Margret is absolutely right about the college issue, but I would go to the college first. When my DD went to college they put her in senior housing in a private room with a small kitchenette even though she was a freshman because that was the only way to accomadate her needs. If you are in college the first thing I would do is talk to your advisor and the folks who set up your housing. They can and will help. We also got refunded the money for the meal plan as they could not safely feed her.

Okay, I do agree...

If you can take care of it with your RA's/RD's in quick order, absolutely. If it takes you months-years to go through the proper channels, then no...no...cross them off quickly. Food is good. I've seen too many folks caught up in too much time to be patient about this.

I moved off campus this year, but didn't know I had celiac disease. My room mates not only don't care about my situation but keep putting brownies, pizza, donuts, sandwiches in my face. They think it is a total joke. Our landlord wont let me back out of the lease.

:) Hi--I was where you are not too long ago and had to pull myself together and attack this whole thing like I was fighting a battle--and it is a war, I know. Start from the beginning, keep a food journal and go to basics like white rice, bananas, plain meats. As you add new foods, wait a few days, record your symptoms, and you will find what is giving you problems. Get a good probiotic that is gluten-free,sf,df and take it every day. There is HOPE--don't give up! It is worth the effort for the reward of feeling good! Check out the thread "Potatoes are the problem" too, and see if maybe there are any problems you have with the nightshades or high oxalate foods. Keep strong and take care. Robbin

Oh Ali, I am so sorry about your roomies, that is awful. you really do not need that. I could not come up there or I would be giving those jerks a piece of my mind - but hey wait a few years, their ignorance will cost them... do not think that all that gluten is not killing them - although they may not look like it... Would your mom be willing to visit & give her opinion... I am serious I would lose my cool... Please do not think that the roomies are friends they are not - they are immature morons... for people like that you need to avoid them as much as possible...

I think you just need some cooking lessons - we can all help you. All you need is a board across two crates - heck I cooked on that for a year when I was between kitchen cabinets.

It would be perfect for you to have a crock pot, a rice cooker & an electric skillet, & with the toaster - you are set. You cannot survive without cooking for yourself - period. I forget do you have a refrig in your room? I think you have the offer of a crock pot - just PM her your addy. I just got back from Austin, but if you need me to help you with an electric skillet, I will be happy to do that. that stuff is so cheap at Target or Walmart. If your mom has one - do not use it if it is a non-stick as it could have CC... really you can cook almost everything you need in a crockpot...

I have a celiac school teacher friend in the area, I will email her to see her exact location & if she knows anyone at the Lubbock group. Have you talked to francis in Austin, remember I gave you her phone number... I think my group leader is on vacation, but I will email her about Lubbock. I don't have anything to do, guess I could start driving up there weekends & start a new group :o

in the meantime eat some applesauce & your turkey on corn tortillas & a peeled apple & a banana, close the door to your room & make a mean face to the roomies

did your brothers get tested? has your mom read any of the books - Is she behind you offering support???

when I was in college, and wanted to cook my own meal (before I was celiac) but wanted to use good cookware, I got a farberware electric skillet. I'd run a cord out to the dorm courtyard, and cook outside. :) worked great, and you can cook almost anything in that thing.

Also, consider purchasing a small microwave oven. I recently bought one on sale at Target for $30.00. Keep an eye on the Sunday ads for a good price.

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
