fer all u real teens out there in school and stuff, do any of u guys(or girls lol) ever like to do stuff like act or sing or draw? does any bodies speak a nuther language or been out of ur country?????? im kinda bored right now...........

i love to draw!!!!!
not sing, becuase that would probably hurt some peoples ears lol.

yeah i like to draw and sing

i'm taking spanish right now. i like to sing to myself but not outloud. and i love to play sports

I luv sports! I like volleyball, basketball(tons) tennis is ok, i love to ski and thats most of it.

I don't sing, act, or draw...but I used to dance! I'm definitely a soccer player though. But I had to quit once I got so sick

I am a soccer player too! i love it. did you play on any teams. i hope you can get better soon so you can play again

Yea I had been playing on teams since I was 5 years old I played on our high school team actually, and we won the championship! It was so much fun. How about you, do you play for your school? What position do you play? I played left midfielder, and when I was a little younger I played some goalie.

I sing and run...
occasionally at the same time but not normally cuz that gets ya really out of breath, lol
I'm in my 3rd year of Spanish and I want to become fluent in it.

I like to skate and draw. But mostly skate.

yah i have been playing for long time on city teams, and i am on the highschool team. i play forward and some times center mid. i love playing it just so fun

I know I love running. That's why I love playing midfielder. You don't really have to ever sprint, but you're constantly running the whole time. I love it. How old are you? I'm graduating this year so I have to decide if I want to play in college or not. I don't think I want to play on a competitive team...if I'm healthy enough to play, maybe i'll join a team that's just for fun.

I used to play soccer but i quit i don't know why.

yah i love running, and i am so happy cause track starts on monday and i do long distance. i am 15 almost 16. how old are you? my older sister played soccer in college and she had fun. do you do track or anything?

Ben- That's cool, what position did you play?

Kassie- Oh that's awesome! I never joined track, but I wish I had Do you mean that you run cross country? How many miles do you run a day?? It seems so tiring.
I'm almost 18

when i was like really little i was on a soccer team
i used to swim
and now ive like skied quite a few times

Hi everyone! This is my first post so bear with me . I live in England and have been diagnosed for about a year but I've only just found this site. I am currently at sixth form doing my A Levels and hope to go to University next September. My hobby is to dance; I do jazz, tap, ballroom and irish

peacenlove_girl17- no i dont do cross country because its the same time as soccer, but next year i am goin to see if i can do both. um i havent been running for a while but next week i will be running around 3-10 miles a day, usualy probably like 6 or 7. i think it feels refreshing to run

Kaylabobayla- i love to ski too, but i am goin to learn to snowboard now, i even have one just havent been on it yet

I pretty much played every thing exept goalie.
Yes you should learn how to snow board it fun but dont try any rails if you fall on a rail it hurts.

Im thinking about joining track... im not sure tho. iv never ever played REAL soccer, though but I think id of liked it cuz I like most all sports. Hey ben, where are you from? like state wise??
well, g2g! CU!

Im from california.

Me too. Im from northern California, how bout you?

I like to draw, but I'm not very good at it. I am taking Spanish right now. I like to play tennis, basketball, and I love to hang out with the horses. I love to ride.

Im from central near fresno.

I love to draw. It's probably one of my favorite things to do. I'm in my 2nd year of Spanish but really can't speak it very well.

hey all. been diagniosed in 2004. i'm 18 and from Australia. I like to play Rugby union for my club and unit (3 RAR), that's about all the free time i get! Training and drills are most of my time, although i get to use the base's computers for about an hour each day.

Hey im from CA!! WHOOP WHOOP! I SING ACT AND DANCE. I WAS DIAGNOSED 2-3 WEEKS AGO! ITS REALLY HARD! I DONT KNOW ANYONE WITH CELIAC DESIE SORRY ITS LATE AND IM TIRED SO IM NOT SPELLING CORRECTLY RIGHT NOW! WELL THIS IS LIKE THE HARDEST THING EVER!

