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.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
