    Hi, like Nikki I just want to say 'Hi and welcome' to Claire and Kate too ~ I live in the Midlands, Uk and have only recently become gluten-free (since end August). Although sticking to the diet has been much easier than I'd anticipated I've found it hard not to get glutened by mistake, despite reading numerous warnings on the board I had also been naive...

    I drove past McDs today and began thinking about their vanilla milkshake ! Does anyone know if their milkshakes or 'McFlurry' ice cream is gluten-free? And what about the fries? I go there occasionally with my young child so I'd really appreciate knowing if there's anything 'safe' in there. Deb

    Pataks is ready available in supermarkets in the UK and it seems that most if not all of their brand is gluten-free as well as very tasty Please post when you've tried the curry - hope you like it! Deb

    Thanks for your replies and thanks Andrea for the info - I've printed it off to show my husband as it may help him to understand why I get so tired! This really is a mine-field isn't it? I will keep reading around and I'm sure that I'll try to go dairy free but I just cannot face that right now, still adjusting to gluten-free diet Best wishes to...

    Hi I posted this yesterday but visiting the board again today I think I sort of hijacked someone else's thread I'm very new to gluten-free living and have been gluten-free for only a few weeks. By the 2nd day I felt a big improvement - no more D or rushing to the toilet after eating. I began to think that this was wonderful. However, over the last...

    Hi I'm very new to gluten-free living and have been gluten-free for only a few weeks. By the 2nd day I felt a big improvement - no more D or rushing to the toilet after eating. I began to think that this was wonderful. However, over the last couple of weeks I'm not feeling so good again. My stomach's nowhere near as bad as before gluten-free, but it...

    Well yes, here in the UK. Sorry, it's easy to just assume that all ingredients that we're familiar with are available everywhere . it's just ready-made meringue (egg whites and sugar) which is then crushed.

    Thanks for the recipe, I made some this afternoon and they were lovely It's pouring with rain here and when I fetched my four-yr old from school she was able to walk into the smell of baking and peanut butter cookies to have with her cup of tea

    Thanks everyone, I'm now suitably informed

    Hi I've read several recipes on the board that list 'shorting' as an ingredient. I don't know what this is - any clues? If its something that's particular to the US, does anyone know of a similar ingredient in the UK? Thanks!

    I'm into my fourth week of gluten-free (so far so good) and I've lost 6lbs in 3 weeks without trying (eating what I want). W'hay!!

    Hi I always use Nivea lip care (lip balm) instead of lipstick, does anyone know if it's gluten-free please? Thanks

    Interestingly, although I've had symptoms for many years, things definitely got worse after I had my last child nearly 5 yrs ago (and at the 'mature' age of nearly 39), not least of which I've piled on 4 st in as many years since her birth So I wonder if there is a connection / link?

    I completely agree with Taz's comments above, especially about doing what you must to feel healthy. Good luck to yer!

    Hi Kyalesyin I agree with Paulina's comment above and I also want to say that I think your girlfriend is very lucky to have such a caring a supportive boyfriend!! Does your g-friend get free prescriptions being a student? If not then I can't think of any financial benefits to being dx. As the comment above, she would have to start poisoning herself...

    Hi Rachel this is interesting. I've never thought about food containing histamines . I have taken anti-histamine treatments before, prescribed by the doctor, for allergic reactions that I have to certain environmental factors. I often get a very itchy, sore throat. I haven't made any connection before with what I eat. I'm very new to this (well,...