Ya im from San Diego! Ya there r lots of support groups here! i love the support groups not celiac! i hate whoever made it!!!!!! GRRRRR!!!!! Well ya do anyone act sing dance lacross gymnastics. the only reason i ask is cuz i do all of that belive it or not!!!!

psh, thats fine, believe me no ones gonna care considering w'ere welcoming people twice as old as tat.... i dunno who but in case ur wonderin(whoever) thats not a bad thing

hey
I found out I was celiac about 2 years ago. I like to play soccer and ultimate, I am on my schools track team. Where are you guys from?

Lacrosse? That's a scary sport. Very painful.

I like to run. I'm on my school's track and cross country teams, and although i'm not amazing at it, i just have a great time. there's nothing like running to make you feel better (or to stop those gluten crazvings )

For fun I like to play soccer, and in the winter I go up north and snowboard with my cousins. Also drawing and writing are fun hobbies for when I'm bored and can't excercise (I live in Florida and right now there's so much smoke outside from the wildfires that it's not healthy to go out).

As far as languages go, I'm in my third year of spanish in school and I'm also fluent in Hindi because I'm half Indian.

Oh yeah, and I'm really glad I found this site!

hey, you speak a lot of languages! I just speak English (obviouslly) and kinda french. I live in bc. When did you find out you were celiac? [color="#FF00FF"][/color][size="2"][/size]

i was diagnosed the summer after 9th grade. almost a year ago. how about you?

french is an amazing language, it's so beautiful!
and although i speak hindi, i'm no good at grammar or anything because i've never had formal instruction.

i also love to play soccer and i love running. i am on the track team. whats ultimate? thats cool that you can speak Hindi.

MJS - I was diagnosed 2 years ago.

Kassie - Ultimate is kinda like football but with a frisbee and no tackling and no..actually it's not really like football, but the same idea.

i love to sing it is like one of my favorite things to do.

i was diagnosed when i was 6 years old and i am 13 now.

hey everyone,

my little sister has been experiencing celiac-like symptoms and my family and i were wondering about the testing. what are the blood tests available, and can her pediatrician set them up? (we don't know much about testing because i was diagnosed through endoscopy while checking out a different problem. but we don't want her to have to get one)

hey,
I was diagnosed when I went to the doctor (just my local clinic) and they noticed I was having celiac like symptoms. Then they just gave me a normal blood test and they did a TTG count in my blood and then the results were positve. I don't know if that will help you but good luck!

Are you lactose intallerent as well? I am not really sure if I am I just have a little bit of dairy and see how I feel. It seems to be fine for me.

Lacrosse is an awesome sport. so is ultimate! luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv those.

Hey, I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago! I used to play soccer but quit so I could spend more time riding. Lately I haven't been able to ride cuz iv been sick. going gluten free is a lot harder than i thought it would be. i also have eosinophilic esophagitis (e.e.), which is like an allergy. They thought i had e.g.e. (Eosinophilic gastroenteritis), too, which is a food allergy. So I was on an elimination diet (no milk, wheat, eggs, nuts, fish, or soy) for a month. that didnt help so they did more tests and so now we think i have celiac disease. I am on the 3 month no gluten test.

p.s. i am also lactose intolerent.

MJS,
for the blood tests, have her pediatrician order the TTG and AMA or Ema (I cant remember.) I don't know exactly what they stand for, but those are the ones that they use for diagnosis. Also, there is a "Celiac Panel" which has everything in it, except not always the 2 i mentioned. So, make SURE those are in there.

Kassandra

thanks. my parents are gonna wait until after school gets out to get her tested. hopefully she's not a celiac.

yeah i think lacrosse is cool. i played pickup games with my cousins in arizona but i live in florida and there aren't any teams anywhere near where i live. we have city leagues for ultimate, though, and lots of my friends play on them. it's a great way to stay in shape.

i really love running. does anyone here go to cross country camp? my teammates and i are looking for a good but affordable camp to attend over the summer.
