I'm normally a hungry person anyway, but after I've been hit, especially if it happens a couple of times in a short space of time, when most of the symptoms have gone I get really excessively hungry (I was up until 2am this morning eating because I couldn't sleep I was so hungry) I just feel like I can't fill up, whatever I eat I am never full or satisfied...

Thanks, I think non pre-prepared food is the way to go, I just need to get organised and not expect to be able to grab something to eat in 2 minutes (like I used to as I ran out the door with a pb sandwich), I do have a kitchen so I just need to get my act together with cooking. I'll keep an eye open for the sales too, that's a really good idea, take advantage...

I'm at uni and on a really tight budget, I'm legume intolerant as well as gluten-free so I can't make cheap meals with beans like I used to do (mum thinks that may have been the problem - I ate them aaall the time). Any tips on how to eat as cheaply as possible? Thanks

Probably only a question for UK people as I don't know if you can get them in the US, but does anyone know if Galaxy minstrels chocolates are gluten free? Thanks

Hi, As well as being gluten-free, I am also legume intollerant and can't eat beans/chickpeas etc, for anyone else in this position can you tolerate tofu? because it's made from soy beans. I know the only way to really find out is to try it... but anyone else's experience would be great because a reaction isn't that appealing! Thanks

Does anyone have a (relatively) quick and easy recipe for gluten free gnocchi?

I am legume intollerant too but I love my chilli, I make it with beef mince, tinned tomatoes, chilli powder, a bit of paprika and cayenne, then instead of the beans I add chopped mushroom and/or courgette and/or aubergine and/or pepper and almost always throw in a tin of sweetcorn, then I serve it over rice or a jacket potato. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm now...

What are twice baked potatoes?

I take packed lunches most days so it's mostly cold stuff I can take in a box: I have rice salad a lot, normally brown rice (cold-I cook extra the night before) with a tin of tuna or sardines, some cashew nuts and peas and sweetcorn. Or buckwheat with chopped up gluten-free sausage and peas. Quinoa cooked in veggie broth with cold salmon and a tomato (or...

What do you normally snack on during the day? I have gluten free rolls which I have with peanut butter a lot because it's quick, but they're so expensive and I'm a poor student, I need to come up with some cheaper alternatives but that are still really quick. Any ideas? Thanks

What personal care products might contain gluten? what ingredients should I look out for in shampoo etc?

I've been having a lot of flare ups lately, and the only thing I can think to put it down to is cross contamination. I cook all my own meals so they are all gluten-free, but I live in a student house with five other people so the kitchen certainly isn't. Can gluten still be 'present' in eg saucepans or seives after they've been washed up? Do I need to...

I get hit immediately - almost before I've finished eating I know it wasn't good (at least I find it easy to identify what caused it). My stomach is dreadful the rest of the day - can barely eat anything until the next day just maybe some raw veg and a bit of meat in the evening if it happened in the morning. The next day I normally feel a lot better but...

Thanks, I don't feel I need the official 'label', I'm happy eating gluten-free knowing that I feel good - I get an immediate reaction (almost before I've finished eating a meal containing wheat) so that's enough incentive not to do it. Yes, my Grandfather goes gluten-free until he feels better then goes back on it, then off, then on... He's in his 80's...

Hi, I don't really know if this is the right place to come but I really need some advice. For a few months I was having real problems with bloating and constipation, my Grandfather has an intermittent wheat/gluten problem so my Mum suggested I try going without wheat for a bit, I did and my symptoms cleared up very quickly, I have been wheat free (and gluten...
