Today I was out with my son doing a 10k walk raising funds for Cavendish Cancer Care at Chatsworth House, Bakewell in the Uk.

Well after the event we went for food and I ended up with a jacket potato as per usual and then my son pointed out that there was gluten free cake :) I was naturally overjoyed; one that it made me feel special that we were catered for and two, because Ive not had any in months...anyway, there was 4 choices (chocolate, victoria, carrot and coffee cake). mmmm I ordered the carrot cake and really looked forward to it, but with every mouthful I was nervous of cross contamination so ended up not enjoying it at all and leaving most of it :(

ahhhh well, one day.......

Yes, it's hard to trust publicly available gluten-free food, especially if you don't know the brand or can't question the chef.

Sometimes I feel like by eating at a new place I'm performing an act equivalent to skydiving.

Not sure where you are exactly in the UK, but I see the website "Find Me Gluten Free" covers London (and perhaps more?)

Take a look!.

 

I have had excellent luck with places recommended by people who post reviews on that site (and now, I review on there myself)

 

I was terrified to eat out at first, but when I had to travel extensively last month,  I took the plunge and now, I am  very comfortable with places recommended by others on that site. Not a single hit.

 

Hope you find something! Good luck.  :)

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience. I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself. I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten. I react to Casein, the protein in dairy. Try the AIP diet. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself. Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Gluten Allergy

      Yes, I know. Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms. High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease. Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels. Impact of supplementation...

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      You called it @knitty kitty. I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold). I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections. So it seems that I am possibly dealing that...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I'm concerned about calcium. I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free. However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs. I'd like find a decent supplement for that. Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements...

      bread

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread. It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread. Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet: https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html ...

I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.
