Hi-o. I'm under my mum's account but i'm going to get my own as soon as i can figure it out. I've been gluten-free since March. I'm also lactose intolerant. I just turned 12 and no one I know has Celiac (well, except for a boy in my grade but I don't really know him and we aren't friends). One of my friends (a pen pal, really) is being tested but she doesn't have her results yet. I'd really like to just be able to talk with kids my own age sometimes about being gluten-free. By the way, my fave ice cream is Turtle Mountain...we get it at WholeFoods and I love Pamela's gluten-free bread mix. It's really REALLY yummy. (especially with raisins and cinnoman...mmm mmm good!) :lol:

Hiya!

My name is Ashley and I'll be 16 in a few months. I'm lactose-introlerant and a Celiac too. Wow! It's amazing you actually have another Celiac in your grade! I'm searching at my highschool to see if there's any other Celiacs out there, but, no luck. Oy, Pamela's bread mix IS the absolute best. If ya need anyone to talk to me, I'm here :) Feel free PM me. I'll be hoping the best for you, it is a hard situation to be in sometimes.

Lol, that'd be great! I love the cake mixes too...tastes just like a chocolate cake to me!

Sure enough! I haven't been able to take lessons yet, but, I really do want to go into the Air Force as a pilot or a doctor. I'm praying for a waiver for celiac disease so I can get in. I'm in JROTC right now. My boyfriend and I are big aviation freaks! :lol:

We have the AFJROTC at our highschool = Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp. You learn drill, marching, and other ceremony movements and activities. We also have Special teams (Saber, Color Guard, and Drill Team), Kitty Hawk Air Society and some others. In my opinion, it's not a hard class. You do have to be dedicated to taking care of your uniform (which is worn every Wednesday) and other things, but, it's a great class.

Ooo, never tried Namaste's. I'll have to look for it.

      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.

      @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 🥹
