celiacs disease is not actually an allergy... its an intolerance

#4 you are wrong they spelled it right... and for those who are telling them to stop whining, you DON'T have the disease so therefore you DON'T know how hard it is. When you have to completely change everything you eat, and especially if you go to college... its very very hard. I feel for them I know what is like..

"It's Coeliac. You could at least learn to spell it since you have it." It's spelled both ways; quit being an arrogant douche and recognize alternate spellings when you see them. "YDI for letting it go on for a year without at least looking your symptoms up online" Yes, because all we need is people self-diagnosing themselves with a brain tumor when they have a headache. If you have a problem, go to a professional, not the Internet.

My mom has had that disease for years. There are plenty of great gluten-free products, like rice pasta, rice/corn flour, rice bread, etc. Every year I bake my mother a gluten-free cake for her birthday. It's not so bad. Plus, rice flour brownies are delicious.

THAT EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!! it'll suck at first but don't worry life is much better without gluten aaand you lose a ton of weight!

#4 and #13 it can be spelled either way, depending on the country you live in. I have Celiac too. It is difficult to find foods, because once you have it, you realize that most of the food is not that good. Once you get situated with the disease, you should experiment with recipes, that is what I have done. And I found many recipes that were quite tasty. Also, the store bought breads are not that appetizing.

#15: Said everything I wanted to, and if anymore idiotic comments arise send them to #15(:

Anyone who clicks YDI is very inconsiderate. Until you have been diagnosed with something like this you truly do not understand how devastating it can be. I was diganosed a year ago as gluten, soy, dairy and egg intolerant. There are also about 20 foods and 20 spices I can have once every 4 days because I have a slight reaction to them. Finding out you have to eliminate a food is devastating. It will be a hard road, but the good news is that it is so much easier to have gluten-intolerance now than it was 20 years ago. Most restaurants including fast food places like Panera have allergy information if you ask about it, you can find out ANY allergens in their foods. A lot of restaurants now offer gluten free menus (for instance Outback), depending on where you are there are more options. there is a gluten free bakery 3 minutes from my house. Pick up "The Gluten-Free Bible", it is wonderful at helping you learn how to live gluten free, and also dealing with the emotional aspect of it. Gluten is in a ton of things, so you need to get educated fast. I also recommend going to www.ceceliasmarketplace.com, they offer a gluten-free guide for over the counter medicines and foods etc. Also get self-sealing envelopes, the ones you lick are often dusted with gluten, I forgot a few months after being diagnosed, licked one at the ATM and was sick for days. That said, although having celiac's sucks, please be grateful for all the foods you can still eat. It is so much harder when you tack on even more food intolerances.

ok so i have celiac also and this is nottt and FML its not that bad at all. theres a ton of stuff out there its not that big of a deal

bummer, bread is awesome, imo eat it anyways
