    Hey! Nice to e-meet you. That's a good idea on the meetup groups. Are you in Seattle proper or in the surrounding area?
  2. Hobbes
    Bumping this, I'm 24 and live in Seattle in case anyone else is out here

    In some ways it is a traumatic event. Celiac can totally change the trajectory of your social/personal life, without your consent. I've found the best thing for me to do is focus 110% on my life goals as it helps to propel me forward

    Has anyone found a good way to meet other people with Celiac? The hardest part for me about Celiac is some of the loneliness that accompanies it. Although many friends and partners may be accommodating, nobody except for another Celiac will truly understand the nuances of life that we live. So, if anyone has a good solution to this please let...

    Hi Lacey, I sympathize with your situation, as I myself have long struggled with finding the right foods to eat. Even eating extremely clean foods like brown rice and chicken upset my system. However, I eventually did find something that works: raw foods, in their natural state. Primarily based around fresh fruits and tender leafy greens, these are very...

    Finally some popular media that makes fun of the REALITY of the Celiac situation.

    No problem! Good luck

    Yeah, I understand. My experience was very similar to yours, where I would get anxious in situations where there was nothing to be objectively anxious about. I would highly highly HIGHLY recommend staying on gluten until you take the test. I know that it's difficult, but you will get through it, and once you get confirmed Celiac it will make your life...

    If I understand your situation correctly, you have been just a regular gluten-eating person for a long time, and have recently eaten somewhat gluten-free for 4 days. If this is the situation, then yes, you can still test. It's highly unlikely that your villi have healed in the 4 days of somewhat gluten-free eating period. Until you get the test, keep eating...

    Most definitely. I had very high anxiety for many years before cutting out gluten. Once the gluten was gone, the anxiety went too.

    ^^^ What mr sawyer said. 20 ppm is the threshold for many Celiacs. Some are a bit more sensitive.

    I definitely gained weight due to getting sick. Even now, when I get glutened I get bloated and puffy. So it could be a problem for you. I would encourage you to get tested before going 100% gluten free. I wish I had done that.

    I can definitely relate to how you feel. I've never met anyone my own age (or any age!) who has celiac. I'm pretty fortunate though because my girlfriend is very understanding, and won't even touch anything with gluten. I'm 20 btw, working as an intern at 2 different places this summer and it's been quite the challenge so far.

    This makes me incredibly frustrated. You could try to explain to your boyfriend that you have a DISEASE. If he found out you were allergic to peanuts, he wouldn't try to throw them in your face, would he? It's a disease, and he needs to treat it like one. I understand that it can be hard for him to understand, but it's honestly not that hard to put into practice...

    Hi everyone, I'm 20 years old and want to share my story and my perspective, on some common issues for people with celiac. I have been gluten-free for various periods of time in my life, as I tried different diets to help get rid of fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety. When I look back, I can see now that I have been allergic to gluten ever since I was...
