Hi

I'm in Swansea, Wales. I buy most of my gluten-free food in Tescos and go to Sainsburys whenever I can for little extras. Morrisons also stock some gluten-free products. I get Glutafin Gluten Free Bread Mix on prescription and my husband makes wonderful fresh bread in our bread maker. The smell is so good that I can't wait for it to come out of the machine. I don't make it as you have to measure the ingredients carefully and I can't be bothered!

Anybody in Mallorca? I was born in bonny Scotland but have lived on this beautiful island for the past ten years.

It is however, in my limited experience of 2 months, sadly lacking in the gluten-free food department(in stores not restuarants). I´d be absolutely delighted if somebody out there can prove me wrong and point me in the right direction.

Do you have an El Corte Ingles in Majorca?

I found some gluten-free items in their shop in Tenerife.

I lived in Mallorca for 2 years from 1991-1993, I wasn't diagnosed as coeliac back then so I guess it has changed a lot!

glutenfree-onthego has places in Mallorca listed as the guy who owns the site lives there

Barkat now make a waffle ice cream cone too!

I live in England. Sainsbury's have started to do a really good "free from" range which has some really nice food in it (the chicken nugges are my favourite). Unfortunately the Sainsburys near me doesn't have most of the range so I had to go to one about 45minutes away and stock up! :P

I agree. Am up in Birmingham and have been since moving to the UK. As stand-by's and tucked into the freezer I think Sainsbury's products are a blessing. I do have to be careful since not everything is ideal for my particular issues but they help when I'm running late and a meal has to appear on the table asap. I have to travel to Wolverhampton to shop there conveniently tho' :rolleyes: Tesco's is another one of my standbys because it is so close to the flat. Although I have to keep an eagle eye on the ingredient listings and they are a bit pricey all round. I've yet to fine gluten free sausages tho' in the supermarket. And an order at the butcher is costly. Do have a recipe for making my own -- it'll have to wait until I am feeling more adventurous.

Marks and Spencer do some sausages that are gluten free; they are just in the normal sausage bit, They have the crossed grain symbol on.

Tesco's and Asda also do gluten-free sausages (both in the chilled aisles - Tesco ones are the 'Free From' range and the Asda's are just marked gluten-free)

London :)

I'm pretty lucky as there are so many places around so I have a good choice of supermarkets/restaurants, though this doesn't stop the restaurants from inadvertantly glutening me :angry: !!

      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.
