    Hello everybody! It's been so long since I posted, but after this last weekend - I need your wise words! Basically, brief background is I have been 'off' gluten (and dairy) for about 11 months now. I say 'off' as although I am consciously trying to avoid - and do avoid - all things gluten, every now and then things slip in, and probably, if I'd be...

    Hi all, I'm at my absolute wits end and really hoping you incredibly knowledgable and supportive lot might be able to help me out. Brief backround - stomach issues since very young. Bloating, excessive d, and for the longest time have had no idea why. After a period of immense stress about a year ago, was forced to take a day off work with the most...

    Hello all! So, I am first thing tomorrow morning going to visit a good friend in Kyiv! I am just a little concerned about gluten free provisions - can anybody give any advice? Can anyone give any tips on generally how I should prepare for the trip, much appreciated! What kind of foods do you take with you when you travel? I'm UK based and taking...

    Hello all! So, I am first thing tomorrow morning to visit a good friend in Kyiv! I am just a little concerned about gluten free provisions there - can anybody give any advice? I have googled 'gluten free Ukraine' and a site called Celiac Ukraine has come up, however, the English pages aren't up and running yet. I did notice, however, that...

    Hello all, So today, after 3 weeks of pestering, I finally got faxed a copy of my blood test results. I've already had a follow-up appointment with the gastro to go through my results. Devoting 5 minutes (no joke, this guy is a private specialist on Harley Street in London, who is often running late due to over-running with other, I guess, 'more worthwhile...

    Hi all! So, I have been super careful for the last few weeks and feeling so so much better. Only got glutened once a few weeks ago (on holiday, lousy timing but hey) and I think it was either from cross-contamination with gluten free/non-gluten free chips in the same salsa or shrimp which were seasoned with some kind of sauce. Anyway, I think I may...

    Hi everyone So I've been trying to go gluten free for about 3, 4 weeks now, and for the most part, I I think I'm doing ok. I am also going dairy free as that literally gives me a 3 second warning and I am running to the bathroom! Anyway, despite my tryings and being careful, my stomach is not any better. I have just spent a half hour on the toilet...

    Hi all, I want to make homemade hummus tonight, which I love, but a little scared of the ingredients - there may be some sneaky gluteness in there! - 1 can of chickpeas - 1 lemon - Olive oil - Tahini (1 spoon ful) - Chilli powder (to flabour) I guess my concern is the tahini? Also, Boy has pickled some aubergines - am I ok to eat these...

    Hey everyone, First off, thank you so so much for your incredibly supportive and insightful responses to my last post (being frustrated!) I've come back from the brink of disappointment to know I know my body better than any one else, and gluten is simply not my friend. So I have been gluten free now for 2 weeks, and been properly trying to for the...

    Hi everyone, So I saw the gastroenterologist for the results of my blood tests, barium followthrough and ultrasound this morning. A 'very satisfactory set of results' in his words. Which meant negative blood tests for celiacs, and the ultrasound and xray were clear. It took a lot of strength not to cry in his office- I was so hoping for a diagnosis...

    No worries at all!! A very English dish (in fact, my Californian mother in law was having it for the first time!) It's basically cod, haddock in a creamy sauce (as I'm writing this I'm reading the error of my ways...) and mashed potato on top. It's more the stabbing pains that concern me - is this related to me ingesting something I shouldn't? Or completely...

    Hi all, So I'm seeing the gastroenterologist on Wednesday to hear the results on 4 blood tests (1 for antibodies, 1 for celiacs and another 2 I can't remember) and I also did an ultrasoud and barium followthrough. First off, with that combo of tests, what do you think he was looking for, other than gluten intolerance? So, although I know I shouldn...

    It was a pie with mashed potato which is why I thought it would be ok...I guess there would have been milk in it though!

    Oh thank you all so so so much for coming back to me so quickly!!! So what should I do? Another week and a half-should I just carry on going with gluten in case the doc wants to other tests, or will the tests I've done be conclusive enough? Xxx

    Hi all, So, I've been reading the posts in this forum and others, and it's like FINALLY opening a door to just an incredible understanding of myself for the last ten years!! I want to ask a few questions of you all, of those who have been through diagnosis, mis-diagnosis, the ups, the downs, the pains. By way of recent background, I was referred to...
