I want to have people who understand me and know what I am going throuhg and understand what I am feeling. I think that all celic kids can help me. I apologise for any of my weird replies that you might get from me. I still am trying to figure out how to work this thing. Feel free to e-mail me with any tips. I have a lot of questions.

LOL...I felt that way when I first came here and the "teenagers only" section was comprised of 17-19 year olds with the occasional 16 yr. old.

I was 13! excuse me!

Jkjk I really know how you feel, when I first came to the board I was like the only kid on it and I was like 11-12 I think, I'm not sure. I'm glad more teenagers came to the boards!

I saw in one post that someone was 7... I had to look at it twice. Maybe it was a typo. I think it was in the recent thread where someone asked for help with a survey for medical school or something

I am not a teen, but I am checking in because I was not sure my 11 year old could post here. I do see some of you are not yet teens. My daughter does not have ANYONE in her life who is a celiac and I think this would benefit her. However, I do not want to break any of the rules of the forum by letting her post in this section if she is not supposed to. Is there a section for younger children that I am missing? Tommorrow is her last day of fifth grade. Does anything come up here that would not be age-appropriate? Thanks!

I allowed my daughter to post here. I saw nothing in the membership rules about age

New Board Guidelines/Rules

Welcome to Celiac.com's new message board/forum! If you were already registered to use our site's old board you will need to re-register here in order to be able to make posts. Our new board uses completely new technology which greatly surpasses our old board, and we hope that you make full use of its new features, including the ability to chat directly with individual board users.

Also note that message board/forum registration is not the same as registering at Celiac.com. You must register here on the board page in order to use the boards.

Note that if your browser or firewall is set to not accept all cookies you may not be able to post on the boards.

Below are the basic rules of the board. Generally speaking users who break these rules will get two warnings, and if there is a third rule violation they will be banned from the boards. Serious board violations can result in an immediate ban. The rules are as follows:

* Do not be abusive or otherwise out of line towards other board members. Show respect for each board member, no matter what you think of their post(s). This is not a place to quarrel.

* Do not promote your own business, Web site or products.

* Do not spam the boards (i.e., post the same thing in multiple topics or areas of the board to bring more attention to your post).

She was nervous about her biopsy procedure and felt very comforted by everybodies kind words. I do not know what would be age appropiate in dealing with a disease called celiac, it spans all ages, and message boards/support groups can help children, teens, adults to deal with issues surrounding it. If somebody has an issue with an 11 year old asking questions or desiring support here, it should not be called an open forum. An alternative is to have a section for the preteens, they need support too.

I don't see any reason why she couldn't post :D

Oh, of course she can post. We were just surprised (positively) that someone of such a young age would taken such an active interest in this. :)

It would be cool not to be among the youngest here :lol:;)

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
