Can't you explain to your friends, that even though you ate bread before, you shouldn't have, that you just didn't know it? That eating bread makes you sick! And now that you know what makes you feel bad, wouldn't they want you to feel better too, by avoiding what is poison for you?

I really don't understand why some people don't believe us. Your friends are supposed to care about you! Some of my family isn't very understanding, but fortunately my friends care a lot, and believe me. I guess it sucks when they don't.

I hope you'll either convince your friends soon, or make new ones who believe you, and want what's best for you.

Yeah it can be tough. Some people don't believe me either. People are weird :P If someone gets diagnosed with diabetes, and they suddenly can't eat sugar, nobody's going to tell them they should eat sugar now just becasue they did before. Tell your friends it's kinda like that. You should also make them some really yummy gluten-free cupcakes or brownies, so they can see that your food is good and not really that weird or different.

Welcome to the boards!

Well, can't help you with finding folks in Utah, but, let's discuss your friend issue. Personally, if that was me, I would mostly likely reply, "Well, I guess you don't have a headache because you weren't hurting before. Or, guess you don't have asthma because you could breathe just fine before" But, it would probably be good to take it on a nicer note :) Anyway, it's important that people you come in contact understand you can't consume gluten and that it is very harmful to you. Maybe your parents can convince them? Hope whatever best for you works out. =)

If you need anything, give me a PM!

Last summer I worked in Utah for my uncle, who gives tours through the Escelante Canyon area, and I started having gluten problems out there. It took me about half a year to figure out what it was, and I turned into a stick! Utah is great, and I am sorry you're having friend problems. Losers. It isn't that hard to understand. Wish I could eat lunch with you! It is so hard to eat lunch watching everyone eat lasagna and pasta and ketchup..... :(

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
