One of my biggest glutening symptoms is depression. I feel depressed/sad/blue/down in the dumps for 24-48 hours after being glutened. Its terrible but ive learnt the difference between gluten sadness and sadness in general. Aswell as depression I get bloating, stomach aches and cramps, constipation and headaches. Its not fun. :-( Im coping well...

I dont like drawing attention to my diet issues either. Because I havent been officially diagnosed, some family members think "oh, you're not really celiac, therefore it's all in your head"....I do have some very supportive family memebers aswell though, including my fiance. Anyway, at past dinners/events, I have chosen to eat before the event and just...

Thanks for all your suggestions! :-D You're right, I do need to cut out my gluten-free Pizza and gluten-free bread - that's too much carbs during the day. I'll switch to corn thins - I quite like those (rice thins I find really yuck, I always have). Im concious of how much sodium I consume. I thought Tuna and creamed corn on corn thins might be...

Please help guys, I need some ideas for healthy gluten free lunches. Healthy but filling....A salad for me is not filling! Im used to having cheese and tomato on gluten-free toast or left over gluten-free pizza but I need to lose weight! Im the heaviest ive ever been and for some wierd reason ive gained 10Kg in the last year!! Ive had lost of tests done...

Im trying to lose a bit of weight...well between 8 and 10kg actually and im just wondering which gluten free foods are low in carbs? I know I need to stay away from potatoes but are there any types of rice that are better than others? eg. I hear Basmati rice is lower in carbs than Jasmine rice.... What about gluten-free pasta? eg. Rice pasta - is that...

Its really nice to talk to someone who understands whole 'lump in the throat' thing. Its really hard to discribe but iften feels like someone or something is putting pressure on the front of my throat, just below my voice box. Its wierd and relly uncomfortable. It hasnt been as bad the last few days, its one of my symptoms that comes and goes. I have...

I get all those symptoms - perhaps not all at once but I do suffer from them expecially the dry skin, fatigue, constipation, depression, decreased libido and feeling cold all the time. I am always the coldest person in the room!! The only one of those I dont get is the irregular periods as I am on the pill and its controlled. Other symptoms I get though...

I have put on so much weight recently - every week I can feel myself getting bigger. I am now up to 75kg. I know that's not over weight or anything (as I am also 180cm tall) but its the biggest ive ever been - ive always been about 67kg! Anyway, im not sure why this is happening. Before I went gluten free I was really sick and lost quite a bit of weight...

Hmm, I havent been officially diagnosed with a lactose problem but I avoid dairy anyway...I do allow myself a little bit of cheese and some sour cream (but I always end up regretting eating it!). I only use Soy milk and have soy or lactose free yoghurt. The reason I avoid these foods is because they make me feel sick. I get terrible stomach cramps...

Hi, Im just wondering if anyone has or has had any problems with their thyroid? Im december 2007 I was diagnosed with an 'over-active thyroid' - Hyperthyroidism. I was re-tested in Feb 2008 and everything was pretty much normal... But Im wondering if I now have Hypothyroidism - Under-active thyroid? I have so many of the symtpoms: Including: Poor...

Ive never used Quinoa - I have seen it in the supermarket though. What kinds of things do you use it for and how do you cook it? I think im just going to have to be more organised...eg. Make a big pot of soup and a loaf of gluten-free bread on sunday and freeze it in portions for the week...I think i'll also start cooking more at dinner, so I can have...

I only eat brown rice. I stopped eating white rice about 6 months ago - Unless im cooking a risotto...white rice is better for that.... Hmm. Im afraid I'll just end up subsituing too much rice with too much of something else - like pasta.

I wasnt sure which section to put this in but I need some ideas for lunch! Im ok for breakfast, healthy snacks and dinner but not for lunch....I eat waaaay too much rice! I have rice everyday and i've been putting on SO much weight. Ive put on 5 kilograms in the last 4 months, which is HEAPS for me! Its starting to effect my self-esteem and my relationship...

Eating together is what we do - its the routine we're in. He comes round afterwork, we have dinner togehter, we watch a dvd/TV etc and we go to bed. That is our standard weekly routine. Of course its broken up by other things (eg. We have dinner with my parents once a week and once a week we dont have tea together - when I have my art class etc). Like i...

Thanks for all your help guys. My partner and I talked about this yesterday and he was really great last night - he suggested we make tacos, with lamb mince instead of beef. I really appreciated his effort. I know its not much but it means a lot to me to have his support. Ive invested in a few cookbooks - Ive ordered one that sounds really great...
