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).

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
