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).

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

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

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

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
