  1. Karen, I'm also in Toronto. -Jackie
  2. Awww! I'm so touched . Thanks so much. I hope I can help more people. I like thinking up analogies hahaha. -Jackie
  3. 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...
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Hi. My name is Jackie and I'm 14. I live in Toronto, Canada. I love to ski, and dance, and write, and stuff like that. I've had Celiac since I was 2. -Jackie
  7. AMAZING idea! I'm sending her an email through the website right now. -Jackie P.S. - I will be SO excited if they do a show about it. I hope some of us can fly to Chicago to be on the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. I'm so sorry. I agree and hope the best for you. -Jackie
  9. 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
  10. 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...
  11. Thanks everyone for posting! I'm very excited about this poll and I'm happy everyone else is too! -Jackie
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. That's terrible! I would have given her a one.
  16. Why, thank you! I can't believe that everyone is debating about me and my post- how exciting lol! I feel so important. Thanks very much everyone! I really appreciate everything that you've said and it's helped me alot. Jackie
  17. I am Jewish and that is true. We write G-d instead of the full form. G-d in full is too holy. -Jackie
  18. "Coeliac, gluten intolerance, its the same thing?" No, they're not. Celiac does major internal damage, while gluten intolerance (I think) does not.
  19. I live in Richmond Hill - I'm 14. -Jackie
  20. 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...
  21. You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. For sure get tested for Celiac.
  22. 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...
  23. 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
