    Thanks for the replies. Endoscopy today revealed fissures and scarring, although official results next week. I don't think I'll ever get my head around beef stew for breakfast, LOL!! I will have to come up with some preprepared foods I guess... something I can freeze/ zap in the microwave. Fruit and yoghurt is ok, but not in winter. I'm not a big...

    Hi everyone, Does anyone have some gluten-free bread recipes that aren't high in calories? My 'normal' bread was around 120 cals per slice, yet gluten-free ones seem much higher than that. I don't eat a lot of bread anyway, but want to have it when I fancy it! Also, cereal. Oh my God. I am struggling with breakfast time! Rice porridge is ok. But not...

    I'm so glad I've seen this thread - I too am just diagnosed... still eating gluten, endoscopy on 13th April. I think I spent 4 days depressed, tearful and down right bloody angry that this has happened to me. I've moved past that this week but only because I'm choosing not to deal with it and think about it too much - after all, I have a few more weeks of...

    Hi all, Thanks to everyone who has replied to my previous posts, I'm new here so you may be seeing lots of questions from me! A bit of history req'd before I get to the point.... I'm 27 yrs old. I visited GP in November after 3 episodes (a few months apart) of stomach pain. Other doctor already ruled out gall stones and ultrasound of abdomen was...

    Hi everyone, So my bloodwork says celiac, awaiting endoscopy in next few weeks, so still eating gluten but trying to get my head around all things celiac in an attempt to be in some way prepared for going gluten free. My history is that celiac was detected after a food allergy screen due to 3 occasions of stomach pain. Other than that, no symptoms to speak...

    I'm not getting put to sleep! If I was having a GA that'd be fine. No budget for that apparently!

    So after positive bloodwork following non specific symptoms (occasional stomach pain), I finally saw the gastro specialist this week. She says given my results she is certain I have celiac, and is scheduling an endoscopy for me within the next 6 weeks. Dreading that. I've had to take the kids for screening tests - that was NOT fun. Results next week...

    Hi Everyone, I'm a newly diagnosed celiac - blood tests positive, despite very few symptoms, now awaiting specialist appt and biopsy. My GP has been useless - knows less about it than me apparently, so I feel like I am in limbo while I await further help from specialist. Anyway, I've been noticing a few things, which I'm not sure if they are related...

    Thanks for the replies.... I guess what I'm really wondering, is that given my lack of symptoms, does it matter? Do I have to be gluten free?? If it only makes me symptomatic a handful of times, is it worth the whole gluten free headache??! And to what extent do you have to be gluten free? Only a handful of products in my pantry are gluten free.... can...

    Hi everyone, Yesterday my Dr told me I have celiac disease. I was tested for food allergies as on 3 occasions over the past year I have had some awful stomach pains.... I wasn't expecting results to show anything. I feel that my issues are more related to fatty foods more than wheat.... anyway... My results for Tissue Transglutaminase IgA and IgG were...
