This is funny, I was just thinking of this same thing today...what to do when you get invited to a holiday party where you know there is little you will be able to have. I was actually thinking about skipping lol.

Sometimes I think that high schoolers are so mean!! The bad thing is, these incidents have shown you that it doesn't always stop there (I.e. your teacher in the skit)....I hope that these people shape up! There are good people out there, and I'm sorry you've had to deal with such mean ones! Hang in there and keep on smiling!!! The thing that probably bothers...

I don't even know what test it was that told them I had celiac....I had so many tests it's hard to tell! I was assuming a blood test but maybe I'm wrong.

About the nacho cheese....the one they have at our stadium's concessions comes in individual little containers (like smaller yogurt or pudding containers) that is SEALED (no cross contamination) and has the ingredients and "gluten free" typed on the outside......pretty handy!

I think we used the bread machine once and never used the pasta maker so I'm going to make sure and wash out the bread machine really well prior. Like soak everything and then wash it and then soak it/wash it again. Good news......I'm getting to see the GI specialist sooner.......as in this Friday!! I am so relieved. It was a bad feeling thinking I'd...

I'm newly diagnosed too! (As of last Tuesday, 6 days ago) I think I know how you're feeling...I felt like I was the weirdest person ever and totally abnormal. This website is going to make you feel so much better. I was scared to eat anything too but the foods you CAN have out number the ones you CAN'T. You will start feeling better in no time! If you...

I actually have my own apartment so I can cook whatever I want....which is fantastic...and we have a bread machine!!! A very un-used one, at that We got it as a gift from my boyfriends parents, and used it 2 times I think. It's still in the box in the closet! I am planning on using it now that you said it works well! Another thing they gave us was a pasta...

I haven't started my nutrtion classes yet but I will let you know of some of the foods they recommend once I do start! I feel the same way about the corn tortillas--icky compaired to what I am used to! (flour tortillas are so much softer) but they are ok. My friend told me to try lunch meat and flavored cream cheese (like onion or chive) rolled up in them...

Ok, that makes me feel better because it is bright red. Thank you for your advice, and I am going to call on Monday just to be on the safe side! Now, I just have to work on getting my parents tested! That's another worry!

MomMom....I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. You will be amazed how much better you are going to feel after just a few days of no gluten. I am honestly AMAZED, I can't believe it. My stomach is like a million times better. I went to hockey games this weekend without worrying "what if I have to run to the bathroom???!!" I have to meet with a GI...

That is a really nice thing to say, THANK YOU!!! I try to keep a positive attitude...It's so hard though because I feel like no one understands sometimes! I'm the only person my age (I'm 22) who I know has this...all my friends are like "wow, that sucks, how can you live without bread??" or something like that. My boyfriend is great, learning to read labels...

I am in college too, and I just found out last week that I have celiac. One thing that's been really helpful to me is one of those apple cutters....it has the sections on it and then the middle part that takes out the core. My mom bought me one when she was here last time (before the celiac came about) and I used it about 2 times....now with the celiac I...

I was told that I don't have to give up dairy...just the gluten. They said diary can be a problem for some but for me it doesn't seem to be. So, thankfully, that makes it THAT much easier for me. Thanks for the help!

I know what you're feeling, I think! I just found out on Tuesday that I have celiac and I have been without for about 2 days.....I feel so cranky! I hate being this moody but it's like I can't help it or something. I actually thought about napping this afternoon so I wouldn't have to be around anyone--lol!

I'm kind of like that too, and even though I've only been gluten free for a day and a half, I have noticed a difference. Before, right after I ate I'd get really really cold for about 5-10 minutes. It was the weirest thing ever!
