    Yeah on the occasion when i accidently ate gluten i had a blazing hot face and body.I am always hot but then again i do have a faulty body thermostat due to hypothyroidism you should have a test with your GP

    I am actually amazed at the ammount of people who say to me ''oh i cant tolerate bread either'' it just goes to show how many people are affected even in a slight way by gluten

    Thanks guy's i appreciate your replies

    Thanks Rudi,i have to admit i share your wife's fear of gluten containing foods.I cant bear the smell of bread and the smell of cooking pasta either,maybe its a defence mechanism to keep me safe.Nothing tastes as good as i feel since ive stopped eating gluten (6 weeks ago) so i dont feel like i am missing out on anything.I do find it comforting though that...

    After nagative endomysil blood tests and negative gastroscopy results the doctor has diagnosed me as gluten intolerant.She advised me that like ceoliac patients i should avoid gluten like the plague.She admited that test results are not always accurate and said that if i wanted to repeat the test i would have to reintroduce gluten into my diet for the next...

    Ive done 3 one positive and 2 negative.....i'm equally as baffled.my endomyosil test was negative.Im still waiting for my Gatroscopy results but gluten free is having a massive impact on me,i feel a tonne better in just 10 days.

    Hmm,i feel too well to risk making myself ill again....i dont know what to do I dont know if i really do need a dignosis,i'm convinced i have DH so thats prob good enough and besides that,if i dont eat anymore gluten it wont be a problem in the future.I have noticed however that i seem to get upset and a washing-machine type tummy now when i have milk or...

    I have vast improvement in my symptoms already,the stomach pain has eased and the bloating is starting to go down.I have'nt got the results of my gut biopsy back yet but i was feeling so poorly that i thought i'd go gluten free for 7 days to see if i felt any better and i'm glad i did.There is just one thing thats bothering me though,i think ive had DH since...

    Hi i am Hyopthyroid,i have been on levothyroxine for 6 years....sadly for me it looks like i have been a silent ceoliac since my teens (am 39 now)the road to recovery is generally slow for thyroid patients.I suffered all mannor of symptoms beore diagnosis of thyroid and i'm sure if my ceoliac was diagnosed all those years ago i wouldnt have sufferd at all...

    I felt a kind of tugging sensation and it felt tender immdiatley they took it,i think i must have had very little saliva that day cause the whole procedure seemed to be dry and tuggy in my pipes (for want of a better description ) the area of the biopsies felt a little tender for days after.I am still uncomfortabe today actually and its four days ago now...
  15. Twiggy
    I had my Endoscopy yesterday,i have a sore throat today but i also have a dicky tummy.Yesterday i felt like i'd been booted in the belly by a horse it was really sore and bloated.I felt them taking the biopsy it was a strange sensation they took 5 in total..no wonder it feels sore.The doc said that i may have a sore throat for couple of days.its going to...

    My feet get unbelievably sore...nothing to see..just really tender.It feel likes the foots padding has worn away and im walking on bare bone.Also my toes and feet tingle like they coming round fron anathetic...like how your mouth feels after dental numbing...nerves are numbed.Ankle and achillies tendons are so stiff when i wake/have sat for a while that i...

    I get nasal problems too.I have a keane (split/tear in the skin) on my nostril and a sore inside of my nose and it drips constantly,it will be interesting to see if this goes away when i become gluten free...hmm?
  18. Twiggy
    Yes,answers would be great.I'd love to focous on something other than what my bowels are doing......lol
  19. Twiggy
    Stool symptoms....are these symptoms familiar to anyone? I swing from passing partially digested food,thats easily identifiable to what went in a few hours before to hard dark tar smelling 'pebbles' bound together by a gluey stretchy mucous that can be any colour you like (mostly light cream or fawn).can anyone else relate to these bowel habbits? i still...

I'm gluten free today and tomorrow cause i'm going away at the weekend and dont want to be ill/itchy or bloated.My lovely man i making me my first gluten free pizza for tonight's dinner,he...

    Thanks for your reply Sam the reason i dont want to stop eating gluten before ive seen the gastro guy's is because every article ive read tells you not to as its important in order to not to get a false negative.I just want to do everyting by the book so that i can get well quicker and not have the teests hampered in any way.I have suffered this long and...

    Thanks folks!! I suppose i wil just have to 'wait it out' and hope the result will come in the end.i am a little ashamed to admit that at the tender age of 39 (tomorrow )i have still not learned the art of patience. Thanks for all your helpful input into this thread i really find it helpful to hear others opinions.x.x.x to you all

    Hi everyone just back from my GP appointment.Endomysial Antibody blood test was negative,doc is refering me to a gastroenteroligist,i have an appt for 2 weeks time.The doc hinks i have the desease as i present with all the classic symptoms but wants me to have a Gut Biopsy to confirm.He seems to think that whatever the result i should refrain from gluten...

  25. Twiggy
