    There was really no need to get heated. Aeraen made a point in a civil manner, and a very good point at that. Nobody is saying you can't be upset, but I have to agree that you need to deal with the other problems instead of blaming celiac. You were the one who came asking for help, and you just received constructive criticism that you obviously did not care...

    Me too! I'm under Rachel Dawn Ankrom

    I must really be a moron. I know the effects gluten has on my body. I know that even a crumb of gluten causes damage. So what do I do? I go on a whole gluten binge. At the drive-in last night with my new boyfriend, I had fries and wing dings. Today, he took me out to a chinese buffet and I ate...well, whatever I wanted! I'm paying for it all....

    As a recovering bulimic, I have been known to binge and purge on glutenous foods and then purge so I don't physically have to purge...however I end up usually purging more..its a vicious cycle. ><

    Don't take this the wrong way (or do), but it sounds like she's being a whiny brat (though I have another b-word in mind). I'm 18, and if my older brother had this and I didn't, I would support him. Instead, it's the opposite, and he supports me. Sounds like you need to give her a good punch in the face (that would be my reaction, at least).

    Well, nothing. I just figured it was a given that "this is Rachel's gluten-free food, so eat your gluten-laden brownies before you eat hers."

    Okay, so saying this makes me feel like a greedy b-word, but hear me out. When I make a special baked good for myself, I have to hide it from my family if I want any. Now I don't like hiding things, and I don't mind sharing. Its just that everyone else in my house can eat whatever they please, but they choose to eat my stuff first. I can't stand it! I...

    I've lost 30 pounds since going Gluten-free. However, I'm trying. Also, my blood pressure has gone down (it wasn't high, but it was just on the brink of above normal).

    Thou shall never trust a waiter with a confused, dazed look in his eyes after the mentioning of "gluten-free."

    I understand here, and can sympathize. I am currently in treatment right now (at age 18) for bulimia I have been facing since I was 14. In fact..and I may get a lot of crap for this..but I used to use my celiac disease as a coverup. Say, I would go out with friends and 'get sick from something I ate,' I blamed celiac so nobody knew I was purging. However...

    Hello Dear! You can absolutely be gluten intolerant without celiac. Also, there are false negatives all the time. However, that's not your answer. What you're facing is completely normal. Your body realizes it can eat without being sick, and is craving nutrients. You'll level out with time, trust me.

    Hey y'all, So I was reminiscing my old favorite foods the other day. Well I went to give blood, and while I never had *incredibly* high blood pressure, I've always been overweight and my blood pressure was not normal for that of a teenager. Well, both numbers went down by 10, and I've lost 24 pounds so far going off gluten. While I know that...

    My favorite thing to use is cookingallergyfree.com. You can just plug in your food allergies, and then up pop recipes that cater to your needs.

    Don't give up!! You have a LOT of support here. We all feel your pain, and I promise you, it will get better! You'll be glad you stuck to the diet when you feel well again.

    Hey y'all! I'm in college, and my only cooking tool is a microwave, no stove/oven/etc, and I was wondering if it was possible to cook gluten-free pasta in the microwave. Specifically I have Tinkyada's little spirally shapes (sorry that's not very specific). Any suggestions are very much appreciated!!

    So, last night I was shopping at Aldi's, and I'm not sure if this post has already been discussed yet, however I noticed that several of their items, especially the Fit & Active brand, are labelled gluten and lactose free! So exciting that its right there on the label!

    Hey, I say it's worth a try. I have noticed similar. I have also heard that people who work in bakeries aren't bothered by the smell of the cooking after fifteen minutes or so. So maybe lighting a cinnamon roll-flavored candle would also help if you're imagining eating a cinnamon roll.

    That's truly awesome!! I had a waiter at Olive Garden who knew if I was ordering off the gluten-free menu that there couldn't be croutons in the salad. Unfortunately, something still made me sick at that meal. But it's a GLORIOUS feeling knowing that there are some wait staff who understand. I actually feel like I should be a waiter so I could really help...

    I hear a lot about becoming intolerant to soy with celiac. How do you know if that's your case or not?

    I was out to eat when I went home over fall break (I'm in college 700 miles from where I grew up), and I was with my friend's family. We were in an Eat N Park, which has gluten-free buns, and does very well with accommodating its gluten-free customers. When the waitress took my order, I requested that I needed it on a gluten-free bun, and she asked if it...

    Well, I wish I could help you more, but I feel like I should say, that you should be more vocal. However, if I were in the same situation, I probably wouldn't say anything either. I understand what you mean by not wanting to make a stink, or draw more attention to the issue. I don't think people are inconsiderate, they just might not know about the risk...

    Okay, so I went out last night for my first college clubbing experience. Standing there awkwardly talking to a friend, some man (who turns out I actually knew) is so wasted, he barely knows where he's at, and he spills his drink all over me and my friend. She asks, is it beer, and I feel my jeans where he spilled it, smell it, and it was beer. The next thing...

    That is probably the best explanation of that I have heard! I never thought about it that way...

    I've really never had any trouble with people being rude about it either (which, reading some of these horror stories, I am thankful!). There was one situation, where at a restaurant I stated I needed it on a Gluten-free bun, and the waitress asked if it was for a gluten allergy, which I replied Celiac, and the fifteen year old girl at the other end of the...

    1.) Female 2.) 18 3.) April 4, 2010 4.) Not a single other diagnosis. 5.) Very sensitive to CC and anything gluteny. 6.) Yes! I feel like almost anywhere I go, I get glutened, either by CC or some careless act. 7.) Yes! Yes yes yes! Not enough people know about it. The fact that only 3% of celiacs KNOW they're celiac really bothers me. And so...
