what to say in the face of insensitive comments
Ciglee replied to healthysquirrel's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Don’t let your illness define you. If you talk about it all the time, yeah, people will not want to be around you. People can be sympathetic, but eventually they lose interest. No one wants to talk about your illness all day. Really. They don’t. You are the one pushing people away with the constant talking about your illnesses. -
You don’t have celiac, move on.

Blood test interpretation

See a doctor. Don’t self diagnose. -
The test for celiac came back negative. You don’t have celiac. Move on.

ARCHIVED How Many People Are Actually Self-diagnosed?
Ciglee replied to no-more-muffins's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
NO ONE says that you can't have celiac disease..no one says that you don't have a food allergy or intolerance...but for people on this website that declare they have celiac disease..without being tested..or doing the entrolab thing...is ridiculous! Of course you can feel better with out eating wheat...but don't go around telling people that you have... -

ARCHIVED How Many People Are Actually Self-diagnosed?
Ciglee replied to no-more-muffins's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok...let's get this straight...if your doctor says that you don't have celiac...then you probably don't have celiac. If you don't have a blood test and an endoscopy..then you don't have celiac. That is the only way that you can tell. You don't take test that you get off the computer...or you don't take the word of your "friend" or you don't read an article... -

Ciglee replied to no-more-muffins's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok...let's get this straight...you cannot diagnose yourself with Celiac Disease....this is a serious disease...you have to be diagnosed with a doctor...having a blood test and an endoscopy. I understand that you feel sick...but diagnosing yourself will not help. Do not claim to be a celiac... did you actually go to a GI? -
ARCHIVED Paper Cut! Am I Glutened?
Ciglee replied to MariaOfColumbia's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
seriously? NO.... you can not get glutened from a paper cut. I advise you not to read these posts...there are a lot of hysterical people on here...they want to be diagnosed with celiac sooooo badly...I guess they just need a disease...instead of realizing that maybe they shouldn't eat such crap. Stay calm..and carry on... -
ARCHIVED Can't Stop Binging On Gluten!
Ciglee replied to Rachel Keating's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Rachel.....I still cheat on my gluten free diet too..it is ok. It is hard to get over it...also, I don't have the symptoms that other people do when they eat gluten..so, I eat gluten. I am not proud of myself..but, I do. I have been diagnosed with celiac disease since 2006. -

Ciglee replied to sillyyak's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hell Ya!! I am honest...I cheat!! I don't like to do it..but sometimes I just do! yes, I get sick...yes, I say I will never do it again...but, I totally understand why people do it!!! I am not proud of myself that I cheat either! I know this post was from this spring...but, I like to read all the posts... Don't feel bad if you have cheated... -

Hello was just diagnosed 2 hours ago. Sadness. Terrible sadness. I can't believe I can't eat wheat anymore.

I have been reading these posts for weeks now...and I knew what the diagnosis was going to be...but, I don...
