Hey, I did a search on the forum as well as google searching, and Brothers ciders website, and I can't find out if their Cider is gluten free! I e-mailed them months ago and no response. Very frustrating as it was my favourite drink, but didn't want to risk it. A lot of ciders are ok.. but they have a few flavoured ones, which I assume is probably just sugar...

Hmm my doctor told me to get off gluten, and i waited 6 weeks for a GI appointment, and when I got there they told me that the only way to get a positive result (aside from blood tests, which came back negative) was having a endoscopy, but that I'd need to be back on gluten for atleast 4-6 weeks. Speaking with people on here, many have said you need to be...

Glad i found this thread, because I've been gluten free for 3 months now and everytime i get a period it feels like my early periods all over again, where it's the worst pains, that i'm exhausted, headaches all day, major bloating! It's bad because it really is affecting my daily life, unfortunately i had severe pains all day yesterday, and all i wanted to...

When i went gluten free i was really anaemic as well. So my doctor told me that was why i felt completely tired out. Id have two naps a day usually a few hours and still feel exhausted. Its like a detox on your system, and all the bad stuffs getting cleaned out, so you wont feel great initially but you will get better! Just give your body the rest it needs...

I get this even worse after drinking alcohol, i feel fairly sober until i go to sleep and then i have continued conversations with people in my dreams. so i wake up feeling muddled, drunk and confused about what happened!

Since going gluten free, i find it really hard to wake up! Not so much because i'm tired, but i get into such a deep sleep, i often dont hear my alarm go off, and i can easily fall back into a long sleep! Also i can remember my dreams very clearly the next day, and they seem more vivid then they used too. Often things that have occurred from the day before...

Yeah i can understand what Love2travel is saying! But because i was extremely ill, i understand the importance of keeping off gluten. As much as i crave sandwiches and meals out are torture, i have pretty great willpower! I think it helps that i was brought up a veggie and went vegan 7 years ago, so i'm used to avoiding things and even as a vegan i would...

If they'd just kept me on gluten to begin with it would make sense to be getting this biopsy in a months time. I just don't want to ruin more of this year with this! Thanks for the answers, i wasn't sure if other people had been in a similar situation and what they would do. Seems daft to go through it all again!

Thanks for the responses! My heads in a muddle. The only reasons I'd consider going back on gluten was so i can get this biopsy test and hopefully get a positive test. Also living in the UK once i get diagnosed i can get prescribed special foods. But if this test isnt always accurate either.. i'd feel even more upset if i go through all this and get no conclusive...

So I'd gone to the drs a few times about my stomach problems and they just put it down to IBS. But the pains were getting really intense and i was basically living off soup, that they got me to have blood tests. Which showed i was very anaemic, (they were still waiting on the coeliac test results) but they sent me to hospital. After a long talk with a consultant...

Hello, Most years I attend an outdoor festival in the UK, and only this year been diagnosed with being coeliac. I was wondering what experiences others had at outdoor/camping festivals? Did any of the food vans cater for a gluten free diet? I've always found it a little trickier going to festivals anyway being a vegan, but they usually have atleast one...
