    It's not pathetic at all! Especially if you are newly diagnosed, I can see why you are crying. It's all a question of willpower, don't worry. You will be stronger soon! -Jackie

    It's much different being a leader for young girls than actually being a scout/guide. Although leading in Scouts may be different from Guides, I don't know, it's much harder and less fun being a leader for younger girls. It's just your experience. I know what you mean, but the way it's run depends completely on the leaders (the girls also if they behave)...

    Well, it's not too hard for me to go camping as per the food stuff. If I am planning the camp as I am doing this spring (so excited ) then it's obviously easy, as I can tailor the menu for my needs. When someone else planned the menu, I ask them for a copy and then bring up all the altervatives. I could still take part in the cool camping cooking methods...

    You are exactly right. It's not a big part at all. By the way you described it, it hasn't changed much at all! By the way, gf4life, I also do dance and Girl Guides. It's not too much for me, and I'm in grade nine (e.g. more homework than grade two or three ). -Jackie

    I see what you're saying. I wasn't mad or anything, I was just saying it's pretty unlikely they will make them. Remember, the main focus of Scouts/Guides isn't cookies, so it's not like we have a 'market'. Well, you're right, the worst they could say is no so you could give it a try. Aww, Rachel, don't worry that you weren't a Scout - you could always...

    That is amazing! It is the best gluten free crust I have tried. -Jackie

    That's great! -Jackie

    Sorry to put a damper on everyone's hopefullness and happiness and whimsicality, but I am a Girl Guide (I live in Canada, we sell cookies too). Selling cookies is the biggest fundraiser, and it brings in the most money out of any other fundraiser. Selling the cookies isn't hard, but it isn't incredibly easy either. Selling gluten-free cookies would be incredibly...

    Great! Have fun! -Jackie

    If it were a pill or something, I would take it ONLY: a) at camp (I go to sleepover camp) while traveling c) at some huge special event and the food looked AMAZING and I would never get to try anything like it again I find I eat healthier than most of my friends, because I can't get things like chicken fingers, fries, hamburgers etc. So I wouldn...

    I also went on a cruise for the winter break, on Royal Carribean. It was AWESOME. We also went to Cozumel, Ocho Rios and Cayman Islands, along with Nassau, their private beach in Haiti and Belize. It was so much fun, I got amazing dinners and they even made me desserts a few times, like banana splits and even a creme brulee once. Nobody be hesitant...

    If you have Celiac, you are still damaging yourself even though you may not be able to feel it. If you have a wheat allergy, though, this may be your level of tolerance, like people being able to eat just a bit of soy or something. Just thought I'd point that out just in case. -Jackie

    That sucks, and I agree she shouldn't have changed the plans on you, but you have to remember that they aren't going to plan every meal especially for you. You're in university, so I assume people like to just do whatever they want and stuff. They don't know as much about Celiac as you do. They might think you're being overly careful or something. Tell them...

    I got that too. -Jackie

    I've gotten the 'well, can you eat white bread?' and the 'I wish I had that so I wouldn't get fat'. But the best one ever that made me laugh so hard was: "Wow. Does that mean you can't eat... Cheerios?" CHEERIOS? Is that what you think of when you think wheat? I thought that was pretty funny. Oh well. I don't get mad at these kinds of things. I think...

    That's great! (I think.) -Jackie

    I went on a cruise with Royal Carribean to the Western Carribean. It was great! They were really good about the food and everything. You just have to tell them beforehand. All we had to bring was cereal, really. They even made a few gluten-free desserts for me. They give you bread (it's actually really good). It was so much fun! -Jackie

    Awww thanks. -Jackie

    Actually, reading your other post, I'd suggest getting your whole family tested. celiac disease is genetic, and it sounds like you could have it too. All the symptoms sound like Celiac. Many doctors don't diagnose Celiac because: a) They don't know what it is; Celiac symptoms mimic TONS of other things such as IBS, lactose intolerance, chronic fatigue...

    Hi! If your daughter had dh, then she definitley has Celiac. DH is specific to Celiacs. You should probably get your other twin tested too, since she has a 70% chance of having it if her twin does. I was diagnosed when I was two years old, and it's not as hard as it seems. You'll get used to it! Other people on this forum will help you with that stuff...

    My goodness no. Clearly your doctor(s) haven't told you anything. All you have to do to be healthy is eat gluten-free, which everyone else has explained really well to you. I'm Sorry about your parents! That must have been hard. Don't worry. You'll get the hang of it quickly and feel better than ever. -Jackie

    I'm so sorry. That must have sucked. But, this is an opportunity to show you really don't care what they say. If they make fun of you or push food at you, just smile and say, "Oh, well!" and carry on a conversation with someone that isn't being mean and rude to you. Or, if it's your boss or someone who cares how many sick days you take, then say, "Oh, sure...

    Today at lunchtime, I was sitting with my friends and one asks me if the macaroni I was eating was made of rice. I say yes, another friend asks why, I say I'm Celiac, and this girl turns around and goes, "Hey! My mom's allergic to wheat but she thinks she's Celiac." I thought that was pretty cool all on its own, but: In tech today, we were doing this...

    Hey! I'm a girl guide and I sell cookies. I don't go door to door but we sell them in the mall once in a while - you're helping a good cause! For only four dollars! And you make the seller feel like they're doing a good job. I sell them and I've never even tried them which I think is pretty funny! People ask me, "Well, how to they taste?" And I go, "Um...
