About Me
Well I just turned 21 when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in January. I am in college, studying to be a teacher, k-6th grade. New Years Resolution had a whole new meaning this year when I was told I have to stay away from every food I used to consume every day for the rest of my life! I am currently dairy free as well, because I have lactose intolerance. I was recently tested for food intolerance, and because of the Celiac Disease my body has over 90 food intolerances. This will be a long year, but hopefully the results will pay off! Feeling better already:)

uummm yes I would stay away from eel! yuck. I actually only like the vegetarian sushi. preferably avocado roll..yum:)

haha..thankyou! Yeah I'm prolly gonna call and ask to speak to the manager! Go get you some sushi!

ARCHIVED Diagnosed A Few Months Ago

One piece of advice would be to not be scared to eat in restaurants! More and more people are hearing about the disease and are making adjustments in there restaurant for us people with special diets...and don't be afraid to ask. I went into TGIFridays one night and wanted to eat with my friends....they dont have a gluten free menu..but they cleaned the grill... -
Thankyou...did you see it in like a regular grocery store? I kind of want to buy some so I can try making my own! Im just gonna try the restaurant and hope it doesn't make me sick...cuz I will be on a date.lol
-
Ok thanks! Yeah I am very sensitive to alot of foods so I should know!
-
Thankyou so much! Yeah before I was diagnosed I would eat avocado rolls....which consists of fresh avocado with rice and soy paper instead of seaweed because I hate seaweed! And i actually craved it alot because it was one of the few things that didn't make me sick. Should I be concerned with soy paper?

I am trying to find a good sushi restaurant that I can eat at safely. I have read that the sushi axiom is gluten free friendly...but as usual I got a "What the heck is gluten?" response when I asked the waiter.haha! So has anyone ever eaten there...or know of a place that has gluten free sushi in fort worth, texas?? Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting this!! -
Oh and a colonscopy does nothing to diagnose someone with celiac disease. You have to have an endoscopy that takes tissue samples from your small intestine. That is how the diagnosis is confirmed after the blood test.

It makes me so sad to hear that your doctor and so many others say these things. I wasn't overweight but I was not super skinny either when I was diagnosed. I had to ask my doctor for the test. Everyone who has celiac disease does not have the same symptoms. Doctors are just not educated in Celiac and it makes me so mad!!! Anyways I guess you could do...

Wow gluten is found in so many things, including barley and rye. Your doctor needs to stop talking about stuff he doesn't know about. Its also found in a number of mixed spices, and processed foods. Cross contamination is a big deal to. Genetic testing does not diagnose celiac disease. BUT it will show if you have the genes for it, and if you do, then...

I would definitely find another doctor to get a second opinion. It would definitely be hard to diagnose you at this point, since you are gluten free. You would have to do a gluten challenge. Your doctors assessment of Celiac Disease is very outdated. I am 5'8 and at a normal weight, and I was diagnosed with it. It has nothing to do with being short, unless...

You didn't feel any better? That stinks! My stomach actually feels calm right now, and is not hurting. I have only been doing it 3 days. My nutritionists told me to get a candida cleanse, is that something you are familiar with?
