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.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
