    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Been diagnosed a couple of months now. I was diagnosed the day before I flew out to the USA and my g/friend was SO helpful while I was there, trying to find the right places to eat. While I was there, we ate really well, but now I am back in the UK, my diet has become very poor. I am trying to stop myself being sick, so I am resorting to eating...

    Hi everyone. I went to Tesco's last night and from their "free from" range I made an amazing discovery. "Genius" Gluten Free Bread. I cooked it tonight for the first time and I was left SPEECHLESS!!! It was amazing, beautiful and in my opinion, better than any normal bread I have ever eaten. It cut perfectly to form slices and toasted a dream...

    Popped into a Starbucks today whilst out with a mate... We were sad to see that they do not stock the gluten free Orange Valencia cake, BUT... they do stock gluten free Belgian Chocolate cake!!!!! I have not tried it as yet, but it looked delicious!!! So, us UK guys have not been left out by Starbucks!!!

    I have found this link which lists the inregients in a cigarette... Open Original Shared Link It mentions "glutamine" in the ingredients list and I have found conflicting reports to see if its linked. However, I have found this forum entry that makes for interesting reading..... The "gluten" in wheat, rye, barley, and in a much lower amount, oats...

    I am flying back to the USA with United Airlines next month, so not sure if they do a gluten-free option, but if BA are anything to go by, I would rather skip it and wait until I get to my destination!

    I am exactly the same. I cooked a meal yesterday, chicken in olive oil, mushrooms and cheese / potato slices ( that say they are gluten free ). I was SO careful not to gluten myself and I am 99.9% sure I didn't, however, I was really ill last night. I spoke with my girlfriend and we also thought that I could be lactose intolerant. I am so sick of this...

    Hi... I flew from Denver to London last week and was appauled by the gluten free meal on the flight with BA. I "think" it was chicken on a bed of spinach (!!). It was tasteless, bland and a poor attempt. However, the fruit was fresh and the staff on board were brilliant. I would rather go without when I return to the USA next month, I will...

    Oooo good point Nikki... I just meant regular fries!!

    The Pataks website is brilliant!! They stock huge amounts of gluten free curry sauces and you can also see which supermarkets in the UK stock which items as well... Thank you Susie for the advice!

    Apologies if this has been posted already, but I cannot find it anywhere!! My girlfriend has just found out some facts about the McDonalds food restaurants in the UK.. As we all know, in the USA the french fries are gluten based... but on the UK McDonald's website, they are not!!!! Open Original Shared Link Go through the drop down boxes and they...

    Thank you everyone... It is SO daunting, my partner will tell you just how hard it has been for both of us.. many many times I have felt like throwing in the towel and taking sickness over hunger. Had many a tearful day as well. It just seems so uphill all the time...... I know it will get easier, but at the moment, I don't see a light at the end...

    I have noticed that my heart rate has increased since changing my diet. I smoke and find my heart "thumps" when I smoke... Does anyone suffer any similiar symptoms?
  14. Storm
    Thank you ... I am just having NO motivation at all and prepping food etc is a challenge..... I think its denial, I am not ill at all, I am fine so why should I make the effort to prep special food.... then it hits home I am hoping it will get better, my partner has been a HUGE help but is not always around to help me, but she is fantastic at helping...

    I was diagnosed with Celiacs the day before I flew to the USA on holiday. While I was there, my friend, who has been AMAZING, helped me through the first 3 very very tough weeks. We had to experiment with food, some of which made me really ill and some of which was quite nice! Now I am back in the UK, I ventured out to go shopping for the first...

    ARCHIVED Little Bit

    Storm replied to Knoppie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have "accidentally" had a little bit without realising until afterwards, and have suffered had I consumed lots! No matter what amount I ingest, I get the same reaction D and sickness.. it's not worth the risk.
  17. Storm
    I am currently on holiday in the USA and my friend I am staying with suggested we eat at Hooters restaurant, in Aurora, Co. I was apprehensive as the menu mainly consisted of burgers, batter covered food and seasoned fries etc. We spoke to the waitress on arrival at our table, and we told her of the gluten free issues. She approached the chef, in view...

    In the past few months, I have been experiencing very sad but very vivid dreams. No violence at all, but dreams of loss which I have remembered very very well when I have woken the following morning. I used to recall certain dreams, but nothing like I have done in the past few months. I have been able to sit down and tell my partner all about them...

    We tried the Flax ones and they were awful. Both of us took 2 bites, looked at each other and threw them out!!!! They were very dry and crumbly even with toppings on.

    I got asked recently if it was by choice that I am gluten free and I was just following a trend with the rich & famous!! I also got told that "Gluten free is for wimps" .... but my reply was "No... not for wimps, I just don't enjoy spending an hour with my head down the toilet after I have eaten any gluten based meal" I have not had any other smart...

    We went back today and enjoyed the Valencia Cake, this time is was still in its wrapper and my friend noticed a HUGE difference in taste since our last visit as she had one that was unwrapped. As for the soy milk... I have a hot chocolate, no whipped cream, and made with soy milk and I actually think its lovely. I have certain intolerance's to soy but...
  22. Storm
    I think, as of today, I have discovered a soy intolerance. Been avoiding they obvious foods since being diagnosed with Celiacs, but am poorly again tonight. We had a gluten free satay (coconut and peanut) mix from Vitamin Cottage. Made sure it was safe etc with ingredients. Had that along with fresh grilled unseasoned chicken and plain white rice...

    My friend and I loved the cake so much, we are heading out to Starbucks again this morning for more!!!!

    I have been on a gluten-free diet for just over 2 weeks now. The sickness has definitely improved barring one event earlier this week and I was hoping to see my weight start to stablise as a result. Maybe I am impatient to see results! I just used the link you provided and apparently I am still overweight. According to that I need to lose another 30 lbs...
  25. Storm
    I have been overweight for some time now, my job does not help me maintain a decent diet, so the weight increased over the past couple of years. Then I suddenly started to lose it when I discovered a gluten intolerance and it got more and more severe as the recent months went on. I will openly admit that I wanted to lose weight, but would never have...
