I 'm having one of those weeks. But seriously, i don't know anyone who has celiac. My friends try to understand but yet they still forget and eat donuts in front of me and offer me some. Im not mad at them or anything. I know i have to deal with those kinds of situations but idk .

Also my parents always make cookies and pizzas, and i get so sick to my stomach but i don't want to complain. They have to eat too.

Sorry for venting. like i said don't know anyone who'd understand

Missnbagels,

I totally understand what you are going through. The other day my brother made chocolate chip cookies (with wheat flour) and I almost died...they smelled so good! But he ended up burning them, so I wasn't too jealous!

As far as friends go, it is really difficult. Last night I went to a party and they kept offering me cake and sandwiches!! They all know of my gluten issue, but they choose to ignore it. I am not saying that they need to make me gluten-free food, but don't offer me gluten food 100 times in a night.

If you ever want to talk, you can feel free to PM me.

It's a bummer. Vent all you want to.

Do you still live at home???? I would have some gluten free goodies just incase so you don't feel left out when they're eating reg ones! That has saved me sometimes!

Good Luck!

Yeah i do live at home

I have food for me but it doesn't bother me that they have those foods, like pizzas and cookies, because i have those also. But i have problems smelling strong smelling foods like cookies browies, pizzas, etc. So when they have those foods, i can't go anywhere to get away from the smell. then i get sick to my stomach

so it's frusterating.

i know how you feel girl. i dont live at home but i do live with 4 guys that are HUNGRY and they dont have celiac so they are ALWAYS eating yummy foods, cake, cookies, biscuts and gravy, breakfast burritos, etc.. it kills me! its hard bc they dont understand.. i basically drool over their food while they eat lol. i just go and grab something else that i know i can eat and pretend it tastes the same.. haha doesnt work. thats why im glad i found this forum because no one i know has celiac disease. but its ok. im just waitin for the day that every restuarant has a gluten free menu ha. one day! :rolleyes:

Hey, I am Allie. I am new. I just want to say I know how you feel. I don't know anyone with celiac either. In the begining I stuck to the diet for several years, wouldn't even touch breads and stuff. Everyone always offers(d) me things and it was just annoying. The past 2-3 years I havent really watched what I have been eating. Which I don't reccomend. It got to me after a while, especially after seeing everyone eat whatever they want. But all in all I know how you feel. Though My friends were good with it. My one friend always made new cookies of her own for me =) my other friend would try my Gluten-free snacks with me. The Gluten-free snacks are pricey i admit, but I have things you can make from your kitchen. If anyone ever wants to talk, let me know. I'm 17, going on 18 on feb 5. Thanks for reading all that! Bye.

hey! so growing up i never knew anyone who had celiac disease, or even a food allergy. back in the day they didn't have any kid support group events so I would go to the regular meetings with my mom. in this particular group, all the people in the group were over the age of 60 and had several other problems as a result of a late diagnosis. as i got older ROCK started to form and so i would go to some of those events when we could.

I defintely suggest looking into finding some sort of group in your area and checking it out. even if they are older than you it still helps to be able to have a meal and not worry about anything and know that there are others out there.

When I moved to tallahassee this year it was so nice, because while I do answer the same stupid questions from people and have to reject food and trips to subway, so many more people have heard of it before, and a large majority of people i have met know something about celiac, and i've met a few that have it.

but everyone on here is here for you. they are soo willing to answer any questions and listen and complain with you, so feel free to complain haha..

WHY AREN'T THERE ANY KID SUPPORT MEETINGS IN FLORIDA!!!! Sorry, needed to get that out. There are none within a three-hour drive, and even the reg ones are far... <_< Kinda frusterating. Only a couple of my friends understand. (A couple meaning two.) I don't hardly know any adults with celiac, let alone kids! Unless you count here on the forum... Then I know a few... But none personally. I wish I did. It'd be great to know another girl or boy in Fl my age...

Hey! i know i went to a kids meeting or two a while ago..it was when i was in middle school..so im not sure what the age group is or if they even meet anymore, i can call my mom back home and ask her if she has heard anything about a kids group meeting. we usually had to drive around 45 minutes to get to a meeting.

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
