    Steve, So glad to hear from you again. You were missed so much! Sorry about your crisis. I hope everything will work out. Keep your chin up! You know that everyone here will listen, if you need an ear. Vicki

    Kimberly, We've all had days like this. I am the only one in my household with Celiac's. I can't count the amount of times I have fed my children all thing's filled with gluten! And, not to mention the many restaurants where I can't eat a thing. I can feel for you. My suggestion to you is to bring anything that can fit into your purse, even if...

    Currently in Philadelphia: SWELTERING! It's about 91 degrees and feels like 97. And it's not over yet!!!!! Living in a concrete jungle not a good thing on days like this!!! Vicki

    I agree with everyone. The later the diagnosis, the worse off you could be. I was diagnosed at the age of 28. Six years later, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. So, the younger, the better. You are really lucky, and I hope that you stay healthy! Vicki G.F. since Sept. 1995

    I just started homeschooling my son in April. He was diagnosed with P.D.D. which is a form of Autism. I live in Pennsylvania, but I found this wonderful cyber school. It's called Agora Cyber Charter School. They happened to be based in Virginia. They send you all of the materials that you need, including a brand new computer. They also reimburse for...

    I loved this show! It was the first show to use slime, which is now Nick's trade mark. So your dad played the adult. My favorite role was when he played the stage manager. Tell him people do remember the show! Vicki

    Radgirl, I'm sorry that your so hurt and angry right now. I agree with you 100% that it is difficult to watch others indulge in the best of foods. But, I agree with Nancym. There are a lot of people who are restricted with diet. I miss a lot of things, and I have been living this way for almost 12 years. I promise it will get easier with time. My...

    Hi Doll, I really am glad that you have a positive attitude with life! You have it so rough. But, anyway, I see you have gotten some interesting responses. This is the first time in a while since I was able to use the computer. My kids have the majority of control now that it's summer! But, I did want to throw in something that I forgot about. ...

    Doll, It was the birth of my second child that triggered mine. But, this is not the only trigger. Any kind of trauma to the body can bring out the beast. It is a genetic disease. It lays dormant in most people who have it, until an event that hurts the body. After having it for 12 years, I have read all of the research. It sucks big time, and there...

    Hi and congrats! Welcome to "The Club". It also happened to me after the birth of my second child. He was 9 months old when I was diagnosed. Horrible hospital stay, one week, many tests, biopsy, and diagnosis. That was 12 years ago. It has been proven that the trauma of childbirth brings out the Celiac's. You had it all of your life, but didn't...

    Hi Barbara, Don't despair! 18 days is just a short period of time. You are only at the beginning of that long road to recovery. If you can, try and get as much rest as you can. Your body has been through a lot. Are you doing anything that is causing stress? Do you work? If so, did you return yet? If you did, ask your boss for light duty. Recovery...

    Hi and Welcome! My suggestion for you is to stick to simple foods: meats, veggies and fruits. It will take you a while to become used to this experience. As for the healing time, it really does vary, depending on you and not getting yourself glutened. For me, it took a year for my body to feel a difference. Now, I can tell you, having lived with this...

    Hi Liz, I have to tell you that most PCP's are very under educated when it comes to Celiac's Disease. However, since your test results came back about the thyroid issue, there is no reason for the doctor not to trust the results. My PCP tested me several years ago and found that I had Hypothyroidism. There are a lot of us out there with other related...
