    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Hi; yeah, their wheat free bread is actually rye bread. The amount of people who don't realise that wheat free doesn't necessarily mean gluten free is rather large - it doesn't surprise me that the people at pret don't know. They're so clueless in pret! I did notice that their label looks a lot like the cross grain symbol - obviously they didn't do their...

    Sorry to hear about your wheat allergy Tazzie, but congratuations that you have an official diagnosis of what is wrong with you so you can stop it happening! I personally haven't had the tingling, but I can agree with you that it is common to read about that kind of thing on here. Seems perfectly normal to me. It might be too soon to tell, but does...

    You're absolutely not alone. It was so difficult at first, and all I wanted was a big pizza! I was moody, depressed, happy, and sleepy all at once. However, it's been nearly a year for me now, and everything is fine. Except when I get absolutely glutened, all of the mood swings are virtually gone .

    Hello, I was recently sent a list of gluten-free foods available at Pret-a-Manger, and I thought I'd post it on here as it may be useful to some of you. Especially concerning the soups, as whenever I ask, I just get stared at blankly! They are now doing a wheat-free sandwich, unfortunately it's not gluten-free, but it's a step in the right direction...

    I expect they sell it at the Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street. Well worth a visit anyway as they have tonnes of gluten-free foods - even fresh bread!

    Hello. Turns out it isn't the syrup, it's the sugar topping! Plus the eggnog mix has gluten .
  8. HannahHannah
    Right from the horses mouth: I'm so sad about the eggnog latte! "Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company regarding gluten-free products. None of our beverages, with the exception of our Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino, are made with ingredients that contain gluten. However, the vanilla sprinkles provided at the condiment bar for customer...

    One more thing to add to this topic. I got sick, so I called the customer care line. ALL of the Christmas drinks have gluten (egg nog latte, gingerbread latte, creme brulee latte). It was my own stupid fault for not checking and assuming the gingerbread latte is ok because the rest of their syrups are fine....!

    Hello. No, I know it's nowhere near Christmas! Though our (sometimes) gluten-free friends at Starbucks seem to think it is and have started selling their Christmas drinks. I wanted to warn you all to not get too excited.... Stupid me didn't bother asking about the Gingerbread Latte as all of the other syrups are fine. I got sick . I called...

    Something else for you to add to your calls...!! In the UK, Starbucks already sell gluten free Belgian Chocolate Cake (as well as gluten free sandwiches, though they usually sell out within an hour of opening!) It's a lot like the brownies and every time I have seen it being served, the staff are using either a paper bag, or clean tongs. They're getting...

    Hi Kerry. I've been gluten free since February this year, and yes, gluten is in EVERYTHING!!! (well, everything good anyway!). First of all, congratulations of the weight loss; even if you don't see it as visible, it's an amazing start and a fantastic achievement in such a short period of time . I'm not going to lie, going gluten-free is so hard...

    Regarding the malt powder and chips: At Starbucks they will only put the frappucino blenders in the dishwasher at the end of the day, so everything is just rinsed with hot water throughout the day. So if they currently have malt or chip frappucinos on the menu, I guess there are no guarantees. You could ask them to run a blender pot through the dishwasher...

    Hi everyone, I thought I would share some information I got from Starbucks about gluten in their products as I have been searching around and couldn't find anything. I thought I could offer some info to anyone looking! I was worries about the gluten content of their drinks as: - The mocha syrup (in mochas, hot chocolates, chocolate frappucinos...

    I love this forum :)!! It's so good to have people who know what we're all going through, and aren't embarrassed to talk about the more unsavoury symptoms of being glutened! Dairy is a problem for me also - nowhere near as much as gluten, e.g. I don't get pain when I eat dairy. I decided to test it out one day and drink a load of milk (about 2 pints...

    Absolutely! I've been gluten-free since the beginning of February now (has it really been 6 months?!). I'm still craving sweet things, though it has calmed down. In the first month or so I completely lost my appetite, but then the cravings began! Not for bread or the usual things I expected, but for sugar sugar sugar! Chocolate mostly, and Skittles! ...

    I've now managed to feel normal for 5 (count them!) 5 days! No awful abdominal pain at all (which is one of my major symptoms). This is unprecedented for me!!! ...though I am rather sick of eating salad.....!!!
  18. HannahHannah
    Hi everyone, I thought I would share my good mood with you all and maybe offer hope to those of you who are just beginning their gluten-free lives to show that it does get better! I've been gluten-free since the beginning of February this year (so that's 3 and a bit months with no cake...!), and I can honestly say for the first time in a long time...

    Remember guys, there *is* such a thing as 'non-coeliac gluten intolerance' - google it!

    Open Original Shared Link Found on the front page of the BBC news website health pages - made me smile . Well, the fact that the article was there made me smile, rather than the content of the article itself! It can only be a good thing if more people are going to their doctor and asking about Coeliac .

    Does anyone else have major sugar/sweet things/chocolate cravings allof the time?! For the most part I don't give into them, but I just constantly crave sugar! I try to eat fruit and seeds instead, but they don't quite scratch that itch!
  22. HannahHannah
    Hi Jason, You're not alone! When I first became gluten-free, I completely had all of the symptoms you described. I even went back to my doctor to ask if it was normal. It could be that you are being glutened without knowing, but it could simply be your body getting used to things. Remember, even though gluten is evil to us folk, your body is used...

    Thanks for your help everyone . I shall have a look at the batch number on my box of Mesa Sunrise when I'm back at my office tomorrow. It's such a shame that something like that can happen.... !!
  24. HannahHannah
    Thanks for all of your help . Still feeling weird, but the worst is over - hurrah! Hmm - I can't work out what it was - one of those things I guess. I never have salad dressing, and I don't think soya is a problem. Ho hum! I promise I won't post on here every time I get glutened - I'm new!
  25. HannahHannah
    I need your help here guys! I've been scouring my memory trying to work out what is making me sick and was wondering if anyone had any insight into things. Had lunch at about 2pm. By 2:15pm was dizzy, extremely tired, and my stomach started cramping. Sounds like a glutening to me! (What are other people's immediate symptoms). Today I have eaten...
