    ARCHIVED Hair Loss!

    Hey there! So I was diagnosed when I was really young, then in high school I kind of started sneaking wheat sometimes. (in my defense, I didn't remember the really bad side effects of gluten because I was so young when I was diagnosed...no one judge me (: ). Once I got to college, i stopped sneaking gluten but I also started getting really fatigued and...
  2. Hey there! I have lived with roommates for the past 5 years and have never had any problems with cross contamination or anything like that. I explained the situation to them and just always had a mutual understanding with all of them that we would clearly label what food is ours and clean dishes thoroughly. I had a seperate toaster that i used and we were...
  3. Hey Christy! I live in Tallahassee too! Welcome
  4. Hey there When I came to FSU the school gave me the option of living in an apartment style dorm with upperclassmen so that I had a kitchen, or living in a regular dorm and working with the kitchen staff to figure out meals for each week. I opted to live off campus in an apartment with someone I already knew up at college though. One thing I would...
  5. Hey there. I've had Celiac basically my whole life..and am currently in my 3rd year of college. I agree with everything everyone has said above me. I actually found it easier to manage my food when I moved away from home, because I started preparing everything myself (not that my family wasn't a great support and watched out for me) I've lived in an apartment...
  6. Hey! I know this was posted last month..but I haven't been on here in awhile. I'm 21 and I live in Florida! I'm from the Tampa Bay area originally but live in Tallahassee now for school. I've had Celiac Disease for 19...almost 20 years don't worry it gets better. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
  7. Hey there, I had an endoscopy at 1.5 and I turned out OK Granted, 18 years ago they didn't have all the fancy blood test, stool test etc. So I'm not really sure what my parents would have done if I was 1.5 and being diagnosed right now. Like everyone else said, its really up to you and your husband as the parents, everyone's family has different needs...
  8. hey! I haven't been on here in a couple months, but I thought I'd put my two cents in.. I go to Florida State, and when I first went to move up here the school gave me two options.. 1. they would work with me in the dining halls to cook my food and try and give me options, but if I wanted anything "special" I would need to meet with someone once a week...

  13. im here!! and i haven't really heard anything, but i would love to start doing something..
  14. most definitely!! I've used celiac and/or gluten-free diets for projects since elementary school, its fabulous! science projects, speeches, autobiographies, research papers, you can really use it for almost anything...i encourage everyone on this board thats in school to totally use it to their advantage. Not only is there a slim chance that anyone will...
  15. Hey there! im not a dietician, and im actually changing my major...i decided after a year that i was not cut out for whole classes on metabolism and organic chemistry. haha.. buut, i am a dietetics major as of right now, and have taken all of my intro courses that talk about the educational requirements and opportunities and what not. They vary slightly...
  16. hey! there are a ton of people on here that are in college. i just finished my first year and it was sort of a struggle. ive been diagnosed since i was a year old so all of my friends back home pretty much knew how to deal with it. I have an apartment and my roommates are both fairly supportive and what not, i just sort of keep my own little area of...

  18. thats awesome!! im most definitely interested, and can do anything to help out with it. i actually was just talking to my Intro. to Dietetics teacher in class last friday about whether or not she had any patients with Celiac and getting a group started. Let me know if you need any help!
  19. Hey! so can I just say that just about all my papers from elementary school to now college have had something to do with celiac disease/gluten-free diet in some way..kind of sad..but it always gets a good grade My story really isn't interesting at all, but i thought i would put my 2 cents in since its been a while since i've posted anything here. And...
  20. hey! i went through the EXACT SAME THING. like everything..back in October. at the end of september my roommate drove me to a walk in clinic (i am up at college so i don't have my own doctor) for stomach/lower back pains..really bad pains. they made sure it wasn't appendicitis, gave me a shot for pain and a shot for nausea (it was like 9 at night)...
  21. hey again! they are so strict with the dumb food plan thing! haha, all the dorms a freshman can live in at FSU require you to have a meal plan as well. when i talked to them they said either a)i could live in an apartment style dorm (with upperclassmen) or meet with the cafeteria staff once a week and plan my meals for the week. obviously both of those...
  22. Hey! im a college freshman too, but i have had celiac for about 18 years. I have my own apartment as well, just make sure if she has roommates that they know the situation and don't leave bread crumbs all over the counter and just pick up after themselves and stuff. I am a horrible cook!! i very rarely cooked before coming to college, so when i came my...
  23. Hey! when I was diagnosed I was about a year and a half. I was very very small for my age, in one of the lower percentiles (when I was really sick I lost 5-10 pounds). About 6 months after my biopsy and going on the diet I gained a lot of weight, I was really fat, but I was also really short. I thinned out by 1st grade but was still the shortest in my...
  24. hey there! i had a positive biopsy at 18 months. I'm not sure what my parents would have choosen to do if there had been the option of a blood test, stool test, or a dietician who knew a lot about celiac at the time. but i have been gluten free since then..
  25. I had a tea party birthday when i turned 5!! haha.. we all wore our sunday dresses and had a makeover type thing. For an activity we had different stations: nail painting, decorating mirrors/picture frames, glamour shots, and making hair scrunchies (the big poofy ones made out of scraps of material, very 90s right?..haha) my best friends mom, my grandma...
