Encouraging video!

Hi! I am watching all videos about this canal. I'm a Spanish celiac. I can´t understand well, but one image it`s better than thousand words. I think that these videos are excellents to learn, you can live like other "normal" person. So, I am 18, I am celiac since 1994 aprox. When I began to eat gluten free products, there weren´t. But now, in Spain, you can go to the Mc'donals restaurant, and you can eat a hamburguer with gluten free bread, there are some great advances! it's so good! :)

So... I'm 14 and I just found out I more than likely have celiac disease. I'm kind of depressed about it all because I wont be able to eat what I loved to eat before. I also wouldn't be able to eat any food from lunch. I hate the thought that I might have it. I wont be able to just get free samples. I cant eat what my friends bring for me to eat. I hope everything will go well on this whole ordeal.

@Girliegirl7797 @mokulen22 @ikuto2213 @SydneyTheCeliacChild @dodyandshiko @gymnastbunny Coeliac is a lifelong condition. It sucks I know. Here in Oz, many food outlets (e.g. Domino's Pizza, etc.) are now offering gluten free options. Trouble is, many are FALSELY and ILLEGALLY advertising these food items. I have posted on many businesses here at hubpages.com/profile/infonolan

I'm 13 and I got it when I was 8. ( well I was diagnosed with it Ive actually had it all my life thats why I couldnt hold down regular formula and then had to switch me when I was a baby ) I am the only 1 in my school and NO ONE understands. Like for instance....

"Would you like a chip?"

"Uh...can I see the ingredients?"

"Why? I know your not on a diet your too skinny!"

"Yes ma'am but I can't eat much so...."

"Well maybe you shouldn't be so picky!!"

I feel for these kids, I wasn't diagnosed until 21 (I'm 26 now). I was able to eat what I want but of course i was sick all my childhood because of it...I suppose that's bad. :P
