    I never trust the chain cafes. The only thing I have from there are the bottled drinks from other brands or americano. By the looks of things, although the certain food & drinks do not contain gluten, they can ever so easily be cross contaminated by the looks of things. Plus the ingredients are basically powders and chemicals of artificial kinds...

    Isn't it also when the symptoms start that makes the difference? In my understanding, celiac disease is more of an allergy therefore the body would react as soon as it has entered the mouth, infact just any contact via skin or whatever will trigger the symptoms. Intolerance is when your body reacts when digested, so safely passing through the mouth...

    Maybe those flavoured or 'special' water either the ingredients themselves contain gluten or it could be unintended / unavoidable cross contamination in the factory. Or the water could have been messed with. Otherwise I am pretty sure water does not contain gluten.

    Buying pre-made stuff are more expensive in the long term than cooking from the scratch. Yup, ready to eat gluten free stuff or in fact any alternative foods are ridiculously expensive for students to afford. I buy fresh products from the supermarket and cook them up differently for every meal. It is safer, more flexible and money saving. I tend...

    Lactose Intolerant. *Milk, yogurt and cream. Well, I have been with this sensitivity for many years now and it is easier than gluten! There are many LACTOSE FREE products available on the market. I live in the UK and there is a LACTO TREE milk -semi skim & whole available. It is found in most of supermarket's shelves and they are trust worthy...

    Yes, I agree with you on that.. The specially made 'Gluten Free' products are always 'Gluten Reduced' It seems that we are highly dependent on gluten after all. FACT, it is inavoidable. UK Free From products are not that reliable. Whether they are imports or made in UK, they all contain some moderate amount.. Now, if miss gluten containing...

    HI! I need YOUR opinion and it will make ALL the difference so if you may, please take at least a minute to read through what I have to say and leave a feedback. Thank you ever so much, it means a WORLD to me. I am a Graphic design student working on a project themed around Gluten Intolerance. The aim is 'To improve the social aspects of their lives...

    I HEART THEM. They are also a.k.a yam cake / noodle! I have them almost everyday!!!!! They are GREAT substitutes for the stuff I need to avoid like my intolerance to rice and gluten meant no noodle or pasta for me but now with these +_+ THEY ARE MY LIFE SAVER! How do I eat them? I usually buy the yam cake more than the noodle. Just cut up few...

    Most if not all Asian rice papers are gluten free. Normally just rice and some other insignificant subs. They can be found in Asian stores. Rice papers are commonly used in Thai or around that section or Chinese or Japanese will do. Hope it helps and good luck. Oh, they come in varying sizes usually. Big (bigger than the average' woman's hand...

    How about substituting to *FRUITS- They taste much nicer and cos of the water contents, they seem to give a better sense of fulfillment. *Green tea- they are not of sweet nature but this tends to fill your tummy up and it has a nature to relax your mind. *Dried fruits- just as sweet but with better nutrients. Don't go for fried or coated ones though...

    So Gluten Intolerant sufferers craving for gluten / sugar/ carb is quite a common thing? I am aware of craving the offender foods but sugar thing, I thought it is just me. A bit like you, I have lately became a sweet fanatic. Despite never having a thing for chocolates all my life. The only occsasions I would have them were through receiving them...

    Hi, I have a number of food allergies and intolerances but gluten & grains (rice*) seem to be the worst off for me judging from my reactions and available food. Gluten I heard takes around 80% of our dish and the alternative to that or in Asia the main source of meal is rice. So... you can guess what my problem would be. My symptoms have worsened...

    Hi, I have several food allergies and intolerances but the worst off seems to be my reaction to gluten and grains. My symptoms have become severe since last year so I have been on a reasonably strict gluten free diet and completely avoided snacks and as replacement had fresh or dried fruits instead. This majorly improved my health. For the first time in...

    Try YAM NOODLES or CAKES. They are normally found in Japanese food sections. Usually in a transparent plastic bag like container with liquid inside. They look like jellies. Yam cake is brown and noodles are white, the ones I have access to are anyway. They need to be boiled but not for long so pretty much hassle free. In fact it is a pretty much 'Free...

    Hi everyone, hope your gluten free diet is going well today. Mine has been on the rocks lately whether through fault of my own or some what unavoidable situations. After some thorough research, I realised that it is rather common for FOOD INTOLERANT sufferers to crave for the offending foods despite knowing the consequences. Plus the denial issue seems...

    As far as I am concerned no, it is not a direct cause for obesity. Like mentioned above, it does cause bloating etc and malabsorption of other nutrients. Although I can see how it can make you gain weight. I often find myself crazily craving for gluten products one because I used to love them and eat them on regular basis before symptoms became too severe...

    I actually understand what you are going through. I am severely GLUTEN INTOLERANT along with other food intolerances and allergies but GLUTEN is the worst in terms of missing out of life issue and symptoms. Somehow soon after being diagnosed as WHEAT INTOLERANT I managed to stay off it for quite a while although I did consume some every now and then since...
  19. Gobbie
    You and I seem to be going through s very similar situation. Perhaps this parents in denial issue after all is a common thing with Food Intolerances perhaps especially with gluten involved since it generally tastes 'nice' and is found almost everywhere. You just have to say NO I think. One can try to 'prove' by giving evidences via actions or whatever...

    Thank you all really for support and replies.. Reading through them actually brought tears to my eyes. This lone battle is only getting tougher with lack of family support. I am so gland that I have discovered this forum and the fact that 'strangers' but fellow sufferers are more understanding and supportive. I am old enough to live an independant...

    Hi, I am Gluten intolerant along with several other food allergies & intolerances which have been with me most of my life. The thing with gluten is that its symptoms only became noticebly irritating in recent years and worsened to be described as 'severe' in recent months. My family who does not have as many food sensitivities as me are in denial about...

    Hmmm, GLUTEN MARSHMELLOW? I didn't realise they have gluten in them. I thought they are pretty much gluten free! That's why I've been thinking of indulging on them today lol. Most sweets are gluten free. Like Haribo jellies according to their labels are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Jelly beans are the same!! One of the main reasons' I've...

    Hi, I used to indulge on Asian food as well until my intolerances became rather severe though my family who aren't food sensitive still enjoy those foods. Chinese food often are mixture of everything, that is why Chinese brands are hard to trust and one of the reasons I completely avoid any food from there. Korean foods including sauces, despite looking pretty...

    OH MY GOD!!!! I am SO GLAD to have found this forum! I have been miserable for such a long time cos I thought that perhaps having too many food sensitivities are purely my psychological issues but knowing that there are others like me... I'm so assured. Here are the lists of food sensitivities I had for if not all, long periods of my life with noticeable...
