Hi,

I am a 'new coeliac, only finding out 3 weeks ago, I live in yorkshire, England with my lovely husband, and 3 boys and 1 girl, the youngest son age 10 is awaiting blood results to see if he has coeliac too. I intend to get all the children tested as well. Nice to find a message board to post on and look forward to hearing others experience of being coeliac. Bye for now, ju :lol:

Welcome and hello Yorkshire family!

Hope all is well with you and your family. Let us know how the test results go. Do doctors in England test for celiac immediately when a patient comes to them with intestinal symptoms of celiac, or do they putter around like American doctors and give IBS or collitis as the diagnosis?

Are there Gluten Free restaurants in Yorkshire area?

My husband is Celiac and we live in New Jersey (east coast next to New York City - we are about an hour drive to NYC, but never go there. Last time I was there was about 4 years ago to see a Broadway show). Some chain restaurants have gluten free items on menu, but the wait staff hasn't a clue as to what that's all about.

Well gotta run and get ready for work.

Take care, Deb

Hi julietiff - welcome to the board!!! :D

This is a great place filled with a lot of useful information, support and encouragement!

Please let us know how your son's test results come out. You will find a lot of parents of Celiac's here, myself included. My 9 yesr old daughter and I both have Celiac and have been gluten-free since Sept 03. The diet was hard at first but once we felt better it was worth it!

Take care

As a fellow Yorkshire Celiac, thought I should say 'welcome' as well...

And in answer to another query - yuh huh, we have restaurants that cater for celiacs. Vegetarian celiacs as well for good measure (i.e. me). And if in doubt its always easy to get Chinese anyway.

Anyhow - aye, welcome lass, and all that sort of thing. Recommend checking out the gluten-free ranges in Booths and Sainsburys in particular. The pasta from Booths is especially good, provided you cook it for about twice the time recommended on the pack...

Good luck with the diet. Get used to it after a while, honest...

Hi,

Welcome to the board....this is the best forum you can find to post questions about Celiac Disease... :) ...so you came to the right place. I'm sure you'll find this board helpful as we all have...just keep in mind, though, that you'll have to be extra careful since most of this information is regarding American products....and the way the manufacturers mess things up, a product that's made gluten-free in the US, might not be made gluten-free in England....just wanted to warn you so that you wouldn't make any extra mistakes and not know why. :angry:

Anyway, welcome to the board and good luck.....

Jasa, I think in England the best bet eating out is traditional Indian (curry house) rice dishes and NOT Chinese.

Most Chinese restaurants/takeaways use wheat soy sauce.

Asda & Tesco in England stock gluten-free soy sauce BTW, Sanchi Tamari, says 'gluten free' on the label.

Hi, I am in Yorkshire too.

Tesco is the best supermarket I have found for Gluten Free foods. I have multiple food allergies and all own brand tesco products are labeled properly (has an allergy section on the pack).

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My husband just had shingles going on 7 weeks now. We had been putting Vaseline on the blisters and lidocaine cream and he was prescribed an antiviral. Also he still has the nerve pain it was bad and is getting better it is his upper left torso. His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every...

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      My husband just had shingles going on 7 weeks now. We had been putting Vaseline on the blisters and lidocaine cream and he was prescribed an antiviral.  Also he still has the nerve pain it was bad and is getting better it is his upper left torso. His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.
