Hi all, I'm told that all Indian Restaurants are safe, except for the obvious things like Naan, Chapati, etc. Is this true? Our own local Indian here in Essex is very safe and I never have a problem. But, I'm travelling to London tomorrow to meet a friend from the US who's a curry fanatic, and am a little worried about eating in a different/new...

Are these conditions more pronounced in Coeliacs? Mike. -
Hi all, Does smoking and/or alcohol consumption retard the healing process? Mike.

ARCHIVED Weight Loss/gain
Mike44 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
On Dec 5 I was given my diagnosis of Coeliac Disease. On that day I was weighed by the doc at 10 st.2 pounds. Today I went for my Bone Density Scan and was weighed as 9 st. 11 pounds. I have been Gluten -free since Dec 5, my appetite is good, yet I have apparently lost 5 pounds in weight??? I kinda expected to have gained weight???!!! Anybody else have... -
ARCHIVED Christmas Dinner

What are the things to watch out for? A turkey bought directly from the butcher should be safe, right? Mike. -
Hi Yeah was at Waitrose today but the only bread they seem to sell is Dietary Special which to be honest tastes like cardboard. Mike.

Hi Nikki Thanks for your reply. I ate some rice crispies this morning and seem to be ok, so...... It is trial and error, as you say. Mike.

Hi all, Whats the story with Codex Wheat? Is it safe? Has anybody had any problems with it? Apparently, the best bread available in the UK is Juvella. BUT, it contains Codex Wheat, which I understand contains a little gluten. Also, Kelloggs Rice Crispies contains Codex Wheat. I haven't found a gluten-free breakfast cereal that I like the taste...

ARCHIVED Think I May Have Been Glutened..
Mike44 replied to Mike44's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks all. The chilli brand was Discovery - clearly labeled gluten free. Thanks Nikki, thats put my mind at rest regarding the dressing. Maybe the chilli was just too rich for my system right now, though I have used chilli powder pretty heavily in casseroles, etc. since going gluten free, without any problems. Thanks again, Mike. -
Stomach gurgling like nobody's business, diarrhoea, feeling generally unwell.... Had Chilli and salad last night. The chilli sauce was labelled Gluten free. Wholegrain rice. Fresh salad. Only thing I'm suspicious of is Kraft Light French Dressing. Reading the ingredients, I couldn't see anything harmful. But, now looking again -whats Carrageenan? And also...

Hi, Personally, I would have told her to go f*** herself, and either ordered my own salad, or bring my own food in that day. Sorry to be blunt about it, but, I would certainly not allow myself to appear like I'm asking for special treatment, or feel discriminated against because I have special dietary requirements!!! Its tough enough to stick to a restricted...

Hi everybody, Again I reiterate, I'm newly diagnosed. I just wondered - if one eliminates gluten from the diet, and then, inadvertently eats food containing gluten, is there an increased sensitivity to it? What are your thoughts? Mike.
-
Thanks everybody, I think I'll need to speak with my parish priest about the situation. Thanks again, Mike.

I am Catholic and receiving Holy Communion is important to me. I realise that the Communion wafer is generally not gluten-free. I contacted my parish priest who suggested I receive from the chalice only. However, I know that the wafer is broken into the wine in the chalice. Is it dangerous to sip wine from a chalice that contains a minute quantity of wafer...

Hi, I don't believe cross-contamination is a problem. I cook my own food, and make up my own lunch to take to work. I feel fine all morning, then, as the afternoon goes on I just feel more and more nauseous. Thats been my pattern for the most part, but I just figured that when I started eliminating gluten from my diet I would immediately feel better. Guess...

Hi all, Like I said I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease last tuesday so have been on the diet for 3 days. I still feel nauseous and was wondering when I should start to feel better? Mike.

Hi, Ok. But then its pretty hard to keep track of posts on here. Mike.

Hi Nikki, Thanks for the info. Mike. -
Thanks Andrea, How do I pin a post? This is different to any other forums I've been involved with. Mike.

Hi I've put up a new topic post 3 times and it just doesn't appear to be coming up on the forum???? Mike.

Is Wrigleys Extra Chewing Gum safe? Somebody today told me it may contain gluten??? Mike.
