Hi all! ^_^

I was browsing google and I found this nice forum, I noticed everyone on the forum lives in the UK or USA.

I'm from the Netherlands but I decided to register and read some of the posts, I probebly won't post very much but I will read allot of posts.

Some personal info:

I'm Ricco from the Netherlands, I'm 16 years old and I'm glutenfree for 7 years now.

I felt really depressed for a while but I think that's over now, I always keep my diet and I'm feeling great.

Thank you for making this great forum, I'm off to read some more posts!

Welcome Ricco!

I am sure you'll make lots of new friends and get some good advice and recipes from the forum.

PS, I'm Canadian. There are a few Aussies and Kiwis, too. Just have to look a bit harder for them, they are few and far between. I think you're the first Dutch poster, though.

Hi Ricco, and welcome to this forum!

In case you don't know what Aussies and Kiwis are :blink: : Aussies are people from Australia, and Kiwis from New Zealand.

I also live in Canada, but I am German. By the way, your English is excellent, no need to apologize for it!

There are also people here from France, I think somebody is in Japan, one person I thought was from Mexico........there might be others who are around, but don't post.

So, we are pretty international. Don't be shy about posting about your experiences, and asking questions. And if you post in the Teenagers section, you can even make friends your own age!

Hi Ricco! Glad you found us!

You probably are an old pro at the gluten-free diet, being on it for seven years, but if anything you read sheds some light for you, just ask away! Don't be shy, our motto is there is no such thing as a stupid question.....

There's a great bunch of people on here.

Again, welcome!

Hi Ricco! I am a 36 year old mother who is Celiac and my two daughters aged 4 and 6 are Celiac also. We have some very good friends of ours that are Dutch physicians and they live in Almelo, Netherlands. My husband actually lived in Amsterdam for 6 months before we got married so we have a handful of Dutch friends that we still talk too. We hope to visit them when our daughters are a little bit older. Take care!!

Ricco---

Welcome to the board! We are happy to have you join us, no matter where you are from! Unfortunately, Celiac is a worldwide problem.

I think your English is wonderful! Would be interested in hearing how you were diagnosed (and how the health systems are similar/different across nations).

Let us know if we can help in any way!

Hi Ricco,

Welcome on the forum! I'm not Dutch but I live in the Netherlands as well. :) Have you also found the Dutch discussion board on www.coeliakieforum.nl? I don't usually post much because writing Dutch takes me so much time but I read it and it's very useful for new products etc.

Oooh Ricco. You Dutch people have a great weay to make native English people feel inadequate. I wish my French was half as good as your "broken English".

I'm only down in Paris .... practically down the street :D

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
