Sure, I had met the many who avoided gluten on their own terms, but I had never met someone who had the same struggles I did. But then a few weeks ago I overheard Lauren say how she was diagnosed with celiac disease. I felt bad for being so happy, but I now had someone I could now bond with.<\/p>\n<p>After a short chat with Lauren I decided to help her out a bit. I made a list of all my favorite gluten free brands and products. I also tried to give her advice and tips. Plus, I gave her a few of the products I have in my dorm. I also gave her the tour of the dining hall and where to find the very small amount of gluten free products.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I hope that I have made Lauren feel less sad about having celiac disease. I know when I was diagnosed in 8th grade I felt like I would never eat good food again. And now I wish I could have told my past self that everything would be alright. Sure there were bumps along the way, but dietary restrictions should never make someone stop living their life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had never met someone with celiac disease before.
