Hi im 15 and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last week. Im getting huge cramps and feel like throwing up. I have been careful if what I've been eating (gluten, wheat, etc) and still have those symptoms. I need answers! And quick!

How were you diagnosed? What are you eating? What's your family situation like?

Check this thread for all the answers you need :-)

I would say that since you're new to the diet there is probably a hidden source of gluten that I you're still eating and don't know about, so check the hidden ingredients page. It's also been only one week, so you might be needing a little more time to start feeling better :-)

Hi 15 and Welcome!

Try going totally diary free for a month or so, as well and gluten free. If you have villi damage in your small intestines, it's difficult to digest dairy and can cause you similar symptoms as being glutened.

Most times, dairy can be reintroduced successfully after some healing can take place.

Try to eat simply and stay away from processed foods, until you get the hang of reading labels.
