I did a gluten challenge and got so sick, I'm PARANOID about gluten! But, yes, a hot buttered homemade toast sure would be nice. eKatherine, sure do wonder about those biscuits you mentioned- could you share the recipe? I don't know if that's "off-topic", sorry.

Wow. What an appropriate time for me to read this topic. It has been 1 1/2 years since I have been on the gluten free diet. I have been doing so well, never purposely eating anything forbidden on purpose. I had completely lost the urge to eat anything but gluten free foods. Then, yesterday, at a family gathering, someone brought out a homemade apple pie! This pie was bigger than any pie I ever laid eyes on. (maybe that was all in my mind) But it was homemade from bottom crust to the little laces across the top. The vanilla icecream sat beside it and I just felt myself foaming at the mouth. I have never had such a strong urge to cheat. Then, I remembered how I got glutened 2 months ago at a BBQ and how my weekend was ruined and how painful it was. But I just can't shake that feeling I got yesterday, my mouth is watering right now as I think about it......(oh, and by the way, I just ate the icecream!!)

I can definitely relate to the wish to partake in special celebrations that center around food. The social aspect of this illness is one of the hardest parts. But on the bright side, it's easy to make really good pie crust gluten-free & most fillings can be adapted by replacing flour with tapioca. Now yeast bread.... that's my tormentor. I need to knead!

After a year of being (what I thought was ) gluten-free... I made a beautiful crusty loaf of bread that I'd been known for earlier... and my daugher walked in to find me stuffing a huge buttered piece in my mouth. It was like a slow-motion movie... her yelling "N-O-O-O-O-O-O!!" as I chomped down!!

Nothing happened!! I thought maybe I could "plan" a cheat every month or so... next month I was gonna try Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza!! I was so excited.

I didn't try it the next month, but the next time I was accidentally glutened... it really hurt me.

No more planned cheats... and w/ the help of folks here who showed me stuff I was doing WRONG... no more cheats at all!!

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems.

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
