    Hey Stud1717 I'm LDS, but unfortunately I do not know the Church's take on those with Celiac. My brother served his mission before he found out he had Celiac. My best suggestion would be to talk to your Bishop and see if he can give you any insight. I'll see if I can't ask other Celiacs around here at BYU-I and get their suggestions/insight. I wish...

    1. how long have you had coeliac? Symptoms my whole life 2. At what age were you diagnosed? 17, 2 1/2 years ago 3. what foods do you miss out on? Pizza, Italian food, my mom's lasanga, cake 4. How much does it cost to stay gluten free? I don't buy many specially made products, so it costs me the same as if I didn't have celiac 5. Do you ever wish...

    I didn't know they had scholarships for people with Celiac...boy could i use something like that! How did you find out about them?

    lovegrov, i'm a bit confused. You say that the majority of people with celiac are not allergic to wheat, but wheat (amongst other grains) has gluten in it, which is what makes us "Celiac", therefore, we would not be able to have wheat..or "allergic" to wheat.

    I've also experienced this several times. I would get really dizzy and feel like the room was moving and in my worst episodes I would still be conscious but my eyes would black out, like I was blind and my hearing would be almost completely gone. It was the most weird feeling ever and the whole time I was flushed and felt like I had a fever and that I could...

    My reaction time seems to depend on what I eat...weird. But for the most part it is within 30 minutes or less that I very much notice it both digestively and bye my stomach and heart hurting. Definitely not smart for me to injest something questionable out in public if you know what i mean.

    I've always thought that my blood type is 0 positive, but then I donated blood and they sent me my donor card saying I had type A blood, sooooo I'm going to have to get that one checked out! Don't want to be thinking I have one blood type and then really having another.

    That's wonderful! I am in my sophomore year of college, and even though I don't use the cafeteria, it's still music to my ears to hear that universities and specifically those in charge of the cafeterias are really stepping up to the plate as far as catering to the students' needs go. I remember just 2 years ago when I was first diagnosed, my high school...

    I do not know if this is true, but I've heard that alot of the gluten-free cake/bread products can cause you to gain weight faster then "normal" carbohydrates do, and at least in my case that was true. Back at home we were always getting Rice bread, or making other gluten-free breads/treats and I was not gaining healthily. I'd be interested to hear what...

    Eating gluten definitely brings back the depression that I dealt with for many years, and still deal with when I don't stick to my diet. I will become fidgeting, quiet, extremely moody, or disinterested in just about anything that is going on around me (tying back to depression) so yes, I do believe there are psychological changes that occur when gluten...

    My friend had Doritos at her apartment and I went to go have some, but then decided to take a look at the ingredients, and it listed that Wheat Flour was in there. I can't remember the exact kind of Dorito it was; the bag was a greenish color...I'll just have to go look at it sometime and see. I've never been the biggest Doritos fan, so I'm not sure if...

    My name is Emily and I'm a 19 year old from Topeka, Kansas. I've always had different health issues, but it was during my Junior year when things got really bad. I started throwing up in the mornings and just being really nausous all the time. I went from 130 to barely 100 lbs in about a month. My doctor as well as my Mom thought i was bulemic, which...

    I have been going to school here in Rexburg Idaho for a year now and I had been wondering if there was any place I could go that was close by that might have gluten-free products. Well, through some searching I found out there was a guy here at school who had Celiac and so I emailed him and he told me about this Health Food Store called "Nature's Nook" that...

    I completely agree with what has been said. It is true that you can't expect a person to be able to react in the "perfect way", after all I don't think there is such a thing. While I do get a bit irritated with some reactions, I'm never hurt by them, because it's not something that I feel I need to be defensive about. In the specific situation I mentioned...

    I also have had plenty of experiences of dealing with those insensitive to my condition, however I've come across a new pet-peeve of mine: over sympathizing. I recently came across this with a guy that I was dating. When he first heard I had celiac, he was really good about just asking about it and being sensitive towards it, and I appreciated that. However...

    Hey Christian,Welcome to the board! Don't worry, there are a couple of us that post on the Teenager board that aren't necessarily considered teenagers. My name is Emily, I'm 19 years old and was diagnosed about 2 years ago. I'm from Kansas, but I'm currently going to school in Idaho. This is great forum with really responsive and helpful people, so post...

    I can't say that I've had the problem with the pre-cancerous cells, but my periods too last for a week if not a few days over that and my cramps are unbelievable; nothing seems to dull the pain. I also get hot flash sensations during my period (havent had a baby though) but I never really told anyone about that, because I figured it was normal...maybe it...

    You know, it's so funny because even though I was diagnosed when I was 17 and I had been sooooo extremely sick (throwing up every morning, dropping down to barely 100 lbs from about 130 in maybe less then a month) I think I even forgot to what extent I was in pain, because I recently had a run in with gluten and I got so sick and the horrible horrible pain...

    I had DH extremely bad on my arms from about the time I was 6 until I was maybe 11 or 12. The itching was unbareable and in the mornings I would usually wake up with blood all over my arms from scratching them so much. My doctor thought it was psorisis *since I wasn't diagnosed yet with Celiac* and so he would perscribe medicine for it that would just make...

    it's interesting that this post has come about at this time, because this past week I've noticed when I "accidently" ingest gluten, my body completely freaks out, 10x worse then it will any other time, and what do you know? I started my period today, and had it not been for this post, I probably would never have connected the two. I will remember from now...

    I too use an electric skillet (Rivel electric skillet) to cook most of my things, especially since I've designated it as something I only use, in order to eliminate potential cross contamination. I got mine for about 17 or 20 dollars, which really isn't that bad at all. So yeah, I definitely suggest an electric skillet to anyone who decides to do their...

    Hey Holly Even though it's been almost 2 years, I still get horrible cravings sometimes; I think that is normal, but it's when you can control those cravings, like trying to ignore them and fight against cheating on the diet, that's what will make the biggest difference. I crave pasta a whole lot and bagels, so I make sure that I keep corn pasta at...

    The college that I'm attending has cooking dorms and then non cooking dorms, which was lucky for me. My freshman year I opted to stay in the cooking dorms which is basically regular apartments (kitchens, own bathroom, 2 bedrooms) in a dorm setting, so I was able to cook my own food and not worry about going on campus to the cafeteria. This year I decided...

    I'm attending college in Rexburg, Idaho and so far the only place I've found where they have a support group is 5 hours away from me. Being as I don't have a car, it's a bit impossible to ever go there, and even if I did have a car, I don't think I could afford to be driving those types of distances. I know there are people here, at least at school, who...
