Celiac Game

I've been thinking for some time that I wanted to take on a little coding project at home, since my current work tasks have exercised zero of my coding skills. Originally, the thought was to do something along the lines of Open Original Shared Link, but better at keeping track of recipes, since there's so much cooking from scratch on this diet (my take on this diet, anyway). But then someone posted that cute little game for identifying hidden gluten in the kitchen, and there were comments on it being a great start, but missing so much, and I thought... hey, there's a coding project!

So, the thought that I had was to come up with an online game - or series of games - that teaches about the disease. It could be like the game that is already up on that site, it could be more like a quiz type thing, it could be more like a board game, it could be more like a puzzle game... I just don't know yet.

What I'd like the most help with is figuring out what sort of information should it cover? If you were new to the disease, what would you want to see? If you were moderately familiar with it? What would you find helpful or fun to see in an educational game? Any ideas or suggestions would be great!

Very cool... uhh, I don't know where to start. Just saying that it's great that you'll do something like that for us and keep us posted! I'll sleep on this one.

Oh...if you do something similar when it comes to reading labels, you should have a few options, maybe like: gluten-free, not gluten-free, or phone the company. Also, maybe say that you have to say each ingredient is gluten-free or not, so it's methodical (or make the person identify the questionable and non-gluten-free ingredients.

I'll still think some more on this one.

What a neat idea, when I first read the subject line my thought was board game... :P I'm not sure I know what you mean by coding?

I could visualize a kitchen where you could point and click on different items to identify possible gluten and contamination risks... am I on the right track?? :blink:

For instance, in a shared kitchen, the coffee pot being too close to the "bad" toaster... recipe cards and books dusted with wheat flour...? That sort of thing that people may not consider.

Hope this helps! :D

what a geek I am ;-)

"coding" means writing a computer program. :-) I'd use Java (a programming language) so it was able to play over the 'net on anyone's operating system.

If you are embarking on a project like this, could you please make it work in metric units as well as the feet, inches, pounds and ounces etc. still being used in the USA! (and use killojoules instead of calories!)

I find grams, litres, millimeters, meters etc a whole lot easier to calculate.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
