I just celebrated my 10yr anniversary this week and wanted to share with some of you who may be new to this crazy world were living in. It's not the end, when I found out I had Celiac I was 19 yrs old and thought my life was over how could I not eat and drink what my friends ate and drank. There was denial ( Or cheating) I found out very fast this was not the way i wanted to feel the rest of my life. I'm not very good at writing down my feelings so I will keep this short. My friends have been great in helping me cope with this disease and my only hope is that you all have the same. I'm 10 yrs in and I haven't givin up hope that one day food will no longer run my life, and if that day never comes.........then so be it I happy just to be able to share this.

p.s NO GRAIN NO PAIN ;)

Hi Jon, and welcome to our board. I've been gluten-free for ten months now, and wonder what it will be like in ten years. It's still hard, especially with all my other intolerances. I am glad you're doing well!

Congratulations! I'm 8 months in and still feeling like garbage. My denial wasn't bad enough to include cheating!!

I wish I would have known what was wrong with me at 19 instead of 36. It would have saved me a lot of grief and agony.

Jon, Thanks for posting this. I am 4 years into the diet and the changes have been incredible. I hope you will stick around you could give a lot of encouragement to some of the newbies that are struggling and feeling like there is no end to the changes and the misery. Welcome to the boards. My DS will be living in the Rochester area after he finishes his studies in December, he is an older student so close to your age, maybe you can clue us in on 'celiac freindly' places and things that he can do. He is a big time motor head and pool player and often is at a loss when he moves someplace new. We live a hour away and he had been going to Hennrietta to shoot billiards but hasn't found much else he can do. He has been gluten-free for 3 years and CC worries keep him kind of isolated at times.

Jon-Happy to have you on board and congratulations on your ten years! That is amazing and I'm sure you will provide much needed encouragement to all. I was dx two years ago at age 23---my first thoughts were, No midnight pizza!!!!!!!!!

And yet, we have both managed to survive. :D

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
