I'm a college student in Kansas. You might not count me, though. I'm 42 and going to Colorado Tech Online. I live in southeast Kansas, 20 miles south of Pittsburg.

My son-in-law is from McPherson, and he and my daughter met at K-State. And you're from wheat country! I'm a relatively new Texas resident, raised in Iowa, lived in Nebraska.

Kansan here. However, I'm a 36 year old mother of three, so I don't qualify as being "your age." But, I am gluten intolerant and my daughter is "confirmed" intolerant, while my baby (14 months) is on a gluten-free diet as preventative measure as recommended by his pediatrician.

I'm still very new to this, my daughter went gluten-free in June. I'm often frustrated and confused. And, find myself wandering back to this site looking for help, insight, and support.

I'm 33 so I'm not actually your age either but we live south of Wichita. MY DH (31) and DS (4) are on the gluten free diet and my DD (1 1/2) and I eat a little gluten now and then. DH has been gluten-free for a year now and DS has been gluten-free since June. I'm a Iowa native who married a Kansan so here I am around a bunch of wheat. :) Welcome to the board! Kendra

Hi am new to the board and new to the thinking I may need to switch to a gluten-free lifestyle. I live in Kansas in Derby just south of Wichita.

Hang in there Victoria. It DOES get much easier. This is a great place to learn and ask questions. Things are very overwhelming in the beginning. You will quickly learn to be a label reader. For now stick with whole foods (fresh veggies and plain meats) until your tummy heals.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
