  1. Definitely. I'm 13 now -- in 7th grade and nine weeks gluten-free. I started getting symptoms in first grade (vomiting, cramps, bloating, diarrhea). Then, in sixth grade (when I was 12 -- at the onset of puberty) I was only absent from school for one day. This year, in seventh grade, I was out of school more often than I had ever been (maybe 9 times,...
  2. Thank you so much for helping me. This sort of clears up my suspicions about candies. I appreciate it.
  3. I don't have a ton of time, but just wanted to mention a few major things. I don't trust restaurants, so I ate in the hotel room (w/o them knowing). Thus, I don't have any advice for eating out. Here are four tips I have: - Bring a toaster oven -- unless you have some sort of kitchen available, bring a toaster oven. Besides toasting any gluten-free...

  5. Is "Ensure" gluten-free? It wouldn't be the most delectable meal, but at least it would be nutritious. Obviously, soups and stuff, but I don't have any suggestions in that category...I've never had too much of that stuff
  6. Been gluten-free for not too long, but already used to the diet. I've only been gluten free for about 6 weeks, but I'm already used to it. Once you've called the companies and are accustomed to reading labels, it isn't too hard. At first there seems to be no variety, but you'll find more and more stuff. These message boards are a great help and once you...
  7. Hey, I'm a 13 yr. old new to Celiac disease, but since nobody else has helped you, I'll try: - Corn Cakes (I like the butter popped corn) made by Quaker. I've practically lived off of these things. I'd recommend buying some stuff that might be hard to find there, before you leave. - Bring a can opener: gives you a range of possibilities (canned...
  8. Hi, I'm 13 yrs. old w/Celiac. I used to take flinstones, too. My mother found another vitamin, "Animal Parade". It doesn't say gluten-free (gluten free) on the container, but when she called the company, they said they were gluten free. They're chewable, which is nice. Hope this has helped. Vitamins are very important for Celiacs since we don't absorb...

  10. Wow...that's scary. Thanks for the warning.
  11. Thank you, everyone, for replying. Molly, thank you for showing me that restaurant site. I was already trying to think of what I'd do when I go skiing in March. I'll check to see if there are any restaurants around the area. If not, I guess I'll bring my own food and meal bars in case I can't find something one night. After doing some more research,...
  12. I'm new, don't know much, been living on: Rice Cakes -- very goood, I'm trying not to eat too many and get tired of them Canned Fruit (mandarin oranges, peaches, etc.) Obviously, fresh fruit Sorry, I don't have much experience yet
  13. Only 13 years old, but I, too have had stomach problems for quite a while. I can relate to being worried about when I would be sick again. Eventually, I found that it came in a pattern, about once every two weeks. That made it worse, knowing that as the 14 days came around I'd probably be sick soon. Don't have much advice to offer; I'm new to Celiac ...
  14. Thank you for replying. I'll have to try some of the ideas you gave me. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a microwave. Student council has been trying to get a toaster for years, and at times, a microwave, but it hasn't been successful thus far. Thanks again.
  15. I had been having stomach problems for a couple years, but my doctor didn't attribute it to Celiac disease. Finally, after going to a specialist and taking some tests, he said that the blood test revealed that I may have Celiac diseas and that my slightly low bone age backs that up. About a week ago I had the endoscopy. Prior to the procedure, I was told...
