Hi-o. I'm under my mum's account but i'm going to get my own as soon as i can figure it out. I've been gluten-free since March. I'm also lactose intolerant. I just turned 12 and no one I know has Celiac (well, except for a boy in my grade but I don't really know him and we aren't friends). One of my friends (a pen pal, really) is being tested but she doesn't have her results yet. I'd really like to just be able to talk with kids my own age sometimes about being gluten-free. By the way, my fave ice cream is Turtle Mountain...we get it at WholeFoods and I love Pamela's gluten-free bread mix. It's really REALLY yummy. (especially with raisins and cinnoman...mmm mmm good!) :lol:

Hiya!

My name is Ashley and I'll be 16 in a few months. I'm lactose-introlerant and a Celiac too. Wow! It's amazing you actually have another Celiac in your grade! I'm searching at my highschool to see if there's any other Celiacs out there, but, no luck. Oy, Pamela's bread mix IS the absolute best. If ya need anyone to talk to me, I'm here :) Feel free PM me. I'll be hoping the best for you, it is a hard situation to be in sometimes.

Lol, that'd be great! I love the cake mixes too...tastes just like a chocolate cake to me!

Sure enough! I haven't been able to take lessons yet, but, I really do want to go into the Air Force as a pilot or a doctor. I'm praying for a waiver for celiac disease so I can get in. I'm in JROTC right now. My boyfriend and I are big aviation freaks! :lol:

We have the AFJROTC at our highschool = Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp. You learn drill, marching, and other ceremony movements and activities. We also have Special teams (Saber, Color Guard, and Drill Team), Kitty Hawk Air Society and some others. In my opinion, it's not a hard class. You do have to be dedicated to taking care of your uniform (which is worn every Wednesday) and other things, but, it's a great class.

Ooo, never tried Namaste's. I'll have to look for it.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      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:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
