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).

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
