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.

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
