About Me

Hi there!

My name is Lexi and I've been dealing with Celiac my entire life, but was only recently officially diagnosed.

The road has been rough, but I am determined to take care of my body and my oh-so-grumpy tummy!

I am almost 20 years old and am now a Sophomore in college and cannot wait to see where the Lord leads me while I work to obtain my Elementary Education degree.  :D

    Well, I guess I haven't been on since around last Fall or sometime around there. Either way, it's been a while! I just finished my Sophomore year of college with a 4.0 and am finally back home for the summer! Some of you may have heard about us on the news recently actually... we had quite a lot of rain a few weeks ago that basically destroyed half the town...

    They are the heartland gluten free noodles and the container is one of those deep tupperware containers

    I attempted to cook some gluten-free noodles in the microwave today because I REALLY wanted some alfredo. Well the noodles got all goopy and had white creamy stuff all over them and tasted pretty nasty. I wasted like half the package I got a microwavable container and added my noodles and water and them stuck them in the microwave for 10 minutes, stirring...

    My bloating always lasts for at least a week, sometimes two.

    Hey Justin! Welcome to the board. I'm sorry you're feeling so down about everything right now. I understand what it's like to go through years of stomach issues, depression, chronic migraines, etc and then to find out it's all because of this one little thing you're eating. So you cut that part out, but that is also depressing. It sucks honestly, but you...

    Learning all of this makes me terrified of the world! Goodness I guess I will just have to watch out for that.

    Thanks for sharing Orange! It's nice to hear that there are some gluten eaters out there who can't tell the difference and aren't picky for no reason whatsoever. My family I think is just being prejudiced to anything besides the "norm"

    I think it's really sad, and I'm sure a lot of you would agree, that I am so elated to go back to college because I know people understand my needs there. This summer has been such a struggle being at home because my family just doesn't get it. I'm not sure they ever will. After being relatively gluten-free for over a year now I realize how much I was taking...

    You can get contaminated by breathing it in?!

    I meant to post this topic ages ago when I was on vacation, but it totally slipped my mind until just now. When I was going through my lovely glutening experience earlier this month I started to notice that my throat would feel kind of itchy immediately after eating something that contained gluten. When I was on vacation I was extremely good at staying...

    Thanks for your reply! I did end up putting cake duty on her. I just don't want to deal with all of that hassle and risk making myself sick since I've been doing so well lately. Betty Crocker's gluten free desserts are to die for and make so so unbelievably happy! My whole family likes them, but yet I still get complaints simply because of the "gluten...

    So my brother turns 8 this month and I was pretty excited. Until I realized I'd be expected to bake his cake like I always have. It's not really a problem, but it's just depressing. Obviously mom doesn't want it to be gluten free because she thinks people will notice. No offense to my mother but I have mastered the gluten free baking technique. They wouldn...

    So I am back from my vacation and I feel great! I feel so good that I've finally realized that all the food I wish I could have, but can't, really isn't worth it at all. I know everyone on here has been telling me this, but as a newbie it was very hard to come to terms with. This site has done a ton of good for me:) I stayed away from gluten entirely, ate...

    Hey everyone! For those I upset, I apologize. I was just diagnosed this summer and am still coming to terms with the fact that I cannot eat these things because it actually causes damage. Originally I was deemed gluten intolerant and was told that while gluten makes me feel rotten, it wasn't causing any permanent damage. So when things came up (like that...

    Thanks guys for easing my mind a bit! I haven't noticed anything weird today so hopefully it was just a fluke!
