    Hi I can definitely identify with you - before going gluten-free if I felt a pain in my abdomen it almost always meant I was about to experience some very bad pain in a couple of minutes, and needed to run to the bathroom. After going gluten-free it took me a while to adjust to the fact that a similar pain wouldn't cause the same problems. I also think that...

    Hi Sylvia Ann I am about to start a chemical elimination diet that requires I use products that are low in salicylates, amines, glutamate, preservatives and fragrance - not an easy ask! I have found the website Open Original Shared Link useful, specifically Open Original Shared Link - they have recommended products. I live in Australia so not sure if the...

    Hi beth Mine was fine. I was sedated but conscious, and all I can remember was them starting to put the tube in my mouth, nothing after that. I came to a while after they were done, with a slightly sore throat. A family member took me home, I napped that afternoon and was a bit out of it for the rest of the day. Felt fine the next day - the anticipation...

Find out your actual level as well, here in Australia the minimum level is set at 150, but I start feeling ill when I am below...

    Hi Jason I can totally understand where you are coming from. It can be really hard adjusting to the diet, and easy to make mistakes along the way. I also know how emotive it can be - I live in a house with 3 non-celiacs and it would make me furious when they didn't do the right thing in the kitchen. It got so bad that I would look at the kitchen covered...

    I returned positive bloodwork in 2007, but my biopsy was negative. My gastroenterologist told me not to bother going off gluten as there was no way it was causing my severe GI symptoms!! I believed him, so spent the next year of my life in severe pain and poor health due to malabsorption problems. I really wish that I had done a bit more research at the time...
