Hi everyone! I am a graduate student at the University of California San Francisco and am building an app that would help connect people with various chronic illnesses. The idea is that individuals can make a profile with there interests and background and look through different profiles to find someone in a similar situation to chat with (over phone or zoom). The idea is similar to that of modern data apps but with a focus on building friendships with those dealing with similar illnesses to help cope.  I grew up with a  mother with Celiac at a time when finding gluten free options was extremely difficult and so this community is near and dear to my heart. Does this seem like something that would be helpful to you? If so reach out to me with feedback! I am also looking for people to test out our app in the near future so let me know if you would be interested!

Hi celiacson2 and welcome to the forum.

I'm a bit of a technophobe - this forum is about as technical as I get - but I realise I'm being left behind and need to do something about it!  But what you describe sounds very interesting.    I hope others will chime in soon - but my question is, could you run this on a computer or is it just for smartphones?

Hi Cristiana, thanks for your reply! We hope to have both a website for computers and a smartphone app where people can connect. We are still early in development so definitely open to suggestions, but don't want to leave anyone behind who might not have a smartphone.

I think that would be valuable to have both options.

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.

      About 5 Months ago I got a little bit sick and since then I have been having trouble focusing, rembering, thinking thought through, having pressure on my head and even just talking to friends normaly has become a challange. I also have been having yellowish poops. My father was has celiac but I am not sure if thats what is causeing my problems becasue I dont have any abdomnial pain like him. i have also tried going gluten free for a week with no results, but maybe i just need to try for longer. I have gone to doctors but they haven't had really any ideas as to whats wrong with me they just say it could be anything and try this drug maybe it will work. I really am tired of feeling terrible all the time and if any one knows if these symptoms are common to celiac or has any other ideas whats wrong with me please let me know.
