  1. Thanks everyone. I've cut down on the diary with a view to cutting it out again probably. The full feeling in my head, swollen eyes, clicky jaw as well as blocked nose and sneezing (which I forgot to mention initially) have all calmed down since reducing it. I guess I'll just have to be a pescatarian who doesn't eat dairy by the looks of it.
  2. I used to be vegan and gluten free but had problems with pains in my arms, exhaustion and low blood pressure so I re-introduced dairy back into my diet, just eggs and yoghurt so far. (I can't eat gluten because it gives me hives, diarrhoea, migraines and a swollen stomach). I've noticed that since re-introducing dairy I've had a return of a few symptoms...
  3. Thanks Posterboy and Corinne, that's very helpful information about the vinegar and the fish. I have put mackerel on my shopping list alongside tuna and salmon, I used to like mackerel on toast. I find a lot of fish too strong but I will slowly reintroduce them to get the nutrients. I've been struggling since posting this with slightly red cheeks/a rash...
  4. Also, thanks for saying that I shouldn't feel guilty NNowak. The allergy type symptoms I've got today made me realise I'm not imagining being gluten intolerant and that I have to stick to being gluten free to look after my health. To be honest almost everyone I've told about being gluten free have reacted helpfully and supportively, including colleagues and...
  5. Thanks everyone. Today I developed the hot red rash on my face again, so whatever I ate my body has reacted to it. I think it probably was gluten in something, although I didn't get the full range of symptoms, just the migraine and the rash. I've also got a feeling in my throat that I usually get when I eat kiwi which I seem to be allergic to, it's like a...
  6. Yes I feel conflicted about getting retested. I know there are a variety of tests you can have to check for Celiac disease, I just had the one blood test several years ago when I was still eating quite a lot of gluten. Relatives on both sides of my family have a lot of bowel issues like IBS, diverticulitis, crohns, some other stomach problem I've forgotten...
  7. Thanks for the info about B Complex vitamins Kitty. I did used to take a big tablet which contained all of them but it gave me a red itchy face which I learnt was 'niacin flush.' It went as soon as I stopped taking them. It also turned my urine bright green, so I'm now just taking B12. The blood tests didn't say I was deficient in B vitamins so I'm not sure...
  8. Thanks GFinDC and Trents for your replies. I had my bloods tested last summer when I was vegan and it turned out I was vitamin D deficient as well as slightly deficient in calcium. The pain went when I started taking Vitamin D and calcium supplements, but then it returned so I decided to stop being vegan because it didn't make sense to be vegan if I couldn...
  9. I always check labels. It doesn't label wheat or anything related to wheat or gluten in the ingredients. But there's always the possibility they make it in a factory that manufacturers wheat-containing products. Either that or I'm intolerant to something else in it.
  10. Hi everyone, I've just joined so hopefully I'm writing this in the correct section. A few years ago I was having problems with a rash on my face and a 'full' feeling in my head so I got referred to the allergy clinic at the hospital. All the tests came back negative but because I mentioned in passing that I had irritable bowel symptoms they referred...
