    Oh my goodness! A light has just been switched on for me with this question - I am 42 and only discovered I am celiac this year - obviously now, I have had it from childhood with tons of symptoms that have been 'explained' away or worse unexplained over the past 40 years. When I was a child I often complained of a 'chokey' feeling!! I felt like my throat...

    I have had both of the symptoms you describe - the gurgling sounds like a starbucks coffee machine attached to a PA system. The pain is often acompanied by extortionate amounts of gas - like there will be no end to it and it is a living nightmare. A few christmases ago, I came back from the in laws on xmas day and pain got progressively worse that I thought...

    I find eggs are a culprit for gas. I love eggs but they dont love me LOL.

    Welcome to the forum:P ...and welcome to the start of your brand new life. Iam nearly 4 months in and apart from the odd crash and mistake, my life is better than I couldever imagine when I was feeling as you put it 'crummy all the time'. Everyone on here is lovely and some are very wise and experienced at all this gluten-free stuff so read, read and...

    Are you still eating cheese and dairy? I was like this until I realised you should cut it our for the first month of so of gluten-free. It worked. x

    well done on your first 11 days. I have been gluten-free for just over 2 months and felt really good - totally symptom free after about 5 days. I had some issues creeping back around week 3 when I realised through the wisdom on this forum that I must cut out dairy. I did this and felt better again in a matter of days. I have had a bad week this week after...

    Awwww (((hugs)) i have just come out of a bad glutening after being symptom free for just over 2 months. Its a rocky road that is for sure but someone once saod to me that 'the most difficult paths lead to the most wonderful views' You are right to feel low - pain in crippling and takes over every waking moment when you are poorly so be gentle and kind...

    I have had this too! Before I was diagnosed (or self diagnosed with positive gene test and symptoms) I had a period of a few months where I honestly started to worry if I was pregnant and it was a baby moving inside me! It felt like a fluttering and twitching with NO pain just a very ODD sensation. I found it would come mostly at night or in the evenings...

    hello and welcome :) I had an ectopic and a miscarriage - both took a long time to concieve. Followed by 2 plus years of unexplained infertility, very painful and highly irregular periods (one every 45-60 days) Had 6 months of clomid - no success. At 40 got to top of ivf list but decided not to go through with it and be childfree by cholce (it...

    Hi and welcome You will be in good company here I promise. WOW, what a story and what an ending - I say ending but really it is just the beginning of hopefully continued better health that you are now experiencing! I can feel the high you are on after finally discovering what was wrong - you sound elated and I am elated for you. I feel the same...

    Hi and welcome to the board I am sure others will be along to give you some words of wisdom as there are lots of lovely people here - many of them very knowledgable about all things gluten. I am fairly new to dealing with this myself and have been gluten free (gluten-free) for about 2 months. I cannot offer any knowledge on your skin condition but...

    hi and welcome I would also suggest that you cut out Dairy products for at least 30 days and see if it makes any difference. I felt some instant relief of symptoms when I first went gluten-free but quickly deteriorated until I found out that while your body is healing or trying to heal, then cheese, milk, yoghurt and other dairy can have similar symptoms...

    Thanks for your replies - I called waitrose and they confirm it is gluten free. The vinegar is spirit vinegar and because it is distilled it does not contain gluten. It's hard to get my head around the laying off cheese thing - I just couldnt imagine it would cause such burning and pain in the lower part of my tummy but I know that there is likely to be...

    Hi Everyone I have been on a high the past 5 weeks since commmitting fully to gluten-free (as long as I can get my head around the labelling). I crashed this morning with sore tummy (pinching and injured feeling)and a return of gas although nothing like it was before gluten-free. There are 2 things that I figure may have caused it and would appreciate...
