Hi everyone,

I am pretty knew to this site so just thought I would say Hi and introduce myself. My name is Jen and I am 21 yrs old. I was just recently diagnosed with celiac disease about 6 weeks ago. I am still attending college for a degree in Social Work. I will have to say that going gluten free ontop of my dairy and nut allergy has been very hard and depressing. I know there are alot of alternatives out there. I have learned ALOT in this sort amount of time. What else... well I dont know how to work this site, I am trying to figure it out lol.

Well thats all for now, just wanted to say Hi and meet some people. Hopefully I can find some more support on this site.... I am starting to really need it.

Thanks for reading! :)

Hi! I'm also new, but I found out that I can ask any question, and people would try to help you. I also have allergy to nuts and dairy, and many other things. It is hard. Just today I was trying to make myself gluten-free and CF pizza from the scratch. It was :unsure::blink::o . O my God! Yuck! It is hard to cook, and not to use the REAL thing. I better stay with plain potatoes for now. Haha... :D

Welcome to you both! Hope you find lots of valuable information here, I know I did.

As for gluten-free baking, it is an animal all of its own. You'll get the hang of it, just keep working at it. :D

Hi Jen!

I'm Heather, and I'm new too. I was diagnosed via an elimination diet about 3 weeks ago. I am learning too, and this site has been the source of most my knowledge! The people on here are great. Kind, caring, and spiffy quick with their responses to our burning questions!

Enjoy the boards and good luck to you! O, and welcome!

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      Am I nuts?

      Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone.

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—
