i've been diagnosed with celiac for god knows how long and the last time i had wheat was 2 months ago. it's so friggin hard and all, i mean people make fun of you and stuff, i have 1 friend, i hardly ever talk to people, i mean REALLY talk to people. and i guess my life just kinda sucks. i used to be really popular, but then everyone found out i had celiac and partial epilepsy and things just sorta went downhill. people started saying bad things about me, i mean thing that i will never forget for as llong as i live.

my friend is always telling me not to give up and how every1 at my new school sees me as a overly happy and charismatic person and that i should keep it up, but i'm really depressed at heart and it's becoming almost too much to keep it back and not tell anyone. I just don't see how i'll ever be popular again, though that doesn't really matter anymore.

I would've gone down anyways i guess, i mean i'm really strange. the way i bring snails and lizards to school and say hi to people i don't know and cry at people i've barely know's problems.

it's just too hard to keep it all in and be, well, normal.

especially when i got celiac haunting me.

anyways. back on happy topic. Hellos to everyone. i'm new here....

a wittle bit about me -- my friend calls me stargirl, i guess cause i'm like her. I'm 13 and i live in california. I'm an artist to start off, of all sorts. I draw and enter in shows at my local art center and i've sold a piece. Other art forms i do -- martial arts, writing, photography, and i dance though i'm horrible. I loves animals. I've had thousands of birds, lizards, ect.... but right now i own one beta fish, AquaFlame, 2 leopard geckos, Gieco and Rugziel, one bearded dragon, Dargo, and one dog (sha-pei lab mix) Nerys.

Favorites

movie: Pay it Forward

book: pendragon, harry potter, warriors, but overall favorite the 2 inkspells!

color:black and green

friend: melia

dream: i wanna be a graphic designer

TV show: eureka

Band:Green day

Song: boulevard of broken dreams, bad day, and i dunno the name but it goes "staring at the ceiling making friends with shadows on the wall.....i'm not crazy i'm just a little unwell, i know right now you can't tell, but stay a while maybe then you'll see a different side of me. i'm not crazy i'm just a little impared i know right now you don't care, but stay a while maybe then you'll see how i used to be."

Hey stargirl! I just felt like posting in something... You don't need to be so depressed. Actually, a lot of what your probably feeling is probably hormones. (hey, my parents are nurses. cant help it...) I'm sure your a great person and that you shouldn't seem to be who you aren't. I think it's bad for the mental health.... Or something like that... ;)

Brains can't fly. It's scientifically proven.... hehehe.... Well, all I'm going to say is, I'm a lot like you in the fact that most people see me as happy. (NOT PREPPY!!! NOOOO!!! SAVE ME!!) Sometimes I'm not happy, but I have Mood Swings. (I have a red shirt with the tazmanian devil on it that says mood swings...) Just remember, you have friends here!

my brain DOES FLY!!!! it has small engines at the base and inertia dampeners to soften the landings.

that thought makes me happy.

((you'll find i say that alot))

i'm glad you're not preppy. i have nightmares about cheerleaders running towards me with machine guns.

i'll remember that my friend! :)

Ah, well. TAKE THAT, MODERN SCIENCE! (Just had to do it...) Cheerleaders scare me. So do carebears, but that is a WHOLE other story.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
