    I would have to say that the UK is the best place to be living gluten-free....I just did a MA program here, and find it EASIER to cope than living in the states. Good luck!

    FYI Cadburys in the UK has an excellent website that allows you to sort their products by food allergies/intolerances...they do have many products that are gluten free! Good luck.

    Hello, I was wondering if I could have your thoughts on something. I was diagnosed two years ago after getting to the point of nearly dying. I have maintained a gluten-free diet since then, but have continued to have strange symptoms, including new symptoms I didn't have when I was eating gluten. The worst part has been continued stomach, skin, mood...

    I put up with this for years as well. It makes you start to doubt yourself. My only advice to you is listen to what you think is true (in your own head and body)..... I know that there are specialized Celiac clinics in the UK...there is one near me in Oxford. Can you get a referral to one of these clinics? I was only diagnosed last April and it takes...

    I found that Trader Joes and Whole Foods have gluten free food lists on their websites. PCC is very helpful if you just ask. Mark, an employee at the Freemont store, new all the great new gluten-free products the last time I was there. Good luck!

    When I get glutenated, I have the symptoms of mental illness. I have paranoia and hallucinations. It is terrifying, but for me it goes away completely when I am gluten free.

    Hi, I was just back visiting my home town, Seattle, and I had a great dining experience at the Pink Door on Post Alley in the Pike Place market. Our waitress was very well informed about celiac disease and helped me find what I could eat on the menu AND the chef came out and talked to me. He also seemed to know what he was talking about. It was great...

    I had terrible balance and walking problems too! I would be standing still and just tip over. I would also have the feeling that I couldn't really control my legs. It was terrifying. I could also barely type. My symptoms went away pretty quickly after going gluten free. Good luck!

    Being cold all the time is a symptom of thyroid malfunction, and people with celiac disease are more at risk for thyroid problems. My coldness went away after I went gluten free and my thyroid function improved.

    When I went off gluten I got "nail in my brain" headaches for a few weeks. I still occasionally get them (maybe once a month) but the longer I am gluten free the less they happen.
