    It's called an iceberg because no-one knows how many undiagnosed Celiacs there are. Celiacs is on the rise because as more people become aware of it, more people are getting themselves tested for it, because the symptoms of Celiac Disease hits a chord with them. 1% of over 308,000,000 people is still a lot of people (in the US alone). When I was...

    that sounds like a good subject for a new thread!

    That might be because Newbys feel overwhelmed by what's going on in their lives.... I wasn't daunted when DX 9 years ago just relieved that i had an answer for 38 years of ill health. i wasn't angry and cry why me, even now people still think I'm missing out but I never have because i would rather not go back to the poor wretched creature I was, and if all...

    I either just eat salad bring a gluten-free plate that everyone including myself can eat, or just bring my own to eat seperately. All i need to know first is wether i can eat somewhere or not. It's not a big deal and the people who usually have problems with it are the people either newly diagnosed where it seems overwhelming, or where it's their nature to...

    I don't recall anything like that but my nails go from bendy soft, to brittle hard where they split across the nail but never vertically. Do you ever get infections under your nails? I'm curious now, i know we are all individuals and everyone reacts differently but the more i read the more i find out that what I thought was normal, because I've had it all...

    For goodness sake, see, I've been diagnosed with celiac disease for getting on for 9 years now and strictly gluten-free as well I've only ever had 1 moon on my left thumb, just looked and it's still there all on it's own (ata boy) I've always had vertical ridges in my nails also, so yet another thing i thought was normal isn't.... Go figure...

    Groin pain, pulled muscle? where abouts in the groin? do you mean a lump..hernia? or is it a referred pain from somewhere else... could be anything .. can you be more specific? if it worsens or doesn't go away my best advice is go see a Dr...

    it could be, but what else are you snacking on? if you're sure it was at the Hotel let them now and they can review what they did and make sure it doesn't happen again, as a matter of course i won't eat anything where anyone is unsure of the ingredients, just to be on the safe side... good luck with tracking things down... alternatively you could have picked...

    I haven't but i have a friend who swears by them, she uses them to unblock her ears when they become plugged with wax. you lie down with head to one side popin the candle (it's hollow) light the end furthest away from your head and stay with the candle in you ear until it burns down, it's not fiercely burning quite innocuous to watch, but it's not recommended...

    I agree that with stubborn people who don't believe in such things as Celiac Disease and think the gluten-free is just the latest food fad going round, you won't be able to explain what you require. So eat before you go and take snacks with you to be on the safe side. That said i would be pretty peeved with my other half if he ever thought that my celiac...

    And I thought it was related to the beetroot plant shows you that I'm no baker, but I do learn something new every day in this forum.

    Sorry but first loaf second attempt can't help with your question, but I thought I'd give you a pat on the back for sticking with it.

    After almost 40 years of undiagnosed Celiac Disease and 9 years post diagnosis, i have never wanted to try eating Gluten again... why would I? Can't think of even one good reason, no not at all.

    Lols, on the unique scent.. me too smells like something has crawled inside me and died (falls off chair with laughter, my poor husband...) I have lots of different symptoms, including pain in various parts of my stomach and intestines and red welts and blotches on my tongue, brain fog, tingling in the arms and hands, debilitating headaches not to mention...

    I now have formed BM's unless i make a mistake then I don't... 4 months is still early days yet it can take a while for things to heal.. i can't eat oats even gluten-free ones, and I'm sure others will come back with what they react to as well... I've had celiac disease since early childhood but only diagnosed for the last almost 9 years now, and I'm still...

    Gooday Give up the gluten-free pizza, cheese and gluten-free bread which is much higher in carbs and fat than non gluten-free types (if you really want to lose weight). if you still want to eat cheese you have to do low fat cheese such as cottage cheese (yeuch) or non-fat ricotta cheese... and you really must limit the carbs you take in with the rice...

    It's an interesting theory, my gums started receeding in my 20's (celiac disease for 47 years) what's maybe even more so is that for me is that the first reaction i get to gluten is my tongue, it starts to feel swollen and comes up with red itchy blotches and circles, and thats when i put it in my mouth it's almost instantaneous for me and thats when I know...

    That's what i call keeping it real, even though i have been gluten-free nine years I still compare the taste of what I remember food tasted like to what gluten-free food tastes like I don't even bother to bake gluten-free anything as I'm so disappointed I just eat fresh prepared myself unprocessed foods... Thats not to say i haven't tried gluten-free, I have...

    Just remembering the "migraines" where no medication would make it better and they would be endless in their duration... Haven't had a "migraine" since being gluten-free. I'm very thankful for that

    I agree with what the others are saying... plus high doses of Iron can give you either constipation and or diarhea, definately get that pain in the RUQ checked out.. you haven't mentioned your haemoglobin levels.. get those checked too. The malabsorption issues are a real pain and how much damage you have sustained from eating gluten has a determination on...

    If you're sure it's not your food, drink or new medication then you need to see a Doctor........

    Hi ... frequency of urination could be symptomatic of the start of a UTI, is your urine cloudy or smelly (if so get tested for a UTI) or are you just drinking more, i can't remember if my urinary habits changed after going gluten-free as it was 8 years ago and I have the notorious Celiac memory. But I'm sure others here will be able to help you more.....Also...

    I first started being ill aged 18 months, after having a bout of pnuemonia, failure to thrive and all that goes with it such as delayed puberty followed, I remember always being starving hungry and when the TOM started things went from bad to worse i was at the Drs every few months and they would put me on iron supplements and tell me to go away, 10 years...
