That's been one of my main ways to stay alive this summer here at college since I can't eat too much at the Student Center (which has a Subway, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Tuscan Kitchen, Starbucks, and Freshens Ice Cream...and it's not really an option for me to live off salads and ice cream). I haven't had any problems from it (at least I don't think I have...

Did she know that you had the disease? Cause if she did, that was kinda mean. If not, it's probably an honest mistake. I also think alot of people are confused with EXACTLY what we can and can't have and when and how much. Even I'm still learning (found out I had this a week ago). But on the bright side, it should make you look nice and make you kinda...

I'm new to this site too. I just found out in fact that I am a Celiac last week. I keep hearing about how a Celiac can't even TOUCH wheat? Is that really really true or is it for some or what? But as for a moment like that? I don't think I have one. But I'll tell you something else. There's a Mexican place called Qdoba that I worked at...

See, I don't seem to get any reactions like those except D (which I guess stands for, and forgive me for spelling it out probably wrong...diharrea). Maybe a little gas here and there, but mostly the wicked runs. No headaches or sores or anything like that that I notice. How long do most celiacs seem to have had this disease? Do you guys think I and others...

Are you kidding me?! That SUCKS! Nothing at all?! How is that possible?!

Let me tell you, the thing I am DYING for is a burger. If it wasn't for the BUNS I could have one. But it's just no fun to eat one without a bun. At least I can still have meat. I went to Applebees awhile ago and got a take two of Prime Sirloin and their Ribs. Delicious!

See, I wonder though, how long do you think I'd live to if I was never diagnosed with this (I'm 19 currently)? I ate glutten on a regluar basis till only a week ago, and let's face it: America is Glutten-Central. Other countries use rice and stuff, but we choose wheat. We could very easily use rice, but because we're so used to wheat, and because of the extra...

Is it true that some Celiacs have to be more strict than others? I've heard that some can't eat food that has touched wheat (which my doctor doesn't think I'm that intolerant). I hope I'm not that intolerant, and from what I find, I don't think I even am. It seems random when the effects of Celiac disease kick in, though I admit, they happen. But for instance...

Wait, candy isn't naturally gluten free? I thought it always was, since chocolate is made with milk which is dairy. So lactose people might not be able to eat it, but celiacs can't either?!

Hey, I'm new here and am finding this to be a great resource for helping me with this Celiac problem. I was just diagnosed with this last week, and while it would explain certain things that have been happening to me in the past few years, sometimes I wonder in the back of my head if the blood test I got that my doctor says confirms I have Celiac disease...

My parents actually bought me a new refrigerator with a seperate freezer and fridge because of this (and my old one sucked). So I have a few foods and snacks that are gluten free in there and dry foods that don't need to be frozen in a drawer. But I'm already running out (for the first few days I was here, food service wasn't even really happening). And the...

This school (SIU Carbondale) actually is supposed to have the number 1 health center in the nation, and they have a nutritionist here that I'm going to see I think next week to talk about what to do. Supposedly, the dietician offers a menu or plan that shows/gives foods that are Gluten free here at the dining halls. Unfortunately, the dining halls are closed...

Hey, I'm new to these boards, and just found out last week that I have celiac disease (I found out from a blood test and endoscopy). Now I'm at college for the summer, and my eating options are kinda limited. There's a student center with a McDonald's, a Subway, a Taco Bell. What from those are gluten free that I can have?
