hi i'm becca. i'm 14 and have had celiac for over a year now. pm me if you want my email, or just to talk. Right now I'm on a special diet for another disease i have, so all i can eat is formula (like the kind babies have-which i get through an ng tube cuz it tastes nasty ), cantelope, and potatoes. I was gluten free for a year before this diet and felt much better.

becca
I'm 14 years old. diagnosed may 2007. also have eosinophilic esophagitis- and have an ng tube for that.

It doesn't always stink, but at times it seems that way. It's a way of life, that eventually you WILL get used to. If you have a craving for something that you can't have then eat something even better that you can have, even if it's not healthy it's healthier than having gluten. I don't really know what it's like to go from having gluten filled stuff to none at all but I do have a curiosity/ a want to try what everyone else is having. In kindergarten I took a goldfish cracker from someone ate it and was vomiting for ten days..this has happened many times unfortunately. Hope this helps!!!
Alli
Gluten free since I was 11 months old
positive blood test
positive biopsy

I do. I'm 15 and was just diagnosed in January. I haven't found any that's near my age and willing to talk!

email me any time katester....allisonnn04@aim.com or softballstarallie@yahoo.com. I check it every day so email me if you wanna talk or post on here!! I love talking to other celiacs!!!!!!

Okay well just wondering if this happened/happens to anyone else:

My parents had a middle with my teachers because they need to be aware that I have celiac. Thats FINE, BuT they are annoying about it, like I don't know what I can and can't have or I want to try something I know I can't have(well yah there are temptations but I can get over it!!!)...anyone else feel like you just want to be treated the same and have them still realize the situation..my parents don't have celiac and they don't understand. It's so frusterating!

I hate going to resuraunts with my mom.

First thing she does when the server comes is jumps on them with "No Gluten and this and that"

Its annoying and embarrassing.

Especially because I'm not 5. I can tell the server my needs and ask questions.

She doesn't have Celiac either.

I'm the only one in my immediate family...
>.<

I totally understand...anyone like completely emotional some days and you cannot figure out why?

Hi, another celiac here new to the forums

I was diagnosed at 14 months of age, and now I'm 16 and well.

@Alli. My parents also informed my old school I was celiac, mainly because I entered when I was 10 years, and still not completely aware of what I was allergic of. But after that one time, my parents had no more contact with the school regarding being celiac.

When I used to go to camps or such, my mum would always enter and explain things. It could be a bit irritating at times, but I just accepted it.

The main issue here is trust. If you can show your parents that you can uphold your diet they will start trusting you. For these last two years, any camp / dinner I went to, I ordered for myself because now they know that I know my condition better than they do (since I'm the only celiac in my family. Well my father is slightly intolerant but he still takes gluten).

Also, as for completely emotional. Yes, I do. It's called being a teenager. Everyone passes through such days at our age. We just have something to blame it on (even though it might not be directly influential.)

@CranberryThief. Give them a few months to understand that you can handle it on yourself. They'll start backing off slowly themselves.

Also, Aim / MSN / Y!IM should be in my profile. Anyone feel free to hit me up. I tend to suffer from boredom a bit

Yea, i know what you mean, i was glutened in school(accidently) and i tried telling the receptionist and she just kept asking questions, then told me i couldnt possibly be having a reaction that quickly (i dont think shes ever seen a reaction of any type). She told me to go to lesson and see the teacher if i still felt ill. which i did, lucky for me my welsh teacher's father has coeliac and after telling me to read the label more carefully she let me go home. (In my defence the label had sutible for coeliacs on it). Most of my teachers have actually been ok, even though last year i always seemed to be missing physics to have bloods done. When i explained why to the same teacher earlier this year, i found that she already knew. (My form tutor had told her the night before, we were on a camping trip). But yea, sometimes i wish the teachers didnt know because that way they wouldnt act like i cant speak for myself sometimes.

Hey guys whats going on?? I was diagnosed w/ celiac disease in early june and have only met one person that has this disease........ anyways hit me up on my face book i would love to get to know you. my name is Alex Stoyanoff. Hope to talk to you soon!!!

I understand too. It took my immediate family three years to get used to it but they're getting there! and yes, i get really emotional some days and can't figure it out! so does my twin. we're 17 and would love to talk to you guys. No one seems to want to listen to me when I need a friend, a best friend other than my sister whom I'm reallllly close to, to talk to so I stopped trying. It' ll be nice to share stories and minor frustrations with someone who truly understands!

Ya i hate that some days i just get really depressed and angry for no reason.

me too.

I'll talk!
I don't know anybody on here.
I'm fifteen, from California. I found out I wasn't able to have gluten the day after my birthday last year. So December 2nd.

I'm 19, i know, just barely a teen still, but I was diagnosed 2 years ago and would love to talk to other people with celiac. My name is kelsey and you can email me anytime at anamia4life89@yahoo.com
