    This topic has been really good, it makes me feel less alone and crazy. At first I thought I really needed an official diagnosis of what was making me so sick. Doubled up in pain, struggling to get through work, not able to move from the couch, losing all my strength that I had built up at the gym, extremely tired... I didn't even think that bloating, bad...

    I am doing a lot more baking than I used to and as a result I am eating a lot more cake than I did before going gluten free! Before I could go out for a piece of cake if I was craving it, now I end up with a whole cake and someone has to eat it. It may be a bit old school, but a bought a few of Bette Hagman's Gluten free gourmet books and the recipes are...

    I'm in Australia and we have pumpkin in the green grocers all year. I know it is out of season even for us, but I didn't really think of that

    This is an easy meal that is even a favourite for my gluten loving partner. 1/4 pumpkin cut into 2cm cubes and baked in the oven until cooked through. 2 cups of quinoa (cooked to packet instructions, I like to add some gluten free vegie stock powder to the water) 1 small red onion finely chopped 1 red capsicum cut into small pieces 1/3 cup currants...

    I use this recipe: Open Original Shared Link I just replace the flour with Orgran all purpose flour and these cookies are awesome. You can't tell they are gluten free. (a cup of crushed walnuts is nice mixed in too.)

    Thanks for everyone's replies. I am just frustrated by the lack of support that I have from doctors. This specialist only saw me once yesterday. I've been well for about 5 months now with only short relapses when I have not been as careful with my diet. My main GP told me that I had Gluten Intolerance, but I could eat gluten sometimes. Then he gave me...

    I saw a GI specialist today and the hospital. I have been waiting many months to see him and after this I don't have anymore answers. I have been suspicious of celiac as I was getting severe pain on my left side, floating yellow stools, bloating, wind, tiredness. All of which has resolved since I have cut out gluten and return worse even when I have...

    I have been Gluten free for about 4 months and have been having significant improvements with my digestive system. One thing I have noticed is that now if I am accidently glutened by CC, I am having much worse reactions. My partner and I are getting much better at managing CC risks at home, but it seems like if I am going to eat food that someone else prepares...

    Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to say that I'm in a similar situation and I understand how stressful and confusing it is. My doctor told me that I am not celiac, but gluten intolerant because I had a negative celiac panel. I had only been eating gluten for 10 days before the test and I know now that it is not enough, even though my doctor says it is. He...

    This year I started getting pain on my left side. It came in waves, but increasingly got worse. Doctor first said it was just gastro, when I still had it for 2 months, he had me tested and scanned for problems with my kidney, bladder, ovaries and every test came back negative. He basically said that he had no idea, I wasn't a serious case because the only...

    I am not sure if I have a problem with gluten and I was interested to see if anyone else has any suggestions. For the last 3 months I have been having increasingly bad pain on my upper left side of my abdomen. I mostly feel the pain in the front, but when it gets really bad I also feel it in the back. The pain always comes in waves, sometimes it is just...
