  1. Thank you everyone for all your help and stories. I actually called the ADA and they assigned me a caseworker. The college is accredited they are rated one of the best colleges in the US. Its just not all the people at the college are the greatest. I am also fighting with them because I have a issue with broken bones.... in high school I played sports until...
  2. I have tried to work with the college. They asked me to move off campus because they did not allow my fridge, they only allowed a small fridge not one with a freezer and they did not allow my microwave that was also a convection oven. They also tried to put me in a room that is the size of my bathroom which only had a walkway around the bed and I would not...
  3. Hi all, I am in college here in Ohio. The college I am attending decided last year at the end of the year that they were no longer going to be able to accommodate me on campus. I found the cheapest apartment I could and now that the new semester is coming I am totally out of money because I dont make enough money from my job to pay my bills. I am working...
  4. I cooked mine in a toaster oven because unfortunately I live in an apartment that has a gluten caked oven that I cant use. Anyways... My suggestion would be to let your facet run until the water is good and hot to mix with the yeast. If your using a toaster oven I found that at 450 degrees, 8 minutes without toppings and 18minutes with toppings it turned...
  5. Today I decided to try the Bob's Red Mill pizza crust mix.... I have tried many others and they have not turned out the greatest or to my taste-buds satisfaction. I was very impressed by Bob's Red Mill, it tasted just like pizza used to way back before I was diagnosed. The instructions were very good and the crust did not become soggy like some of the others...
  6. I have what may be an annoying and over asked question, but I never experienced this symptom myself. I was lucky enough to have all the worst possible things happen to me. But the guy that I am dating has problems with his stomach and bowels. I was searching around on the board and I found all these messages talking about a celiac belly??? I had no idea that...
  7. Well I haven't been able to find a specialist. The closest I found was in Chicago... but i found a Nurse Practitioner in Defiance Hospital off Sessions St that is willing to do tests and learn and she is looking for a specialist for me. She is really awesome! Id recommend her as a primary doctor, but for anything that involves scopes she would have to refer...
  8. Celiac Disease was referenced on the NCIS episode airing 3/31/09(today). The accountant is in interrogation and is about to take his pills and says that the doctors said he might have celiac disease and would have to cut gluten out of his system. He doesn't say that he has the disease, but that doctors are unsure what is wrong with him and he takes pills...
  9. Thank you so much for all your information! This really helps! I decided to not go back to the doctor that did the tests because he wasnt at all familiar with the disease. So I'm on my own with finding the supplements. Thankfully I have a wal-greens where I moved to recently!!! That is a relief. Thanks again.
  10. That's the same situation that I am in. With being lactose intolerant, I can not have milk to get a lot of vitamin D like everyone else. It has been so long since I have looked for them that I am not sure which ones to look at and all I have around here is a walmart. I am willing to drive to get any supplements since I know that I need them. Where did...
  11. I recently had my doctor order a series of blood tests. I've been gluten-free for 5 years going on 6. When I was first diagnosed I had really low levels. They seem to all be fine now, but my Vitamin D and Folic Acid are low now. When I was diagnosed we went through a lot to find out which vitamins were gluten-free and which ones had the right dose. It has...
  12. I couldnt help but continue reading your post. A lot of what your going through sounds like what I went through when I was growing up. I was always the smallest kid weight wise and I could never gain weight. I also had a lot of other problems that my celiac being wrongly diagnosed caused..... I've had celiac all my life, doctors just pawned it off as growing...
  13. Im not sure where you are from, but some pizza shops around me have gone gluten-free and it is amazing pizza! Also you can get gluten-free beer that from what I am told tastes like the regular thing. I was never into beer so I havent tried it. At least you got it out of your system so that you didnt have the reaction continue for days. Ive had reactions...
  14. I knew about the disability act when I came to college. That is why I chose the college that I did, but also I had the disease all of high school. I have heard the "i'd die" thing many times also. It does continue even with people that are not in college. The awareness is increasing thankfully! When I first started college it was rough to live in the dorms...
  15. I'm not sure if this has been posted on already or not. I looked and didnt find anything on it. I recently have permanently moved to the Toledo, Oh area. I found out that Gino's Pizza serves gluten-free pizza. It is a regular pizza shop and you are treated just like a regular customer. I have personal experience at the one in maumee, and the manager heather...
  16. I'm also of junior status, but not at the same college. I am in northwest ohio. I have had 5 years to deal with all of this though. I have found that the bars dont taste the best to me. Ill take a baggie of cereal, or chips. I will eat fruit snacks all the time. I know they are for little kids but they actually have vitamins and taste amazing and help with...
  17. I've been gluten-free for 5 years now and I will still get tired in the afternoon if I have had a long day or been stressed. I'll take a nap in those instances, but other than that I dont really. It took me a long while to feel better after I was diagnosed. I also have hypoglycemia and have tested positive. I have to control that by eating 6 to 8 smalls...
  18. I made sure to get it plain because that is the only way that I knew that they were gluten free and I always tell them how to handle them. Im not sure if maybe it was just CC with handling or what. I know before it has been fine for me to eat them, but I have only had them maybe 3 or 4 times. Im actually very sensitive to contaminations. My body freaks...
  19. Yesterday, I had a baked potato from Wendy's. It's been a couple weeks since I have had one from there because eating out just isn't something that I do. Well I have been contaminated and my reaction started within 15 minutes of eating the baked potato. Now I am in misery. Does anyone know if they changed their policies? Are the baked potatoes not gluten...
  20. The doctors told me when I was diagnosed 5 years ago that the damage was so bad that I might not be able to have kids. It seems that I am not able to so far. I have tried to find research on this, but as has already been said doctors aren't so eager to do testing... I wish there was some definite study that said whether or not this was an issue. Does...
  21. I personally have ate the WISE salt and vinegar chips and they were fine. I called and they were supposed to be ok. I think some of their other flavors are not though. I am typically very sensitive if I get even the smallest reaction and I was fine with them. :/
  22. I am in Ohio.... RI isnt close to me Toledo, oh Lima, oh and fort wayne, in are an hour away from me..... I'm hoping to find a doctor within an hour or so of me.
  23. Hi, I'm new to the forum. I am hoping that someone can help me. I have recently decided to move to the northwest part of ohio. I moved from Pittsburgh, Pa. I can not drive the 6 hours to get to my doc back home that was excellent with celiac. Is there any chance that anyone knows of a doc that has some knowledge of celiac in the toledo, fort wayne, lima...
