Hey

i love music too.. i was in a choir from age 7 to 14 and i had some amazing experiences :) i play the guitar, keyboard and i used to play the flute but the teacher had a go at me for being tired after half hour lessons saying i didnt practice enough even though i did at least half hour every night. (i couldnt help it .. i was always tired not just in her lessons).. i decided i didnt need people like that and i felt a lot better without her persistant nagging. I am hoping to buy a flute of my own one day so that i can teach myself how to play.

i can speak welsh and a little french and my favourite subjects are art and geography.

I love children.. especially my niece and nephew :).

I also love phantom of the opera.

I Love kids too! My god-sister (who also happens to be my 3rd cousin) is expecting her first child. It's a Boy! :D Hopefully he'll call me Auntie Lur. I have three little cousins who are 8 1/2, 4 1/2, and 3. I love getting to spend time with them. I really enjoy teaching the 2 and 3 year old Bible class at church, it is so much fun to watch them try to sing all the songs and tell their fav part of the story :lol:

Welcome to the forum :)

Its hard at first, especially if you dont feel a reaction,(because its harder to see how somethings effecting you) but it gets easier, all it takes is perseverance will power and support. If your freinds get cookies and things like that ask them politely not to eat them right infront of you for a while and dont go through the canteen if you can avoid it (take food from home if possible). That way the temptation isnt there anymore and your less likely to cheat.

Carry gluten-free chocolate around with you so that everytime you feel like cheating you can munch on that instead, beleive me your body will thank you for it! We are all here for you and you can message me anytime your finding it hard or if you just want to chat. good luck. :)

hey all. been diagniosed in 2004. i'm 18 and from Australia. I like to play Rugby union for my club and unit (3 RAR), that's about all the free time i get! Training and drills are most of my time, although i get to use the base's computers for about an hour each day.

Hey buddy I sent you an email saying this

I'm currently completing the ADF recruitment process (applying for General Service Officer Part-time Reserve) and have attended a YOU session and submitted my medical questionnaire.

Due to my Coeliac disease I have been classified as Class 4 - permanently unfit for service. Though I am currently compiling an appeal as my only symptom of the disease is mild bloating which I do not believe will interfere with any duties I may be required to undertake during service (especially considering I am applying for the reserves).

Does anyone out there know what the chances are of a Coeliac successfully appealing an unwarrented medical classification? I understand that there are Cealiacs who are active members of the ADF who only became diagnosed after their recruitment.

If the appeal process is unlikely to succeed what other options are available? Is it possible that the medical questionnaire and associated files are discarded after a certain period of time and I will be able to reapply then without including the unnessecary complication of the Coeliac condition? (I understand that if I did not disclose that I have cealiac disease in the questionnaire than it would not not have been an issue as the standard medical examinations do not test for the disease.)

Thanks in advance for any help in this situation, I'm determined to prevent my negligently mild condition from influencing my career.

Aaron

Hope you can help me out mate,

Cheers

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi Belle Oops! Can you eat burgers OK? So many of them have added cereal to pad them out. Hope the after-effects are not too bad? I'm OK. Here in SE UK we are having a mini heatwave. 35° today. Keeping cool as much as possible to prevent itching from the heat. Otherwise not too bad thanks. Dapsone 100mg proving much better than 50mg....

      How is everyone? I made a silly mistake and chose HP (brown) sauce on my burger at a BBQ at the weekend. Hope everyone is okay.

      Hi @suek54 Good point. I hesitated over what to choose to eat - there were burgers and sausages and I knew that each came with potential wheat possibility. It was my friend who was cooking the BBQ at a local event. It's so tricky, isn't it? I ended up going for the burger and stupidly didn't think about the brown sauce but knew something gluten-containing had been consumed as my legs were itching all over for hours when I went to bed on Sunday. Arrgh!  Actually, my initial thought was corn on the cob as I had that too... and it grows near wheat. Could it also have been that? Are you able to eat that?  I agree with you about the heat, I am finding it tricky too especially at night. I have had 3 itchy nights in a row and am at this point thinking I was silly not to ask about Dapsone at my derm appointment but maybe things will calm down now I am back on being more in control of my food. I also have some more topical steroid coming and that does keep it under control. I plan to visit my son in Scotland for a few days in July so am going to see how things go for a few weeks and if the itch does not calm again, I will do an e-consult with my GP and request Dapsone to try (or something that might just help a bit over that holiday, or longer term). I really don't relish the thought of being in Itch Hell on holiday, just want to enjoy seeing my son and his girlfriend.  So pleased to read that you are feeling more comfortable on the higher dose. I am really pleased for you and long may it continue for you.

Still a few itchy patches but no spots as such. Making life easier.  How are you generally (when not eating brown sauce)? Sue
