My doctor told me I would be 70% more likely to get bowel cancer if I did not strictly adhere to a gluten free diet. Better safe than sorry IMHO

I've been gluten-free for over a year and am mostly symptom free, but have been having a problem with burping for a few months. I am definitely not ingesting any gluten, I am obsessively careful and nothing has really changed in my diet. Any ideas about what could be causing it or how to fix it?

Hi Mike, I only take liquid vitamins, taking the regular tablets is pointless for me because I just don't absorb them. How long have you been gluten free? I remained the same weight for the first six months or so, but then gained about 7kg (a lot for someone who is 5ft1) over the next six months. I have been gluten-free for about a year and a half and am...

I'm one of those people who has never deliberately cheated with the diet, the only reason for this is that honestly every time I see regular bread or pizza or anything containing gluten, I immediately picture diarrhea, stomach pain etc. I know it sounds kind of twisted, but I think what might help you stick to the diet is to sort of train your brain to find...

Has anyone else found that anxiety has actually gotten worse since going gluten-free? I have always had a mild anxiety problem, perhaps the stress of going being diagnosed and the difficulties in going gluten-free have made me stresses, paranoid about food and exacerbated the anxiety? FYI re St Johns Wart - it reacts to a lot of different medications, so...

Hmmm I seem to have a similar problem. Let me know what you find out!

I was at the supermarket and I found a new gluten free snack, which was so exciting. I bought a pack and quickly chomped down half before realizing the label on the front said 'guilt free' which I had mistaken for 'gluten free' mostly because they were sitting amongst all the other gluten free snacks in the health food section in the supermarket...they were...

I was a vegetarian for many years before I went gluten free. After being gluten free and vegetarian for a while I decided to start eating meat again because I felt like my diet was too limited. However, there are a lot a meals that you can do that are both vegan and gluten free. Vegetable curries are yummy and versatile, you can add cannellini beans to salads...

I'm so glad someone posted this! I thought maybe it had something to do with getting older, or maybe I had developed another intollerance. I am a very petite woman and used to be able to hold my drink like a man, I could just keep drinking and drinking and never really feel it let alone get sick from it. But since going gluten-free I find that 1 glass of...

Can you see my avatar? Its a cartoon I drew of a dream I had about gluten, essentially I am being chased down a dark alley by giant animated donuts, hot dogs etc with limbs and fangs...lol! This is only one of the many crazy gluten related dreams I have had. Others include dreaming about eating bread and waking up yelling 'Nooooo! Don't eat that!', and dreaming...

Thanks for the product suggestion burdee but I'm in Australia and we don't get 'Bob Red Mill' cereal here. Also I tend to react to oats (even the gluten free ones), but I will definitely give the rice bran a try

I agree with just being nice and polite about it. In my experience catering companies are usually well aware of most dietary requirements. They usually have a standard meal for each specific diet eg. if you are vegetarian they will give you pasta, if you are gluten intolerant they will usually give you a steak and vegies. But if you are vegetarian and have...

Unfortunately there are a lot of things that can make you sick after you eat. Not being fully healed since going gluten free is a pretty common cause, you could also look at eliminating dairy and getting tested for parasites. I had to eliminate everything in my signature before I stopped feeling sick after every meal. Good luck.

I make sure I always eat before I go out, or carry a gluten free snack in my bag. But when I'm at some sort of social event and gluten filled good is being passed around, tempting me with its deliciousness, I try to focus on how horribly sick I would get if I ate any of it...gets rid of the appetite pretty quickly.

I've been making my own gluten-free muffins with a plain mix I buy from the market. I add strawberries and banana to the mix already but am wanting to add some fiber somehow but I'm allergic to most seeds. Anybody have any non seed suggestions? PS: Sorry if this has been asked already!
