Just to tell you something nice for a change :) There is gonna be a bday party at my dd nursery, and the mother of the kid met me and asked what she could eat, wrote a list and is making sure there will be a party favour and cake for her!

I couldnt believe, its not someone i know or care about, and she did just so my dd should feel included... Getting emotional at how nice people can be!!!

That is really nice! It's great to hear when people want to accomodate someone with Celiac. She sounds like a very nice person. I bet your daughter will have a great time :)

I'll tell my nice story:

My son is on the trial diet and I put him and our family on the prayer chain at work because I knew how hard it would be for him to adjust to his new diet.

An elderly woman who has a grandson with Celiac who checks her email daily, made my son a whole tin of flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies the next morning and gave us the recipe! I had my son write her a nice personal thank you note. It was such a sweet thing to do.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
