    Connie Congratulations on your new arrival. I just wondered if you received progesterone injections or other support during your pregnancy? Jojes

    Debmidge Thank you for your suggestion about doctors here but I am Irish and plan to see a Coeliac specialist in Ireland in June. I was diagnosed based on a biopsy as the relevent blood tests are not available here. According to the biopsy there was damage to my villi but not apprently extensive - perhaps the sampling area wasn't representative of the...

    I must admit that I feel very disheartened at the thought of such a restricted diet for the rest of my life. Gluten-free I can handle (I think!) but the rest of the intolerances don't leave anything tasty to eat; living on rice cakes, chicken, bananas, nothing to get excited about, but still not better. Does anyone know of a scientific reason why withdrawing...

    Well thank you all very much for your input. I'm on the blandest of blandest of diets now - no lettuce, no soy, no OJ, no tomatoes, no coffee, no choc. Just rice, chicken, rice, fish, rice, rice - Dr Atkins must be rolling in his grave! Before Christmas i'd hardly had as much as a full bowl of the stuff in years! Today I noticed that my tummy started...

    Thanks Judy & Mariann for your input. I've been keeping a food diary and I end up just staring at it on a bad day and can't see any pattern. Will try eliminate tomatoes from today as well as OJ - what do you guys take your iron supplements with if not OJ? As I mentioned in an earlier post, I live in the Philippines which means access to gluten-free foods...

    I was diagnosed at Christmas after biopsy and improved slowly on a gluten-free diet throughout January, although energy levels did not improve. Main symptom was chronic diarrhea. Had gluten accident (!) early February, diarrhea for a 6 days, then genuine gluten accident at the end of February. Despite being gluten-free since, I still have daily diarrhea of...

    Judy How long does the diarrhea last after having dairy? A doctor I spoke to today (my husband in desperation got in touch with a different GI doc) was of the opinion that any gut reaction to dairy should be gone by 4 days. Is this because he doesn't understand celiac disease, do you think? During my last gluten accident recovery period, I did eat cheese...

    Mariann I am so grateful for your reply to my message; it sounds like I just have try keep hydrated while my system rebalances itself. Unfortunately my diet is very Western, although I haven't been a big bread or pasta eater for years, pre-diagnosis I loved oatmeal and had a daily bagel. I'm looking into ordering gluten-free foods from Australia; breakfast...

    I am Irish and living in Manila, Philippines. After years of IBS, I developed chronic diarrhea on a trip to Ireland in October. After a few months I eventually conceded that this wasn't normal and visted a GI specialist here in Manila. I mentioned my apparent intolerance to wheat and dairy and that my symptoms seemed to have been triggered by eating lots...
