Hi Laura How odd. My post did not appear I posted the 1st post at 8.36am & did not repost until 2.26pm having checked the board 5 times and my 1st post was not there. Very strange? BTW I did click on my user name & the post was there, just not on the board (5 hours later?) As you can tell from my messgage I do not double post, but it really...

Hi there, I posted this earlier & it appears to have vanished, so if I double post my apologies! I'm from the UK & we are visiting WDW in May (which appears to be coeliac heaven!). Just wondered if anyone could recommend some gluten-free breakfast cereal for an adult which isn't too sweet & is relatively healthy - can you get a gluten...

Hi Camilla, Am off to London for the weekend on Friday. Smollensky's Bar & Grill have gluten-free options & for a good value quicker meal Nando's peri peri chicken restaurants are great. The supermarkets (esp Tesco, Sainsbury & Waitrose all usually have good 'Free From' selections. HTH Kate

Hi there, I'm from the UK & we are visiting WDW in May (which appears to be coeliac heaven!). Just wondered if anyone could recommend some gluten-free breakfast cereal for an adult which isn't too sweet & is relatively healthy - can you get a gluten-free porridge (oatmeal?). Also I'm a bit of a chocoholic & would love to know of some...

Hi, I've been diagnosed about 4 months now & am doing fine, but I have one query that's really bugging me. Pre diagnosis I was very ill & my symptoms were severe (projectile vomiting, d, big weight loss, exhaustion). I had the same type of symptoms for about the first 6 weeks gluten-free, but not as harsh. Since then I have been absolutely...

Hi, Yes I did. Fortunately my biopsy results came back before the blood test (had blood on National Health & they lost them, but decided to go privately to see GI as I felt so rough). So it's definitely possible - I posted the same question a while back & got some great replies. Good luck Kate

Hi Mike I was diagnosed mid October so am over 7 weeks gluten-free now & feel great. My main symptoms apart from the exhaustion were sickness & diarrhoea with horrible nausea. On going gluten free, I felt really good for 2 or 3 days, but then the nausea came back & lasted for about a week. The great news is that it should go away & your...

Hi Nikki & Christine, Thanks for your replies - I was rather confused about why my blood was negative & a bit concerned about what the possible outcomes would have been with only the blood test. The diet is great though (although I am beginning to really miss real lager - roll on a good gluten-free substitute!) Kate

Hi I was diagnosed by biopsy on 17th October (carried out by private medical insurance on 4th October). I had an Iga Anti TTg blood test on the 10th October (blood test carried out by National Health Sevice in England) & it came back negative. If I had not had private medical insurance, the NHS would certainly not have sent me for a biopsy in an...

Hi there, Sainsbury's & Morrison supermarkets also have really good 'Free from' food ranges (Tesco & Waitrose are great too) & in terms of restaurants La Tasca (tapas) has gluten free dishes on the menu & I think is fairly widespread & Nando's too where most of the dishes are gluten free. Also if you're travelling in Europe look...

Hi Everyone Sorry in advance for posting a question which may already have been answered (or is simply dumb!) Was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago, & have been gluten-free for about 3 weeks. I am feeling much better but with the usual newbie lapses! My question is this, if you (unknowingly) eat a large amount of gluten, will your reaction be more...

Hi, How weird. Me too. I've been gluten free for almost 3 weeks now & find I have to get up a couple of times a night to pee & that sometimes the sheer volume of urine (sorry TMI!) seems like I've been drinking gallons of water before bedtime when I actually haven't had too much to drink? I always used to sleep right through. I do notice when...

Hi Claire, Just wanted to say that I hope you start to feel a bit better soon. You poor old thing - it's no wonder you're feeling rotten if you're so anaemic, & as you say that could be what's causing the bone pain. Hopefully you'll get your bone scan soon too which may also pick up some deficienices. I went & got allergy tested on Saturday...

Hi Claire, I'm Kate & also from the UK & was diagnosed by biopsy on Tuesday, so also really new to this. I totally agree with you re the lack of advice from doctors etc - thank goodness for the internet & especially this board or I'd still inadvertently be eating gluten every day! I actually went gluten free 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I had...

Hello everyone, I seem to spend all my time on here. A huge thanks to everyone who has replied to my posts over the past week......... I got my biopsy results today & they came back positive for celiac, so thanks to everyone on here I am at least one week ahead of the game on my gluten-free regime. Just a quick question. Felt much better Sunday...
