    Celiac.com 01/24/2017 - Coming from homes where gluten-free food is abundant and taken for granted, many college students struggle with maintaining their diets during their time on campus.

    That struggle is the focus of numerous efforts by campuses nationwide to provide solid, reliable and abundant gluten-free food options for their students.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    At a place like SMU, that can include kitchen dining halls that serve gluten-free foods, or gluten-free pantry in Umphrey Lee.

    To help students be more conscious about their food choices SMU posts the daily menus on its website, along with nutritional facts for each item. There are different icons such as Eat Well, Fat Free, Low Sodium, Vegetarian, and Vegan, but as yet, no Gluten-Free icon.

    SMU does offer students access to a campus dietitian, who can help them figure out how to eat a balanced diet on campus, and grant them access to the gluten-free pantry or help in special cases.

    Celiac.com 01/24/2014 - To create a gluten-free, allergen-free station in a dining hall that serves about 10,000 to 14,000 students each week, and offers a different daily menus for each meal, Lehigh University in Bethlehem went the distance. The result was Simple Servings.
    Lehigh's earlier dining hall offered gluten-free cereals, soups, pastas and breads via their Your Choice station. That original station has been incorporated into Simple Servings, and Lehigh students with gluten intolerance can now experience the same range of choices as their non-sensitive counterparts.
    Joseph Kornafel, Lehigh's executive chef, says that the school has really paid attention to details, from getting the right equipment when the station was being built, to maintaining a database of allergen-free...

    Celiac.com 07/13/2015 - Gluten-free students at two elite liberal arts colleges in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are now able to enjoy exclusive gluten-free dining areas.
    Both Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College have created dedicated, exclusively gluten-free dining areas for their students with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, according to a report by Campus Reform.
    Bryn Mawr opened their gluten-free dining area in 2013, and Haverford followed in 2014.
    The exclusive eating areas are the brainchild of Bernie Chung-Templeton, executive director of dining services at both schools.
    Each of the gluten-free dining areas has signage clearly warning students to refrain from bringing in food from outside, including the main school cafeteria.

    Celiac.com 01/29/2016 - The drive to introduce specialties like kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-friendly foods at college campuses has really taken off in the last few years, with more and more colleges establishing alternative dining halls and food selections on their campuses.
    The latest beneficiaries of the this movement are the students of the University of Delaware, which just opened the new, state-of-the-art Caesar Rodney Residence Hall Complex and dining hall, in partnership with food-service vendor Aramark. The dining hall will offer a new dining options for students with dietary restrictions, including kosher, gluten-free and vegan.
    Asked about the focus of the project, Ryan Boyer, marketing director for Aramark, says that main idea is "a restaurant-driven, culinary...

      Passing out

      That’s exactly what happens to me. I have been unconscious twice, vomiting afterwards for up to 9 hours and then the bone breaking chills start. I have never vomited while unconscious, thank god. It’s an unusual presentation and my doctors were reluctant to think it was due to gluten ingestion. However, I know it was gluten as both times it happened wit...

      Please help me understand my Celiac Gene Restuls, thank you.

      I assume you were on antibiotics for the E-coli infection? C-diff almost always is the result of prolonged and/or repeated antibiotic treatment. And there is a growing consensus that celiac disease is connected with gut dysbiosis which in turn is likely connected with first world overuse of antibiotics, preservatives and carbohydrate intensive/low nutrient...

      Please help me understand my Celiac Gene Restuls, thank you.

      A simple blood test should be done, and is usually the first step in diagnosing celiac disease. To do this you need to be eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before doing the test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease...

      Trents, Thank you for the informative information. It's interesting that you suggested an infection or something 'triggers' celiac disease. I have been wondering if this happened because I was hospitalized with E-Coli last December and then hospitalized in June with C-Diff. So, they did do the Antibody Testing but never told me anything about...

      Hi Scott, I really appreciate you already welcoming me and answering my questions. I (very strangely) came down with C-Diff in June of this past year. It did a number on my body. It took several months for me to get back to normal. Because of this, they followed up with a Colonoscopy and during the colonoscopy, they took a biopsy. The results...
