    I went for a night out last night. All i drank was vodka and lemonade and vodka and diet coke. I also drank alot of water when out. My question is when out in an evening how easy is it to get glutened from glasses which have not been washed and rinsed correctly in bars. The potential of cross-contamination must be pretty strong. Is there also anythig...

    I have been on gluten all week for the biopsy yesturday. So yesturday and today i have not eaten anything with gluten in to try and get back on the diet. During the week i have been fine other than my sore stomach. Today my head has all of a sudden gone fuzzy with a headache. Could this be due to withdrawal from gluten or had i accidently had some gluten...

    Thanks for the reply so soon, i have had a look at the website and the photos in the middle of the page looked exactly like the one they showed me. I know i need to wait for the biopsy to be officially diagnosed but just for piece of mind wanted to know if these folds come back. This is not the same as villi flattening is it (i presume villi are only seen...

    Hi everyone, well an hour ago i had a endoscopy and a biopsy taken of the Duodenum. When the tests were completed the nurse came and gave me my results of things they saw. She said my stomach was fine but when looking down the Duodenum she said it was flat, i had a look at the photo and the could see folds further down the photo but not in the beginning of...

    2 weeks ago i started on the gluten free diet. The only problem i was having then was constant stomach bloatness with a dull pain, and sometimes a numish side of my face. 2 days ago i have been starting to feel very strange in my head and hands. I feel very empty and almost as if i have the shakes on the inside. I keep looking at my hands to check to see...

    Looking back over the last few years I have had back pain ranging from severe to mild. I used to be a regular weight lifter and have always put the back problems down to that. Is it possible that the problems have come from having celiac disease and not know it. I understand that there could be a problem with being calcium defficient and really want to...

    Jerseyangel did you ever feel like you were about to have a stroke with the numb face. This seems to be a big worry with me.

    Hi everyone, today i went to see a dietician. Unfortunately she told me not to go on a gluten free diet till i have my biopsy taken. I gave blood last week and the results have not come back yet. The dietician is chasing up the resluts for me and arranging a biopsy date. In the meantime i have been told to eat gluten to make sure the results are correct....

    I havent eaten nuts since being diagnosed with diverticular disease but im sure smooth peanut butter will be ok. I take it peanut butter is gluten free, i have stayed away from butter and margarine as not got round to looking it up.....

    Just an update, after waking up with the blood blister in my mouth it has completely disappeared the following morning. The only thing i did different that day was get a large intake of vitamins in the form of a smoothie and later the same day some Vitamin B complex, calcium and zinc. I wonder if the intake of vitamins helped?

    gfp thanks for the post, please can you elaborate on number 3 where you say the repair process is bad for you, some will always be just repaired? What i dont understand is if i have been eating gluten for 28 years and only 7 months ago did i start getting a sore stomach (and other symptoms)could that mean that i have only just become gluten intolerant...

    Hi everyone, can anyone suggest some sources of "good fat" foods. I dont know if that makes sense but i need to gain more weight. perhaps something to snack on between meals as well other than gluten free biscuits. I am trying to cut out sugar for candida purposes. I am unable to eat nuts as I have diverticular disease of the bowel which are small pockets...

    I have read about the damage that gluten does to the villi. I understand that the gluten over time will flatten the villi but this can be prevented by going on a gluten free diet. My question are.... 1/ Are the villi found in the full length of the intestines? 2/ Where else are these villi found (ie; after the stomach) 3/ Is it possible to damage...

    i use colgate toothpaste and have noticed a couple of posts refering to avoiding certain types. I suppose the question is, how do i know if it has gluten in if it doesnt state anything on the packaging? Do things with gluten in have to state that they have gluten in them?

    Hi everyone, I am on a gluten free diet for the past 4 days. I am 110% sure that i have not had any gluten. However the last 3 days have been a nightmare. I constantly feel like im drunk, slow reactions and dizzy spells. Is this what evertone refers to as "brain fog". I dont feel sick or anything just tired and cant concentrate. The thing i cant...

    Well gfp you really do know your stuff... I usually drink rooibos tea but accasionally have peppermint. At the moment i dont drink alcohol or milk so relatevely lactose free. I cook all my meals which is a bit time consuming but sure it will be worth it. I will give booths a try, tried Sainsburies and tesco yesturday and Sainsburies did have a better...

    Hi RiceGuy, Thanks for the post, do u think it may be related to being vitamin deficient. I am going through the early stages of the gluten free diet and feel really run down. Did you get these whilst eating gluten? The only thing i can say i have eaten that you suggest is last night i had spinach, potatoes, cabbage and broccili chicken and rice. mind...

    does anyone know of tips or ideas that may help me with the healing process? (other than the obvious gluten free diet). Are there any herbal things to consider. I am a keen herbal tea drinker and would love it if i could find a tea or other to help.

    Nikki In uk is it possible to get a vitamin booster injection from your doctors. I am worried that i am not absorbing any vitamins and my facial numbness is getting me a little worried. Its 7 weeks till i get my blood test but fear i may be causing some permanent damage. I do take vitamins but i am still very weak and head feels so heavy.

    Today I have woken up with a lovely mouth blood blister (1/4") that has appeared over night. I have never had one of these so has just made me wonder if its another one of those hundereds of symptoms of celiac disease. Any ideas anyone? Jason
