Hey my name is Jacqui And I am 17 from Idaho. I am have had Celiacs for about a year now but iamnew to the site. I got contaminated a few days ago. My stomach feels like crap. What do I do. Is there any home remedies or do i just wait it out?

I cant believe that this site has a place for teens. It is nice to knowthat i ma not alone. Some times at my school it sucks because I can nver eat from the Cafeteria, I always have to brig my lunch and my friends dont understand. I mean they saythey do but they have no clue. If I get teased about how I am inconvient to them about eating at their favorite resturant The Olive Garden one more tiem I swear I am going ot scream. I mean i know that they are justjoing but like I dont have it hard enough. Dont they think that i want to eat their to. Wel actually honestly i dont really miss it but whatever. I found out that non f there food is fresh and that everything is packaged. Who wants to eat theat anyway. Sorry about the rant , i guess that it is just nice to let i out to people that actually understand. So please write ot me that would be so cool to here from people like me. Talk to you later.

From Jacqui.

I know what you mean. i have to bring my own lunches everyday too. my friends say they understand and they acknowledge it but they are still constantly asking me if i want some of their cookies, or pizza, or crackers and all that stuff and i feel like yelling at them to quit offering me. when ever my stomach feels upset i always either sip cold soda, or hot gluten-free soup. It settles my stomach. so yah if you want to talk any time feel free

First off, that really sucks that you got contaminated :(

When I get contaminated I try to eat alot of the stuff I'm allowed(rice, potatoes, fruit) and drink a TON of water. I sometimes feel sicker when I do that but it seems to pass faster...only a couple days. I've only tried this once but it seems to have worked. good luck :)

I seem to be getting contaminated a lot more (as most of you read in my rants about the college I go to). When I get contaminated I try to eat light foods, because whenever I'm in pain, the more I eat (of gluten-free) the more pain I'm in and the longer the side effects last (Although, sometimes, I end up not eating at all for a day or 2 because its too severe). I drink a lot of tea or coffee or milk (i'm not a fan of water lol), because contamination for me = diarrhea, so I keep myself hydrated. Hope this helps.

I am so happy that this site is for teens, but I am a mom of a freshman at college and she is awaiting her results and would just die to know I am asking other teens or young adults this question regarding college stuents. I know you can advise the college and they can help you with the inschool food service program. My daughter is quite convinced as so am I that she is gluten intollerant. How do you handle the late night snacks the drinking, the i want pizza and the late night wawa food runs for college students. I would like to say that this all doesn't happen, but I would be very unrealistic in believing that these things don't happen the first year of college. I can send up some snacks, but those minifridges/micowave don't leave much room. Eating is always a problem the first and second year of college, never mind be diagnosed with celiac disease. Anyone have any advise for first year college stuents who love pizza and junk food and don't want to stand out from the other kids?

I can understand how terrible getting contaminated can be. Don't lose hope - you will learn as you go forward and things get easier. You can always come to this site when you have questions or frustrations. Good luck, and know that you are not alone!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
