Hi I just discovered this site

How do you guys live the gluten free life? It's hard for me. I became a vegetarian at 12, and in November 2011 I found out I was gluten intolerant (I'm 14 now). It's not celiac, but just an intolerance.

I try not to make a big deal about it. Cross contamination doesn't bother me. Like if I consume a crumb of gluten it won't kill me. When I go out to eat (super difficult) I just get a salad and ask for it without croutons...

The problem is my family isn't supportive of it. My mom discourages me to be vegetarian. I cooking own meals...lentils, beans, nuts, dairy products, tofu (i make myself eat it). Now if I can find some gluten free mock meats that would be wonderful (all of them are stocked full of gluten). Plus my family doesn't eat gluten free..,or vegetarian. The ony gluten-free stuff they buy for me is oatmeal and granola/cereal (cause it's so expensive). I eat that stuff like its gold.

It's hard with parties and stuff too. People will have gluten free stuff for me. Or when I go to a friends house or pizza party, there's a gluten free pizza for me or they will have to make everything gluten free. I feel so bad. Anyone else feel this way?

Sorry for the rants.

Sage, don't every be sorry for the rants here. We get it. It's an allowed place for ranting okay? Well, it seems to me that when you go to parties or friends & they have these gluten free food stuffs for you that they are being very considerate & supportive of you! There are tons of folks on this board who would think they had died & gone to heaven to have ppl taking their dietary needs into consideration like that. Mostly we get ppl complaining that others don't understand their dietary needs & indeed make fun of them or try to get them to eat gluten. Honey, I surely wouldn't feel bad with friends like that. Tell them thank you! Yours is a generation anyway where lots of ppl your age & younger are having all kinds of different allergies, sensitivities to foods. They understand & it's not weird to them; certainly not like us old farts wink.gif & our generation.

I don't know of any gluten-free mock meats but I bet someone else on this board will have some suggestions for you.

Welcome to the board Sage! BTW, LOVE your name!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
