Hi! I am the son that SomaDee was talking about....

wow thanks a lot lol. yea like i said, ive got my own apartment and stuff in Polo Club, just off campus. And i love the stadium, thats one reason im going there haha. but thanks for the information on the dining halls, i had a hard time eating at orientation which completely put to rest my fear of living off campus without a meal plan.

oh and just so you and whoeverelse might know, when i contacted FSU about arranging food and such for me, they said that they could arrange it, but i would have to meet with them once a week to plan when and what i wanted to eat. they didnt promise clean equipment, and i had to bring my own food. When I asked about having a private kitchen and bathroom, they said they might be able to put me into a townhouse-type dorm or the student family dorms. that means i would of either been in a place with couples and people with kids, or in a townhouse with all upperclassmen.

but i forgive them for their mistakes because i love tallahassee and fsu so much and cant wait to go there.

thanks again for the info.

Hi, I and my wife are from Pensacola, FL, and both have Celiac's... unfortunately, mine manifested with itchy inflamed spots of skin that make me miserable.

However, my whole family has it, my Grandmother was diagnosed with Gluten Enteropathy YEARS ago, for as long as I've known she has subsisted on rice cakes, corn , and the like. Only now are we being blessed with normal tasting alternatives for her, and us. So, as more and more of us show symptoms, or just leave wheat behind to avoid it, we swap recipes very very often.

This year, we're gonna aim for as many Gluten Free choices as we can. We've noticed that the new lack of processed foods in our diet has been great, the food is actually so much better, and not feeling sick is GREAT. Not to mention the weight loss.

But anyway, if you're from the Panhandle area, hit me up, I'd LOVE to talk.

In the panhandle too. Got a Dr appointment tommorow with a Dr from Pensacola, we meet in Navarre though. Your lucky to have Everman's I'm sure, I haven't made it there yet. We have a brand new support group here in Fort Walton Beach if your interested. Let me know!

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
