no i dont think i have but i will now thanks

ive been glutine free since january 2004 but im still finding it hard to cope exspecially when the people i live with and the people i associate with eat regular food around me but they understand if i get upset sometimes

im slowly putting on weight, ive gained about 2 stone since ive been on this diet which is good

ive got some problems with soya as well which is in most glutine free foods

i manage to get my food from tescos, sainsburys and a health food shop down the road

does anyone know of anywhere to get other glutine free foods from insted of supermarkets?

i live on the isle of wight and its a pretty small island with not many resources that the mainland has

thanks

I don't think that there would be anywhere else to get gluten free foods from other than the ones you've mentioned.(especially as you are on a such a small isle)

Once you join Coeliac UK you will receive a book-listing all main brand foods that are ok to eat-so it's worth joining for the book!

Here's a link to CUK

Open Original Shared Link you can apply online.

You don't mention how you were diagnosed,but if you were diagnosed by biopsy you are entitled to some gluten free foods on prescription from your G.P (bread,pasta and flour)

Hi Kate, I'm a 27 year old vegetarian coeliac living in Milton Keynes, 40 miles north of London. I'm writing a book on coeliac disease now. I highly recommend fresh foods, cooking from scratch etc... Always handy to have gluten free foods on standby but it really is easier to adopt a gluten-free lifestyle if you are prepared to take a different view on what you cook...

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
