    The problem I am finding at the moment is that to get my gluten-free food I am having to go to at least 3 diffrent sources in order to get a balance and when costed togther I am paying double of that I would if I brought similar products in my local Sainsburys. Why I don't know, but I know cost is one of the biggest issues for me personally at the moment...

    yes but the problem is when your in a country like the UK which is only just getting to grips with diabeties let alone Coeliacs it is nigh on impossible to avoid all glutens because it is hidden in so many of our everyday foods. At the moment we have to slow the progress down rather than halt it. At the moment it just cannot be done unless we all decided...

    Yes the toilet end, one thing us British don't do well talking about but I have to bite the bullet and find out about this one. For a few months now when I have been sat down, no even for long periods of time I find I get pain in the base of my spine and into my back passage....to be honest it feels like I have been thumped down there, most unpleasent...

    I had my first appointment with a dietician this week and even they don't know how coeliacs can be dealt with, many of them are still on a learning curve themselves as it is a relitivly modern thing. However she did say there are diffrent types of coeliacs, the ones who really can't take anything with glutens in it and those who could tolerate some but...

    I have a similar problem in a couple months when I have to go to a confrence up country. I have to attend the gala dinner as my local referees secretary because it's the only real way to make contacts and get myself known to the select list referees who we would like to come down to our area and talk at some point, however there will be nothing I can eat...

    Exeter isn't too bad for shop's there are a couple which I can get ingrediants from. Annoyingly it now involves me having to learn to cook my own food, before hand I could chuck something in the microwave and no problems. I haven't got my suitable food list yet because I am being refered to a dietician who will be able to go into the diet in more depth...

    Meat isn't an option for me, been veggie for years and I'm not likely to revert back. However I have been eating the gluten-free breads and cereals for months now, even before my diagnosis, and find them better than regular cereals, so I will look to replace with those. Protien wise I will have to find some alternitive source to aid the carbs.

    I will certinally give them a go. Must admit I am not a fan of peanuts, but I will give them a shot as I always react to Sunflower seeds (and oil). Bit of a tough balance at the moment trying to eat the right foods and alsy keep my weight down to maintain match fitness but with the end of the season just a few weeks away I can at least use the summer...

    Having just been diagnosed with celiac disease I am now in a bit of a tough position sport wise. Before my diagnosis my diet on the day of a football match (I referee the game here in the UK) consisted mainly of Cereal, pasta and other high carb wheat based foods. Obviously now I can't do this and while I have been eating the gluten-free versions I...

    The UK is so under prepared for celiac disease, doctors never seem to be able to tally symptoms together and even if they do they are retisent about doing blood tests because it costs the primary health care trust money! Funnily enough I always thought the NHS was about health care! Anyway in work last week I had to attend a training course on self...

    well I have been to the doctor and had the blood tests done, just awaiting on the results of that. In the meantime my doc had said to try a bit of an experiment, for a month he wants me to go gluten-free while we wait for the initial results to come back, test again, see what happens than then go back to normal for another month and test once again to...

    after a few years of 'getting the feeling' that I had an intollerance to gulten, it seems yesterday everything has been finally confirmed. For years now I have had problems with my sinusus, always blocked, ears bunged up with wax etc, yesterday I had an appointment with someone to have an ear candling done which went well. However after the inital treatment...
