Oh, I see, cool. I thought there would be some simple meaning behind it, but I didn't know what it was . Thanx for answering.

Nobody's asking me to do anything, but I'm inserting all the "emoctions" anyway, lol

When in doubt, check the forbidden list: https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-46105547579.c5

or the safe list: https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-46105547579.c5

and if you are searching for something, do ctrl and f, pulling up a "find" box. Then you can type in the word you're looking for and if you're not sure of the spelling, just do, for example, "soy L"

I don't have all those smilies as an option, like the bashful one with hearts above its head and the sleepy one. Do you have to do something special to get those?

I am 11 and very new to this whole thing. Don't know if I have celiac disease, just had a blood test and it takes 2 weeks to come back. My mom tested negative but can't eat anything with gluten in it. I feel the same way she does when I eat it. So I will probably never eat it again even if the test is negative. It is nice to know there are other kids like me. :P . Most kids dont understand. It is hard when someone offers me something I can't eat but want to :(

Were you gluten free at the time of testing? If you were not on gluten then the results may not come back right. I am glad that you feel better on the diet so you should continue to stick to it. There is so much stuff that you can have that your friends can have too so it won't be as hard when you get used to it and find things :D

Not a teenager ( :o since too long to mention) and my son Ty who was just diagnosed with celiac disease won't be a teenager for almost 7 years!

I'm just posting to say there are young celiac disease kids out there, we don't know any of them though ;)

I'm 10 but i'm almost 11. My mom can't have gluten and neither can my sister. I got tested and the results haven't come back yet but i can't eat anything with gluten in it for the time being :( . i hate it cause half the things i eat have gluten in them and i luv them soo much. I have been feeling better since ive stopped eating it. One of my symtoms was gas. Sometimes it was so painful i had to stay home from school. I had diarrhea with it and was doubled over when it was really bad. But since i went gluten-free i havent had any gas! I ws wondering do any of u guys have the same symptoms as me? Or any other symptoms...

Absolutely. As your intestines heal they become more sensitive to gluten...and are less accustomed to it, yielding a more painful reaction when you do accidentally ingest gluten.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
