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).

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
