If you can stand in the middle of a candy store and not be tempted to taste even one piece for fear of spending a week trying to detox....you might be a Celiac.

Btw the top shelf liquor one is sooo true!

If you know what, and where, your duodenum is, you are very likely celiac.

Great topic, 1962! :lol:

Love it! Laughed out loud at the "if I take a sip of your soda will I catch your "bread thing".....

I'd like to add that you may be Celiac if you watch what people eat and think "you're NUTS!".

It is like watching some one intentionally eat poison :ph34r:

If you stand in line at the grocery store and look at what other people have in their shopping cart and shake you head in dismay ...........you may be celiac

This is taken from The Irish Coeliac Messageboard and is a true story, believe it or not!

Quote:

I was in College a while back, and was standing in line at the dreaded food counter, waiting to hear that inevitable question that all Coeliacs must endure "what would you like."

Ahead of me was a fellow student, and he turned to question me, "So, what are you in the mood for today.."

I replied "I wasn't sure" not wanted to blab out right away that I had unusual eating patterns!

He persisted though. "The pasta looks good!"

At this stage, I just thought I'd get it over with and said with as much gusto as I could "I'M A COELIAC".

He hesitated for a moment and replied

" Really, I'm a Saggitarian myself"!!!!

I laughed till tears came to my eyes...

Flour, Cheese, Yeast, Tomatoes, Beef, Garlic and Oregano.

you might be celiac if you did a victory dance in the isle when you found out that fruity pebbles were gluten free

you might be celiac if being hungry away from home is your worst nightmare

you might be celiac if you use tongs to hold the fish flake container when you feed your fish and then was your hands compulsively afterwards

you might be celiac if you avoid passing the bread at dinner

There's a stomach bug going around and you are actually jealous of the people with diarrhea. (true story lol)

If you have spent $200 on food just to throw $150 of it away cos it went bad.

You've told a family member they can have some of your food just to find crumbs in it the next day :/

You've told someone that you can't eat gluten and tell them how it makes you feel and they say "I think I have that too!"

You tell family members this maybe why they have some of the problems they have just for them to say "I'm not giving up my food"

If someone has offered you unsafe food and before you can respond a friend or family member shouts out "They can't eat that!!" lol

You've gotten excited and bought something you think is safe just to get home and find you forgot to check for other things it has that you are allergic too.

You're brain hits the delete button after you tell it to remember something lol

Your colon looks at laxatives like they're Flintstones vitamins.

If you have more supplements than the drugstore. lol

If people seem have a harder time with you not being able to eat anything than you do.

You're brain hits the delete button after you tell it to remember something (Just kidding!!) :lol:

And if you find you have an unlimited vocabulary for describing poop, much like the Eskimos have for "snow"

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Heavenly Flower! You're off to a good start but you can certainly branch out some. White rice is fairly devoid of nutrition. Baked potatoes with the skin (washed) would be a better choice for the starch unless, that is, you don't do well with members of the nightshade family. Yams or sweet potatoes would be even better because...

      I was just diagnosed with celiac disease after Thanksgiving. I can't imagine what all you had to do to get all the information you have, it just seems so overwhelming. I am still trying to figure it all out and don't know if the information I'm getting is correct. I have been eating only white rice and chicken breast, pork, or steak and fresh vegetables....

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Heavenly Flower!  You're off to a good start but you can certainly branch out some. White rice is fairly devoid of nutrition. Baked potatoes with the skin (washed) would be a better choice for the starch unless, that is, you don't do well with members of the nightshade family. Yams or sweet potatoes would be even better because of the beta carotene. Do you have issues with eggs and dairy? How about fresh fish? What about fresh fruit? There are also non gluten alternative grains like quinoa, buckwheat (not related to wheat) groats and sorghum that are sold by companies like Bob's Red Mill that can be used for hot breakfast cereals. Gluten free oats is also an option, though some celiacs can't do oats because the protein in them (avenin) is similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction. Gluten is found only in wheat, barley and rye.

      I was just diagnosed with celiac disease after Thanksgiving. I can't imagine what all you had to do to get all the information you have, it just seems so overwhelming. I am still trying to figure it all out and don't know if the information I'm getting is correct. I have been eating only white rice and chicken breast, pork, or steak and fresh vegetables.  Gluten free pretzels and rice cakes to snack on. But that's about it cause I don't know what I can eat it's to overwhelming.  I don't even know what symptom to look for for possible cross contamination cause I also have microscopic Colitis which has the same symptoms as celiac disease. I'm hoping at least being on this forum I can get information that will help me figure it all out. Sorry I am not able to help you and hope you get the relief you are looking for.

      @Known1, I submitted the following comment along with my contact information: "I have noticed that many food companies voluntarily include information in their ingredient/allergen label section when the product is made in an environment where cross contamination with any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA may also be likely. Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."
