Perhaps 'sickie' will morph into 'sillie' :) I think lots of us dealt with nicknames, unfortunately sometimes they stick. Stick - that was mine. I had a twin also, a boy and oddly enough no one made fun of him. They were to busy picking on me. Try not to let it get to you. At least your a sophmore this year.

Hey Kassie,

Hopefully your nick name will change, but I know from personal experience that sometimes they can stick for years.

So far, I have not gotten any nick names because of my celiac, but for years I was called Johnny Crash because of my not so impressive version of a Johnny Cash song during a school talent show. I was 10 years old, and I was up there singing my heart out to "Ring of Fire", when all of a sudden I was singing "I fell in..." and CRASH I ran into and knocked over a speaker.

To top it all off, I later found out that my mike was off the entire time :ph34r:

People called me crash or Johnny Crash until I graduated high school :ph34r:

Good luck with soccer.

I played 4 years of varsity soccer in high school, and it's my favorite sport.

My boyfriend calls me "gluten-head" it's silly and isn't really suiting seeing as I don't eat gluten, but cute none the less. Another one he made up is "grinch-a-saurus-rex" for my mood swings I got from being a "gluten-head".

Well, not me, but my food gets nicknamed. My cousin LOVES my gluten-free cake and calls it 'gluten-cake'. He also loves my gluten-free cookies 'gluten-cookies'. I keep explaining over and over that's not gluten but it never goes through :lol:

      4 Years and very little progress

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  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.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  Many people with celiac...

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do...
