ARCHIVED 15 W/ Celiac, And It's Just Getting Harder
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to Sophie's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi Sophie. I'm 14 years old and have also been diagnosed for 12 years, and I'm in the same position as you except for a few big differences: 1. I never cheat; 2. My friends don't wave bread in my face (flying crumbs...) 3. For some reason I am not bothered at all by teachers bringing in food; 4. And, I don't feel like the odd one out. Don't... -
ARCHIVED Any Help With Celiac Markers?
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to cherie012's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Don't worry. Usually, in small children, results are seen within a month. He will probably be back to normal in two or three months! -Jackie -

ARCHIVED Oprah - Let's Get Cd On Her Show

Maybe if they used a title like, "Over 3 million Americans have it... two million don't know" or something like that, it would get people's attention. -Jackie -

ARCHIVED Puts Things Into Perspective

I'm so sorry. I agree and hope the best for you. -Jackie -
When I went to the States, I brought back a lot of Thai Kitchen soups because there they say Gluten Free on the front. But here in Canada (Toronto), it doesn't say gluten-free anywhere on the package. Does anyone know if they're gluten-free in Canada? I already emailed them and they didn't respond. Thanks! -Jackie

ARCHIVED My Celiac Problem
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to stephen11's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
No, that is not possible from the extent of my knowledge. Medecation cannot cause Celiac. You have to have the gene, and a trigger. A trigger can be a viral infection, pregnancy (obviously not in your case), stress, and many other things that I'm sure others on this site can tell you. Medication will not make Celiac worse (I think) unless it has gluten in... -

ARCHIVED At What Age Were You Diagnosed?

I just wanted to make this poll because I fell like I'm one of the only ones who was diagnosed very young (2 years of age). Okay, Thanks! -Jackie -
ARCHIVED Concerned For Teenaged Daughter
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to Ursa Major's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
If she freaks out, then tell her to come on this site and if she wants to, I'm 14 and in grade 9 so I can talk to her if she wants. I'm on quite a bit so just PM me or whatever, I don't like putting my email address out on the internet. -Jackie -
ARCHIVED Haven't Been Intimate In Months, But Funny...
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to lorka150's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You probably aren't totally gluten-free. Right before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I was skinny everywhere except my belly too. Make sure you're totally gluten-free. Jackie -

I am Jewish and that is true. We write G-d instead of the full form. G-d in full is too holy. -Jackie -
ARCHIVED Possible Coeliac
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to Stinky's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
"Coeliac, gluten intolerance, its the same thing?" No, they're not. Celiac does major internal damage, while gluten intolerance (I think) does not. -

ARCHIVED Sixteen W/ Cd
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to sweetiegrl109's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I've had Celiac my whole life, and I'm in High School now. My friends don't usually make fun of me, but they do offer me gluten foods. I'm sure they mostly do it by accident though. I do have one friend, though, who is one of my best friends actually, but every time she's eating bread or a bagel or a muffin or that sort of gluteny food, she offers me some... -
ARCHIVED Shoul I Cooperate With My Gastroenterologist?
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to ashhm's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. For sure get tested for Celiac. -
ARCHIVED Shoul I Cooperate With My Gastroenterologist?
fisharefriendsnotfood replied to ashhm's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It sounds like Celiac! It's strange that the malabsorption tests were negative, though. Celiacs have malabsorption. BUT, something like three quarters of all Celiacs were previously diagnosed with IBS. You should get the Celiac blood test. Even if it comes back negative, you could try the gluten-free diet and see if you feel any better. If you do, it's probably... -

fisharefriendsnotfood replied to Holly04's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
If you are Celiac, then you are doing extreme damage to your body even if you're not feeling it. Even the pan thing, don't do it, because you are hurting yourself. -Jackie
