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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
