How Did Your Friends Help?

Well, I was wondering how other celiac's friends' (and their families) helped....

Like, my friends, were absolutely amazing with helping.

I got diagnosed on my 13th birthday (I'll be turning 16 next spring), and so one of my friends got me a big basket (litterally huge. a midsized dog could sleep in it) full of gluten free foods, most of which were really good. Some of my other friends have gluten-free pancake mix and trix on hold just for when I sleep over. And my two best friends will go out and buy the mixes to make me gluten-free yummies when they know we're going somewhere.

And their parents are really good about making strict gluten-free foods (Sometimes if they accidentally contaminate it, I let it slide).

So I was just wondering if everyone had friends who were really good about taking care of you....

I have three best friends and two of them/families are amazing about it. One of there moms was my daycare provider so she keeps bread, pancake mix, noodles at her house for me all the time, and another is willing to make anything for me and hasnt cc-ed me yet. Another has a family that is practically falling apart and she is good about supporting me through it and trying to understand when I need to vent, and some people just don't care. <_<

Whenever I go to friends house's, I usually just take my own food. If for some reason they cannot prepare it, I prepare it myself either before visiting my friend's house (stuff that taste good cold should work here such as rice salads) or at my friend's house, since I can cook my own pasta :P.

Other than that, my friends are supportive by not making a big fuss out of it. I like the fact that they don't act as though I'm different. We go out for a barbecue, they just read labels for "100% beef" or something and get those rather than fussing about it and telling me to get my own. So in the end, I'd say understanding was the way they helped me

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.
