  1. yep another teen here. you should come to fan fest next saturday at the park, you can meet all the players and get autographs and stuff, realy fun. i really gotta go back to studying finals start on tuesday and end on thursday
  2. your personal tests say that YOU are allergic to casein but not EVERYONE is it just depends on the person. I am soy free but that is b/c i have an anaphalatic reaction to corn and soy but i know many celiacs who can do soy just fine.
  3. Welcome! first I have to say that my dad grew up in Peoria but we don't live there anymore. I would say go lactose free for a while cause that is what most people do. For calling manufacturers just call and ask if the product has gluten and have the product with you so you have the bar code and such.
  4. what part of the bay area i am from palo alto. you should join the bay area celiac teens support group!
  5. i have gotten the flu shot every year and i have NEVER gotten the flu before and i can't afford to miss more school than i have to i just use it as a preventative measure so i know i won't get it.
  6. the ful shot is not for the stomach flu it is more for the cold-type flu that effects your upper respritory tract not your stomach i hope he feels better!
  7. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
  8. I'm still here doing homework and watching grey's anatomy dvds and then i will move onto gilmore girls after this episode which will be the last of the 2nd season.
  9. i was diagnosed when i was 20 months old at stanford hospital after malabsorbtion and failure to thrive me entire life.
  10. actually i am a junior in high school at gunn high and i live on stanford campus with my parents, my AP classes have homework over break and we haven't had any finals yet, they are also after break.
  11. soooo i am sitting here on their couch and the kids are asleep and I am doing homework and watching grey's anatomy and they are not getting home for another 6 hours ((looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time)) and yeah... happy new years to those on the east coast~!
  12. i got so much stuff this year. 4 new giants sweatshirts and a moises alou game-used bat that is signed . i also got more trading cards and money
  13. i will be babysitting 3 girls who live down the street for double my usual rates
  14. my reactions have changed as i grew up. when i was a baby it was always D 24 hours after the exposure. Then i didn't get gluten all through elementary school but in 7th grade it caused mood swings and my thyroid levels to go dangerously low and create a whole mess of autoimmune disorders. now it causes nausea and that is stopped by taking fennergen casue...
  15. gluten free for dummies is very good. it is written by Danna Korn who started the children's celiac support groups around the cuontry (ROCK( raising our celiac kids) and she live in San Diego if you were wondering.
  16. it's very normal for your symptoms to evolve over your life. mine have changed frmo when i was a baby and now every glutening they are different but i can always tell in someway taht i have gotten gluten in some form. i dunno why it is like that but it is just your body's response and it c an change over hte years, months, or even days.
  17. Many companies have a list of their online products for that company. I know that fritolay has a list and you can also look in the site index (on the left side of the board) they have a list of safe and forbidden ingredients Nini's survival kit is also very good and I would look into it and talking to Nini.
  18. not listing wheat however, does not mean that it is gluten free. there are some companies that will list if it contains gluten clearly on the label but do not rely on something saying wheat free to be gluten free.
  19. i would just bring fruit cause then no one can make fun of it because it is 'different' than any other food cause it is gluten-free i guess this kinda goes away when you get out of the school age children but........
  20. That sounds like celiac to me. just know that each person's symptoms vary from preson to person so you can't base his symptoms off his brother's but to me (i was diagnosed when i was 20 months) it sounds like he is a celiac.
  21. welll, my sisters go to both NYU and GW sooooo NYU is much better for eating out with gluten-free cause it is in NYC and they have so many good places to eat in New York and there is Columbia Celiac Center so i would reccomend NYU food over GW cause it is better. I would say that u shouldn't eat in the dorms at either schools i don't know about GW but...
  22. drink pepermint tea, it usually settles my stomach, for another teen board there are 2 that are dedicated, mine is www.teensagainstgluten.org/FirstPage.html and there is also celiacteens.com you can e-mail or aim me, missmolly3001, and celiacmolly08@mac.com or molly@teensagainstgluten.org.
  23. Anne Lee is who I would reccomend, she was at the columbia international symposium and was really good!
  24. do you live near san francisco b/c if you do Crave bakery in SF makes cakes that are gluten-free/CF/SF and are really good!
  25. actually according to my GI doc of 15 years celiacs are considered high-risk and should get the shot because if you get the flu then your immune system could get thrown off or if you get gluten posioning then you could have more of a chance of getting the flu because your immune system is weakened from the gluten posioning.
