Hi Tyrone and welcome,

I'm not a teen, but I have a suggestion. If you think it's food related, begin a food diary. Write down everything that you eat and then record your reaction. That might help narrow down so maybe you can pinpoint a certain food that makes you feel ill.

I would also look into getting a metabolic blood panel to check on all your mineral and vitamin levels. When they are off you can get the type of symptoms that you are having.

I've had problems with joint pain...and sometimes weakness and twitching. Since going gluten free I don't have problems with weakness or twitching, so gluten might be the problem.

isit possible to have a intolarance?

I've never had stomach problems, even before I was diagnosed, so yes, it is possible.

That is very hard when your parents don't support you! Do they know the effects it's causing you, or how damaging it is to your body? Maybe a little education will help them understand more. You can get a lot of good resources right from this website.

Hey!

It looks like an intolerance to me though I have the stomach issue. I hope everything works out and pray that your parents will come around soon. I'm 18 and it took my parents four years to fuly adjust, I hope yours understand the effcts of the intolerance if that is what you have. The joint pain and such are the same symptoms I had so you sound to be on the right track.

Best of Luck,
