    I'm in the UK. Do u have toffee nut syrup? Do u know if it's ok? What are the ingredients I should check for?

    Does anyone know if the syrups used in Starbucks are gluten free? Something 'got' me the other day & I'm trying to work out what it was.

    Ok, so still waiting on my GI doctor appt - next week. My GP put me on gluten free diet as i thought i had identified gluten as the cause of the diarrhoea and the fast worsening symptoms resulting in being awake all night crying in agony with the stomach pains and running to the loo (like food poisoning basically, except not!) On the diet the diarrhoea totally...

    Why not lactose? I'm eating a diet of rice, milk and yoghurt. D has stopped altho possibly a little C now. Am veggie & beans & veg didn't go down very well so just been avoiding them. What would be symptoms of a lactose prob? I'm damn tired & weak. By the way bloods were fine & celiac panel not back yet

    Hi, me again. I get my blood results tomorrow - really scared. Having had D everyday since June, and awful nausea resulting in medication and then just not eating as that seemed to make it stop, my stomach FINALLY seems to be returning to normal - although it still isn't tolerating much food at a time since an awful episode last week. I was so ill and have...

    If you react to barley as well as wheat, does that mean you're celiac?

    Hi, i know nothing about gluten and mental stuff but i just wanted to send you a virtual hug. I have suffered with depression (officially diagnosed) for 10yrs and had a very sad childhood (in my head). It's awful. I've been hospitalised, suicidal, self harming and anorexia. I've just gone gluten free (due to GI symptoms) and am hoping,as a bonus, with time...

    After the severe pain I endured on Monday I haven't felt like much food as my stomach has remained very delicate and won't tolerate much food at a time so hunger has not been a problem for me. Hav been eating rice cakes with jam or nut butters or cream cheese. I tried homemade bean chilli with brown rice but that flared up my stomach so back to rice cakes...

    I've been gluten free for 4 complete days and this morning had my 1st normal stool in months!!! I've been very restricted in my diet so it's still possible that something else is causing the GI issues but I'm so happy would u expect a reaction this quickly if it was celiac?

    I've been wondering about dairy and soya intolerances, but my doctor doesn't want me to cut out anything else just now because of my weight. I don't know. also if i try too many things at once then i'm in an elimination diet situ and will have to test on the basis of reintroducing rather than exclusion. I'm pretty terrified of eating anything just now. I...

    Ok, so have daily D for months now along with nausea. Been treated with various meds but no resolution. I virtually stopped eating and i noticed that when i had wheat,barley etc i got D the following morning, if i didn't have it the following morning i was fine. So after weeks of eating very very little and lots of research which said i needed to be eating...

    Hi, I just wanted to thank u all for all ur help so far. After my severe episode earlier this week I saw my Dr who is very concerned so now whatever happens I at least have a Dr who wants to find the answer. Waiting for my coeliac panel to come back. TERRIFIED it comes back negative & I won't be allowed to be diagnosed as coeliac. It matters in UK as...

    So...my stomach blew up like a freakin balloon again last night, nothing different there. But this time after 1.5hrs sleep i woke with SEVERE stomach pain. It was a constant pain coupled with extra waves of cramp so painful i was calling out. I had similar episodes twice last week but the pain was nothing like this, curiously each time has been worse than...

    I didn't sleep well! But it was an improvement on not having any 2 nights last week - had to get up and sit with a hot water bottle on my stomach until midday. I'm so nervous about the Dr tomorrow, i've made such a fuss about my symptoms if it isn't gluten i'm going to feel like such an idiot. And if it's the medication, an even bigger idiot. But i did...

    Ok, sorry for posting once again but just wanted to run something by you all. I've arranged a Dr appt but i want to go in armed with as much info as possible so i'm not fobbed off as i suspect i will be. Past week i've been up during the night with stomach pains etc and if i remember correctly i'd had more gluten than normally i'd have that day. So yesterday...

    Hi, I've posted here recently about my symptoms & told how my GP said to get a book out the library and cone see him in a month- rubbish I think. Well things are getting worse- I've started to eat again & my stomach has swollen up 2 dress sizes worth. I have has 2 nights this wk where I've been up all night doubled over in pain. I'm going to the doctor...

    Thanks for the comments. I've ordered the book (from the library) the GP told me to get -it's by a guy called Brostoff? Anyone heard of him? I wanted to ask if people experience symptoms the following morning after eating gluten? One thing that makes me think its not is that i always thought symptoms would be much worse and more violent than they are, and...

    Hi, i was looking for some thoughts and advice. For about a year now i have had GI problems that i've never really bothered my GP about. Bloating, waking up in the morning feeling really full, gas and passing huge stools - so big they frequently block the toilet. I saw a doctor about the latter issue and given that i was only going once a week or so they...
