My oldest is going into 6th grade. He will be 11 in October. I would like to get him interested in posting here, so he could talk about how he is feeling about the diet, issues at school, etc. but so far no luck. The only other person he knows in "real life" that is gluten intolerant besides his family, is a girl who is also 10 and my friend's daughter. He can't stand to be around her. She annoys him so badly and they fight everytime they are near each other. They actually got into a physical fight on the playground (she grqabbed his shirt and pinched him hard on the back, so he kicked her in the back) and they were told not to play near each other for the rest of the year! LOL, it was two weeks before summer vacation! Certainly they don't confide in each other about how they feel about the diet. I just feel like it is important for him to have other people in the same situation who can understand how he is feeling. It just doesn't seem to be important to him right now.

God bless,

Mariann

Hi gf4life, I can't seem to find anybody on this board my same age. I am going into 6th grade as well and am going gluten-free. Maybe your son and me could PM each other, that way he'd might feel more comfortable :)

Thank you all for welcoming me to the teen boards. I guess I have alot to learn about the gluten-free diet.

I asked him and he sayed, "maybe". He is thinking about it. I'll let you know what he decides (or he will). :) He liked your Avatar though. He thought it was cool!

God bless,

He can e-mail me if he wants to. There's a bit of an age difference, but not too much and I'd be happy to talk...no pressure, though, it's fine if he'd rather not. :)

I talked to my daughter and she will soon be posting, or at least reading your posts, in this section. I just wanted to make sure it was permitted, since she is not a teenager. I am concerned that some topics might not be appropriate because I do know that sometimes topics veer off course. Not that I think there is going to be anything bad, just not appropriate for an 11 year old. I will monitor her though. I know she will enjoy hearing from other celiacs in the same (general) age group because, as I stated previously, she does not have anyone her age to talk about celiac disease with. She is not too computer savy though, so please go easy on her (haha). She will probably have a name like surfgirl or something so watch out for her!! Thanks! :P

Hey, Ben, are you Mariann's son or are you a different Ben?

Yep...those avatars :lol: ...I started with the waterfall a few weeks after I got here. A few weeks later I changed waterfalls. After a few months, I gave up on trying to find a cute, funny, or interesting avatar.... oh well, I figure that at least people know if they see a waterfall, it's probably me. With some of them, I just see the picture and I don't need to read the name...

Feel free to e-mail me! (that applies to you and anyone else)

Teku is the name of a racing team created by HotWheels and their Acceleracers movies. First I got a HotWheels toy called a hyperpod. It came with a DVD and I watched it. It was a prequel and teku was not in it. My brother got episode 1 and teku was in it. Then we got episodes 2 and 3. Which is 1 movie when you watch them together. I like teku out of 4 teams because they have the coolest cars. That weird symbol is the teku's symbol. My brother wants me to put the ninja so I will. :ph34r:

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
