Hi I'm New, The Forum, Not To Celiac!

Hello *waves*

I'm 15, and gluten free for six years, but only JUST found this forum!

I homeschool in Massachusetts, at least, that's where I live right now. We move, a lot, due to my dad's job. I tried public high school, but just wasn't for me. Why is it people need to tease you about your lunch that you bring from hoe every day, and that fact that you have vitiligo and thus your skin isn't all one color, that fact you move a lot on things like that? People can be so cruel!

I love to cook, which is very helpful! My mo is celiac as well as me. I invent recipes ALL the time! I.E. tonight i made fried chicken with ramono and garlic in it, YUM! It doesn't have that 'beany' taste!

Uh, I have two dogs and two cats, and, as of right now, 16 fish! I LOVE horses, I ride English style, and love jumping.

Can't think of anything else... uh...

Oh!

Fav movies: Butterfly Effect, A Beautiful Mind, Monty Python movies, National Treasure

Fav bands: Barenaked Ladies, Great Big Sea, Weird Al, Jack's Mannequin

Fav food: gluten-free pasta, french fries, gluten-free chicken noodle/rice soup

And I'm a TOTAL geek :)

Hey Tori

Glad that you FINALLY found us! :rolleyes:

We have lots of teens here and they love to chat. I'm glad that you love to cook and here on this site we have some really drop dead recipes. You have alot to explore here.

My daughters rode English also. They got involved in combined training and loved it. Girls and horses are special.

Well, welcome to us and glad to meet cha.

Wow! We have lots in common.

1.) I have a dog and cats (5 not 2 though)

2.) The Butterfly Effect is one of my fave movies, along with National Treasure and some of the Montie Python Movies

3.) BNL is like my favorite band, + weird al is awesome (I liked him even before white and nerdy came out)

4.) My favorite foods are exactly the same

5.) I also LOVE horses, and ride English, though I haven't ridden in a while due to my health. I used to be in Pony Club (I dont know if you've heard of it but they do jumping and English and lots more) I have 4 horses, but one of them is at a therapeutic riding center.

6.) I am a total geek, but I like Dr.Who better than stargate

Feel free to pm me

Just an old lady here but when I was in high school (seems like eons ago) I got picked on because I brought my own lunch as well..... I brought it because it was cheaper then buying one from the school and my family was poor.

Anyone can be cruel at times even the perfect people.... remember the expirience... when you see some poor soul on the street and have the opportunity to either make fun of them or help them... maybe you cant afford a quarter to help them buy something to eat but maybe you have a kind word instead, those cost nothing.

Weird Al still sings?!?!?!?! B) dang wouldn't have figured he was still around let alone making parodies still, lol

BNL yuppers like them (even if I am an old lady, lol)

3 dogs 2 cats (but just bought 9 acres so plan on expanding that number, lol and it will include a horse or 2 I am sure, lol)

Hi,

I'm new to the forum but not new to celiac disease as well. I was dianosed @ 6 and I am now 16. Hey, I'm homeschooled too! I was all of kindergarden, 1/2 of the first grade, then my family moved and found a really great Christian school, went there the second 1/2 of first grade and all of second grade, then from third grade on I have been homeschooled. I LOVE to cook as well. I must say that Rachel Ray is my favorite movie star :lol: My mom and I are gluten free, but my dad and brother aren't, so I cook both ways but lean more toward the gluten-free. I think the laugh is on those kids who were making fun of you because you brought your lunch, caf. food is really bad! Who wants mystery meat when you can eat homemade everyday?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

      Issues before diagnosis

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia. going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 9...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
