    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Like you, I am gluten free and vegan. Vegetarian by choice originally, but since becoming severely lactose intolerent and intolerent to eggs I'm now vegan! Here are some of the things I eat all the time: - Nuts. Full of protein, energy, vitamins and minerals. I love pecans, walnuts, almonds, cashews, brazils. I have peanut butter with ricecakes...

    I was very bloated, burpy, indigestion pains.... when they're really bad these can shoot in your chest and make you feel like your having a heart attack. I also had anxiety attacks and palpitations for years before going gluten free, partly because of the effect gluten had on my body but also because of the worrying and unanswered questions about what was...

    I still have that sour feeling in my stomach also, I guess it's where there is still inflammation. When I had my endoscopy they said the first part of my small intestine was very inflammed with nodulation and a small ulcer, I always get the sour knotty feeling about 30 mins to 1 hour after eating so I guess it's happening when it reaches all that sore stuff...

    Wow!... Nut cheese?!... Where can you get that?

    I like the way you said you feel 'crummy' ! It's quite an approprite way to describe it! I don't think anyone who has true celiac gets immediate relief upon going gluten free... the stuff takes a long time to work itself out of your system and your immune system needs to repair everything and start to let it's guard down. Maybe immediate relief is...

    I'm just coming into my third month and would pretty much echo all you've just said! Good days, bad days... sometimes good mornings and then terrible evenings (like today, for example!) Keeping a food diary has helped me stay focused, as has the help of my fantastic family. One very undesirable thing about the whole process is the paranoia...

    Have you considered the other methods of contraception like the contraceptive patch or injection? These methods would go directly into your skin and so there would be no chance that your gut would not absorb them. When I realised I had coeliac disease I was worried that my pill might contain gluten and as I couldn't get a reply from the manufacturers...

    Thanks for the sugestions, there are some great ideas there... Particularly the gluten-free website, what a fantastic woman that Karina is! I will be buying myself some coconut milk as that's something I've never used before... and I will investigate goat's cheese, I've had goat's milk before but found it tasted a little... farmyardy! Snacking...

    Anybody know if gene testing for coeliac disease is available in England? I'm guessing they don't do it on the NHS, at least I've never heard mention of it!

    Hi everyone! I've been gluten free for almost two months and feeling the difference. I'm intolerant to eggs unless they're used in baking etc (they give me horrible stomach ache) lactose intolerant to an extreme degree and vegetarian.... so vegan basically! I'm also cutting out soy for a little while just to see if it makes any overall difference and...

    Just noticed I'd forgotten constant mouth ulcers and runny nose on that huge list of symtoms! Thanks to everyone for the replies, it's really helpful to have the advice and perspective of others and I'm feeling a little bit clearer about the whole thing now. It's really interesting about the amount of time/gluten amount you need to shown damage...

    Feeling really frustrated, miserable and defeated as I just recieved the results of my endoscopy biposy today. On the day I had the endoscopy, the inital findings were gastritis (inflammation in the stomach), duodenitis (inflammation in the small intestine), 'nodulation' of the duodenum and a small erosion in the mucosa of the duodenum. I've waited...

    Well, I can only speak from my own experience... I've been gluten free for just over a month and have had a slight improvement in my GI symptoms but, like you, my DH has got progressively worse. I'm still waiting for the results of my endoscopy/biopsy (I've been waiting 5 weeks, the health system is painfully slow here in England!) but I have classic...

    Thanks Woolster, I've had a horrible cold for the last week so I think that confused things a little. I also got my mouth ulcers back for the first time since going gluten free, and my legs have been really achy but I guess if my immune system was busy fighting the cold then it's understandable. I've checked my shampoos etc and everything seems okay and...

    I'm in a very similar situation. Gluten free for almost 1 month. The constipation, which was one of my main issues, cleared up in the third week and I don't bloat up after eating like I used to. However, I still feel like my digestion is really sensitive! I can't eat on the move or when I'm busy/stressed as I'll feel really sick for a couple of hours...

    Hi Pam, Glad to know you are feeling better, how was it for you in the initial weeks, did it take a while before you felt better? I'm coming up to my third week now and feeling worse if anything! I have dermatitis herpetiformis too (my own diagnosis, but I'm 100% sure of it!) all over my arms and the backs of my legs. It's not cleared at all...

    Nice to see I'm not alone! It's really encouraging to speak to people with such similar experiences to mine, I'm not insane! Hurrah! lyonspam: I had a lot of stomach problems, constipation, constant fatigue and muscle ache during my pregnancy, but it's hard to know how much of it was normal pregnancy stuff and how much of it was because I was coeliac...

    Hi! I live in St Austell in Cornwall. Been having symptoms since the age of 17, I'm 23 now. FINALLY got a doctor to take me seriously when my symptoms worsened dramatically since having a baby. My daily symptoms include painful stomach cramps, nausea, bloating and gas, indigestion, very itchy rashes, constipation, heartburn, reflux, headaches, moodswings...
