    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...

    ARCHIVED Itching

    kasia posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    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

    ARCHIVED Nausea?

    kasia replied to Mike44's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    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...

    Hi Chris Just wanted to say that I'm thinking of you too & can really sympathise! My symptoms that I've had for only about 2 months are similar to yours especially the weight loss & diarrhoea (are you English BTW as your weight loss is in stones - I lost a stone so far?) I'm awaiting my biopsies, but I have a feeling they may come back negative...

    Hello everyone, Just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks for all your great replies & good wishes - if there was a flowers smilie I'd send you all a big bouquet! It's good to know that you don't feel better straight away - I do feel better but some days only marginally. However I'd not considered that the pain killers I take (backache - probably...

    Hi I'm Kate, I'm a 41 year old working mum from the UK, I've not been diagnosed yet but should get results in my biopsy on Tuesday. I've read this board avidly for the last week (haven't got the energy to do anything else!) & decided to go gluten free. The board is great BTW - much better than my GP! It's been 6 gluten free days now & for...

    Hi everyone Thank you for all your replies. After feeling like I was going to die this weekend (always was a drama queen), I started to eliminate gluten in my diet on Saturday, & now (on Tuesday) I feel remarkably better. I've had a solid stool for the 1st time in about 6 weeks & it was a normalish colour. The nausea is getting better &...

    Hi Paulina, Thank you so much for your reply - it really has made me feel a bit better (I am at the stage where I feel so had I've convinced myself that I have something very sinister!) The doctor did do biopsies which should be back when I see her in 2 weeks, but no-one has yet suggested any blood tests. Is the duoedenum part of the small intestine...

    Oops - sorry my son was messing with play dough & I messed up. Just wanted to say that have just read Chris E's post & his symptoms are quite like mine, so sorry for the duplidate & I hope you feel better soon Chris. Kate

    Hi there, this is my first post on the forum so hello to everyone. About 7 weeks ago, I had a stomach virus that cleared some days later (diarrhoea & sickness), but came back a week later with a vengance after I had eaten a great big plate of shellfish for my anniversary, so I put it down to my stomach still being sensitive. Since then however I...
