else I consume and haven't found any possible source of contamination. I've been looking for other supplement brands that would be certified gluten-free and safe and have found a few options, but none of them ship to Canada. Does anyone know where I could buy calcium citrate supplements (apparently calcium citrate is the one that causes the least constipation, and this is an issue for me). Thanks in advance!

      Please help, is this Celiac?

      By Karen Rakhshan · Posted

      I am so sorry for your long-term pain and suffering. My symptoms are very similar to yours. Diarrhea for seven years now. Two doctors told me to take Metamucil. It didn’t help. Stomach pain, bloating and terrible nighttime diarrhea got worse and worse. I only stumbled upon Celiac as a possibility through a 23andMe genetic test which indicated I had the genetic marker for it. I went to my GP asking for the test and was told sure - I’ll give you the order, but you probably don’t have it. Guess what?  My blood work was off the charts positive. So high of a number, in fact, that the gastroenterologist I was sent to confirmed me even before a biopsy.  The gastro visit was just last week. I’ve been gluten free for a month now. Small improvement so far, but I’m hoping to continue healing.

      But there will still probably be times when you will get together with your brother and father in their home when food will be involved. You need to think through how you will handle that. In the meantime, separate your stuff from their stuff and keep it under lock and key if necessary.
