A friend of mine won't accept the fact that I cannot have gluten. He keeps saying you I should book a week off work and then eat a giant pizza as a treat. Although I'm not stupid enough to try it what exactly would happen to me, bear in mind I have had no gluten for two weeks. I really want to shut him up.

Well a typical day would go as follows: BREAKFAST: 1 Orange 1 Pint of Water LUNCH: Egg Fried Rice (It specifically says Gluten free on the packet) 1 Packet of Walkers Ready Salted Crisps (Potato Chips in the US ) 1 Bag of Grapes 1 Yoghurt 1 Probiotic Drink 1 Gluten Free Naan Bread Water DINNER: Steak Potatoes...

Hiya, I have been gluten-free ( or so I think ) for about three months now. I follow a very strict diet. About a month in I was feeling much better but now not so great. I'm still getting pins and needles, severe twitches, bad skin and sometimes fatigue. Not to mention the uncomfortable stomach from time to time. Also I become paranoid over the most...

Hi Radgirl, When I first started noticing my symptoms I put on a lot of weight. Went from 12.5 stone to 14st in a couple of months. Since starting the diet (2 months ago) I'm back down to 13st, which is where I want to be, but I'm trying to eat as much substitutes for fibre as I can so that I don't lose anymore. People have different levels/rates of...

Sorry to hear your feeling so low radgirl. At the end of the day it's just food. Try and concentrate on the things that really matter in life, i.e. family, friends and being happy. That's the only thing that gets me through this diet. Stay positive

Open Original Shared Link Hi guys. This website was featured in a national paper over here a few days ago. It claims to be able to test for coeliac at home but I'm not sure how reliable it is. For

If it wasn't for heavily drinking alcohol I'm not sure as to whether I would have ever found out about my intolerance to gluten. Back at Uni(or College as you guys across the pond say ) I used to drink about four nights a week, and I mean heavy binge drinking. I soon found that different types of alcohol gave me a different type of hangover. If I drank...

Thanks for all your responses. We don't really get much info regarding foods containing gluten in plublic restaurants here in the UK. So looks like I'll have to keep avoiding McDonald's, I'd rather not have it than get ill, i've come to learn that it's really not worth the pain. Hehe, thanks. For some reason most American's like it except they...

Hiya, I'm new, but have been lurking around for a while. What I would like to know is what exactly is gluten-free on the McDonald's menu? Since starting the diet I've avoided everything apart from Coke, and McFlurry's, so in effect making my visit to the place rather pointless. I've read up on French Fries causing concern as to whether they are...

Hi I'm new! I've recently read that only some Vodka's are safe (potato based) so it could be from that. I have the same problem as you whattodo, went out on Friday and only drank Vodka and Coke but the past three days I've been in complete agony with my stomach and on the Saturday I had very bad brain fog and nerves Gonna try Cognac next time...
