Just about anything can be used to make an obstacle course, including paper cups, toilet paper tubes, small toy cars, and building blocks. Be aware that small toy cars have paint on them, which could make your hamster sick if he eats the paint. Watch him closely and remove the cars if you see him to start to nibble on them. You could use an open area of your floor that outside of your hamster's cage. You could also use your bathtub or a large cardboard box. If you use your bathtub, line the bathtub with a towel. The towel will give your hamster more traction as he moves through the obstacle course. The scent of the treat will motivate your hamster to move even faster through the obstacle course. You will want to make sure that he does not eat any part of the obstacle course that could make him sick.

When it comes to forming new friendships, you'll have to stick your neck out. You can't expect new friends to just fall into your lap; it'll take effort. Join new clubs or organizations at your school. Choose a new place in your community where other people your age hang out. When you meet someone new, show your interest. Ask the person about themselves and try to find things the two of you have in common to build a connection. Don't focus on the subject of your estranged friend. Instead, just try to get to know the new person. To ensure that future friendships are healthier, think about what kinds of people you want to be around. If you and your ex-best friend grew apart, consider what you would want in a friend today. Choose people who are positive influences and who share similar values. Make a list of positive traits you want in a friend. Don't be rigid to this list, but use it to determine if potential new friends fit the bill. In addition to choosing positive friends, you also want to be that friend to someone else. Reflect on some of the ways you could have been a better friend to your ex-bestie. As you form new friendships, try to develop better habits this time around. Good friends are excellent listeners, able to let their friends be themselves, and are there when their friends need them. Find ways in which you can start being a better friend. You may have never considered it, but there may be someone among your current friends who is best friend material. Spend more time with people you feel a connection with and see what unfolds. Maybe you have a regular study buddy that you don't know all that well. You might say to him after a study session, "Hey, man, I was thinking of grabbing a bite to eat. Would you like to join me?" Spending time with this person one-on-one outside your usual context may help you get to know them better. You don't have to rush off one week after the breakup and select a new best friend. The best friendships form over time, as mutual trust and respect develop. Don't set out to replace your old friend. Instead, focus on forming good supportive relationships. When a potential new "best" friend presents themselves, you'll know. Don't allow just anyone to hold that title.

One-sentence summary -- Put yourself out there. Be selective. Be a better friend. Consider getting to know some of your current friends better. Don't attempt to replace your former bestie.

Many physicians and allergy specialists can offer skin and blood tests to determine which foods may be causing your symptoms. Celiac disease results from an immune system reaction to gluten that is caused by the development of antibodies working to attack gluten like a foreign substance in the body. A biopsy of the small intestine can be collected and study to confirm whether gluten intolerance is caused by Celiac disease or a simple sensitivity. In individuals with Celiac disease, the villi (similar to small hairs lining the inner intestinal walls) are often damaged and matted under the magnification of a microscope lens. Visual inspection of the intestines can help identify whether the gluten sensitivity is caused by true Celiac disease or another condition. Because Celiac disease damages the small intestine's villi, which absorb nutrients from food, individuals with the disease may suffer from vitamin deficiencies. Individuals with gluten intolerance do not necessarily have difficulty absorbing nutrients from other foods, unless the intolerance is actually caused by Celiac disease.
