    Hi Jeanette, I haven't visited this site for a while! I've been trying to research my condition and experimenting with the paleo diet. I can't say that my new diet has cured my lipomas, they don't seem to have got too much worse than they were a couple of years ago. My coeliacs and all the other associated problems (headaches, feeling run down, joint aches...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    sorry to say that for me Soy (soya) was off limits and still is. I even had some in error a week or so back in a gluten free chocolate covered biscuit (I should have checked!). It certainly didn't agree with me! I'm having problems at the moment with potential other foods which is an on going process but for me. Anyway I find if something is ruled out of...

    going back to alcohol (story of my life!). I found that the only drinks I could really tolerate were cider and wine. Spirits just don't agree with me anyway, never have. However now I'm finding that Cider might be a problem, and I'm not sure if it's the yeast or something else. wine still seems to be okay. I'm finding that certain foods and drinks that have...

    Hi, I have a couple of visiable bacterial/fungal problems, and it has been suggested that I might have too much bad bacteria in my gut. In the end the doctor gave me antibiotics. Bad move! I still have the same problems, but now my tongue looks like a fur carpet! Everytime I swallow it's like I have a piece of sandpaper at the back of my throat. I'm off...

    I always get these 'FEVERS' and they have been so frequent and bothering me so much recently that I've been going to the Doctors for the last month. I basically loose all energy and just need to sleep. For 12-24 hours I have to go to bed with a hot water bottle and just sleep it off. The next few days I'm shattered and have ' regular' toilet visits! It...

    My problem is my toe nails. Daft things keep going brittle and falling off! The doctor sent some samples off for testing but they couldn't find any fungal infections. Another one to add to the 'don't know what's causing it' list!

    Hi, I have around 200 lipomas which have developed over the last 20 years or so. most are tiny and only I know they are there, but I have 5 or 6 that probably will need removing soon. I have had some removed, but most don't bother me. I'm convinced that these is a genetic link between my celiacs and my lipomas.

    Hi, I've been gluten free for about 18 months, and 15 of them have been great. The last 3 months have been awful! The doctor is fed up of seeing me and I think the diagnosis is soon going to be hypochondria! I now believe that Soya, cheese (possible dairy in general), some nuts, beans, coffee, alchohol not to mention others are causing me grief. The trouble...

    If in doubt, leave it out!

    Like the other replies that you have had, I'm no expert, and I'm only 1 month in to the gluten free lifestlye, but all i can say is hang in there. From my limited experience it seems that the recovery rate is completely random, as some people seem to pick up and feel better as soon as the gluten stops, and others take much longer. I guess it depends on...

    like you I'm new to this too. My condition sounds like yours. Within a couple of days of coming off the gluten I began to feel better (started about 4 weeks ago). I now have a better stomach, fewer trips to the toilet (!) no headaches, no lethargy, no broken sleep. The minute I slip up (twice so far), the symptoms come straight back. It's reassuring in a...

    Everyone in our house was having ice cream on Monday night, so I checked the box and thought "no obvious gluten ingredients" so I'll have a bit. And a bit more! We'll this led to a good bowl full, and it's now Wednesday lunch time and my guts have been like a washing machine for the last 36 hours! I've only been on a gluten free lifestyle for a month...

    I'm having problems understanding this cross-contamination thing. At home I make sure that I have different pans, knives, my own gravy etc to the rest of the family but I haven't been bothering too much if I actually have to butter a slice of bread for the kids, or pass someone a biscuit. Same with feeding the ducks. If I've handled bread, I just rub my...

    I agree with the last comments. I'm new to this, but have I felt better in the last three weeks being gluten free than I have felt for Years. You hear it time and time again, but you only realise how bad you actually were once you get rid of the gluten and start feeling better. I'm not knocking gluten/wheat/cereals etc as those people that can eat them...
