    I got mine through the Canadian Celiac Assosiation, of which I am a member.

    The New Celiac Pocket Dictionary just arrived in the mail today from the Canadian Celiac Assosiation. I'm very excited because it has EVERYTHING in it, what it is, and whether or not it's allowed. It's small so we can just carry it around! If anyone has questions about what's allowed, post here and I'll post the answer. I have my handy-dandy pocket dictionary...

    Thank you. Thanks for all your kind thoughts. I appreciate them! -Jackie

    This happened a while ago, but I have to say it: I was with friends, and they were all eating cake, etc. I was eating a gluten-free brownie and this girl asks to try it. I give her a taste, and she puts in in her mouth, SPITS IT OUT, and goes, "Eeeeeeeeewwwwwww! That's so gross, how do you eat that? It tastes like cardboard!" I was very hurt by this, especially...

    Hi, I'm Jackie and I'm fourteen years old. I'm a bit younger than most people here, but I like it. It's pretty easy to figure out, don't worry. -Jackie

    There is nothing at all in my cafeteria that is gluten-free, and if I'm still hungry after I eat my packed lunch there's nothing except chips for me to get. It's all chicken fingers, fries, pasta, soup... they do have little salads but most have croutons so I'm not going to chance it. Oh, how the world over uses gluten... (Sorry that was just a little...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac more than 12 years ago, when I was almost two years old. I don't remember the change in my diet, and don't remember what gluten food tastes like, so that's probably why I don't really have much trouble with my diet. The last gluten food I have eaten was 12 years ago; my second birthday cake. When I go over to family friends' houses...

    Well, I've been gluten-free since I was two years old so I don't even know what gluten and "regular" food tastes like. I guess that's good because I don't get cravings for gluten food. But, I would try: 1) A big, fat doughy bagel like the ones that my family eats every weekend that smell SOOOO GOOD 2) Mr. Noodles Soup 3) A real hamburger Just because...

    Today I went to a friend's birthday party and when I told them about Celiac when they saw I wasn't eating pizza, one asked if I could have whole wheat bread. WHOLE WHEAT!!! Oh my goodness. But this isn't very fair, since she isn't the smartest. -Jackie

    That's what I do with my sister. She's allergic to peanuts and I'm gluten-free, so we trade, let's say, she gives me an Oh Henry and I give her Smarties. It works well!

    I have found that the Cheesecake Factory in very unreliable and unknowledgeable in the gluten area. My family loves that place though so whenever we go to the States we go there, and I just order a salad, and there it's basically a bunch of lettuce with tomatoes and parmesan cheese because they top all their normal "salads" with either crunchy noodles or...

    Congratulations!

    Let me share with you an experience I had. At sleepover camp, I had my gluten-free macaroni when everyone else had the regular one. Here's the transcript: Girl: Why do you have different food? (Looks at me like I have four heads.) Me: Um, I can't eat the regular kind. You see, I have lots of allergies. (No sense in getting into it, I hardly even know...

    whoops, double post.

    I can't believe people would be so mean! I had an experience where, at my sleepover camp, the snack that day was fudgesicles. Fudgesicles aren't gluten-free, so I asked the guy in charge of snack that day if I could have a popsicle from the box the brought for lactose intolerant people, because I could have that kind. I say, "Could I have a lactose popsicle...

    I was diagnosed twelve years ago, when I was two years old. There was hardly anything gluten-free; no bagels, only one or two types of cookies, one type of bread, etc. And we had to go to weird out-of-the-way health food stores to get them. I am so lucky that I live in Toronto and we have the Hospital for Sick Children that is very involved in Celiac Disease...

    Thanks everyone! I will for sure give kids words to use like, "No thank you, I can't eat that or I will get very sick." Or something. Simple and effective. has anyone ever seen the book, "No Nuts for Me!"? My sister read it because she's allergic to nuts, and that's what the book is about. Kids allergic to nuts. It's a short kiddie book. -Jackie

    Hahaha! Thanks. I do have a sense of humour towards Celiac; I think it's the only way to go. Either that or stay in your house all day mumbling about your misfortune. And no sense in that! Go out and LIVE!! -Jackie

    PAMELA'S COOKIES ARE NOT GLUTEN FREE!!!! I read that in a Celiac Newsletter. -Jackie

    I just thought of something I've been doing for NINE YEARS and just now thought of how funny it is. Every year, twice a year, I sell Girl Guide cookies (yes, I'm a Girl Guide, AND 14 years old, I know, it's weird, don't make fun of me) because, basically, I have to and everyone I know loves them. Whenever I go selling them to friends or going door-to-door...

    I LOVE writing, and I thought, why don't I write a children's book that explains celiac disease? I don't think I'm "medically smart" enough to write one for adults. Then I saw the post that was encouraging celiac3270 to write a teen celiac disease book. I know an author with published books, who can certainly help me get this published. If anyone has anything...

    Thanks everyone for all the great replies! My sister had the blood test when she was really little, but it came back negative. I thought that meant she doesn't have it; she could have it even if it came back negative??? I asked my dad about it yesterday but he said maybe someone had it, like a great-grandparent or something. Thank you!!!!!!!!!! ...

    There is NO ONE in my whole family that knows they have celiac disease. I found out it was a genetic disease a few weeks ago, and was like, then how do I have it? I suspect it's from my dad's side of the family, because my aunt has stomach problems but has never been tested for celiac disease. I really think she has it though. And then, my uncle on my mom...
