My issues were mainly mental health issues. I can remember not liking to go into shops from being so young (maybe 3/4) and noisy places have always upset me. Apparently I was a difficult child who used to have tantrums in public places often, and my parents didn't know how to deal with me. They considered getting me psychological help, but didn't want to...

I worry, enough that I've never eaten/drank out since realising the gluten problem. That said, I am stupidly sensitive. The food may be gluten free, but are the hands that are touching stuff. That would pose a problem to me sadly, since I loved eating out.

Sauerkraut is dead easy to make, but a little time consuming. have you considered water kefir? Easy, and done in a couple of days only.

I agree with Bubbas mom. also I've been unwell for about six weeks, panicking like crazy only to find that the cornflour I've been using to thicken gravy and sauces is packaged in a factory that handles wheat products. Stopped using it and finally after a week and a half my stomach is beginning to settle. So yeah, anything like that I would personally...

Bad girl today, a handful of almonds, and a couple of chunks of pineapple, a couple of strawberries and a cup of tea.

Raven (((hugs))) I too have a strained relationship with my family, my older two children included thanks to illness. I can only imagine the pain of losing a beloved pet. I have a dog and she's been a lifesaver. Totally non judgemental, ever loving, and always pleased to see you, even when you are crying. Be kind to yourself <3

I'm not diagnosed as celiac, rather as non celiac gluten intolerance. I would say there is a good chance given my symptoms that I AM celiac, but haven't had the endoscopy to prove it either way. High stress lifestyle. Difficult child/teenage life which resulted in me striking out on my own at 16, to end up married to a physically/mentally/financially...

Hey, thanks for the reply Yes, the multivit/probiotic is lactose and gluten free. It DOES contain milk proteins though. I am so confused because I had been taking lactofree milk with no side effects except possibly heartburn (but I had attributed the heartburn to the gluten challenge irritating my stomach) Yet, aren't goat milk products supposed to...

I did a gluten challenge for a month a while back (ended on 1st july on specialists advice). Since that date I have been gluten free. I am still having problems for which I have been back to the doctor. I was chronically constipated, had acid reflux, got a cough, and developed breathing problems too in the last couple of weeks. Now, I was trying...

I would cut it to be honest. It's full of artificial sweeteners by the looks of it and that stuff will do you no good at all.

The probiotic coincides with the diarrhoea starting? Maybe stop for a few days see if it improves without that

Are you taking any medication in the mornings or something like that? I only ask because I'd been having stomach pains and feeling breathless for a couple of weeks, mainly during the afternoons/evenings. Forgot to take probiotic/multivit one day, felt more or less ok (no breathlessness anyway) and haven't taken it since because of this. Stomach feeling better...

Hmmm. I'll be interested in this too. I get patches on my thumbs lately but it did used to be across my whole hands on occasion. Does the skin on your hands around the cracks seem thickened too Greg? Mine has gone since cutting all dairy. Maybe that will be the last of it.

The easiest and most pain free way I have found is to cook foods that would normally be gluten free anyway. I've been gluten free a while now, and whilst some gluten free substitutes taste ok, for some reason I still feel deprived A jacket potato, salad and chicken breast taste the same as they always did however. Breakfast was the hard one for...

We can go together um, one croissant.......not for $150 no way. Maybe for
