Hello!

My name is Christian, a male from New York City. As I was reading here I realized I'm not really a teenager (I'm 20), but I guess close enough. I've been gluten-free since January and a vegetarian since 2000. Just wanted to say hi to you all...I'll be posting and reading a lot :)

Say hi!

Christian

Hey Christian,Welcome to the board! Don't worry, there are a couple of us that post on the Teenager board that aren't necessarily considered teenagers. My name is Emily, I'm 19 years old and was diagnosed about 2 years ago. I'm from Kansas, but I'm currently going to school in Idaho. This is great forum with really responsive and helpful people, so post away :D

Thank you so much!

I have so many questions and stuff but like, I don't know where to start or what I should say about myself?

These boards seem really cool, and I'm so happy to have found others to talk to.

Hi,

Welcome to the board. This is a really great spot to get support, as well as build on your knowledge. In February of this year, on the 17th, I guess, I came here with no knowledge of celiac disease....I find it amazing to look back on how much I've learned over the months without realizing it. I'm sure you'll find the board as helpful as we all have....and maybe you'll even make a few friends here...I know many of us do. :) Just post your questions and we'll start answering.

      Diabetes like symptoms and more

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
