I tried multiple antibiotics and in the time that it took me to give them a chance to work, my acne went from terrible to just plain disgusting, and I still have scars all over my face and shoulders to show for it. I'm curious what your dermatologist cited as reasons for not prescribing it to celiacs? I was dx with celiac when I was 15, started...

Thanks so much for all the replies! I was really interested to see that other people have had the same reactions as I have. I think I might stop drinking alcohol (as much as it pains me haha) because it's just not worth the suffering. I am positive that my drinks are gluten free (I make them myself, in my apartment), so this just might be the way I will...

Every time I drink alcohol, be it just a couple glasses of wine or a more greedy portion, I seem to get sicker. When I first started drinking, this never happened. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 4 years ago and have been on the gluten-free diet ever since. I should note that my reactions to everything overall seem to be getting worse (accidental...

My family and I went to the University of Florida hospital. They know what they are doing, did my endoscopy fine and diagnosed me right after.

Hey all, I just started college this fall. I go to Johns Hopkins and all freshmen are required to buy a (really expensive) meal plan. Since I am spending so much on it, I try to eat almost everything at the dining hall. However, I feel like I am getting a lot of cross contamination by eating there. They keep rice waffles and rice bread for me, but I...

i don't have much time to work on getting a group together, but i would also love to attend a meeting. i live in gainesville as well.

So I think I accidently got glutened today, but I'm not sure. My sister dropped her roll in my soup, but I ate it even though I thought I saw a few crumbs in it (I was being lazy and didn't want to go get a new bowl). I have stomach pains and I'm a little bloaty/gassy now, but I'm not sure if it's because of the gluten, or becaues I do actually get...

hey marta, i have an aim but not msn or icq. i have been thinking about getting msn though, so i probably will soon. I have been to England, France, and Russia and might visit Germany for a week this summer. My mother pointed out the other day that since we don't live in a really large city, you might get a little bored. Gainesville is only about 1...

I was diagnosed when I was 14, so it wasn't hard for me to handle on my own. My sister, however, was younger. My parents talked to her teachers before the school year started and explained about the diet, and not to let anyone give her food. When they knew she was having a class party or something, we would bake gluten-free cookies or brownies the night...

My mom is Indian and we go visit every couple of years. I've met other celiacs, but never other Indian ones! well, I'm 1/2 Indian, but still. I've gone to India once since I was diagnosed. Basically I avoided most types of bread. But some North Indians use bajra (I'm not sure what that is in English, or if I spelled it right. It's a flour that a lot...

Hi Marta. I am 16 also and I live in Gainesville, Florida, US. I'm a celiac too. I've taken 3 years of Spanish in school and I am on my 4th. I really love learning Spanish. I might be interested in the exchange. But I won't know about my summer plans until around February. It depends on whether or not I get the job I'm applying for. I don't know if February...

I was diagnosed with celiac over a year ago. although i got much better, i never went back to feeling completely normal. I frequently get extremely bloated and have stomach pain whenever I haven't eaten for about 3 hours. Or, if I eat a lot, I still get the bloating and pain. I now eat very small portions for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and about 3 large...

does anyone know of any other colleges with gluten-free dining options? i know it shouldn't matter, and my mom says that the place i choose should be based on other stuff, but it would be nice to have gluten-free food already cooked for me every day.

hey i like art and swimming as well. also i run, play soccer, and surf.

yeah i feel really bead whenever we're eating out and the waiter has to go back and forth to the kitchen asking questions 50 times. do people really ask guys to brush their teeth before kissing? i didn't know that that could make that much of a difference. my doctor has never mentioned it. (i'm glad though because discussing dating and kissing with him...
