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:

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
