    If the info on Lennox is correct, #BelfastCityCouncil must be hiding something! Why will they not let the Barnes family have his body?

    That's really great news! I would just like to add though, that I had very low ferritin levels before I was diagnosed with coeliac disease. Doctor did tests as my muscles were very weak and shaky. It can take quite a long time in some people, to start feeling better once all wheat and gluten are eliminated, so don't automatically assume that wheat is not...

    Quite right too! I just didn't realise that you could get sick even if you hadn't ingested gluten. In the UK they don't give this advice, they only tell us not to eat food with gluten in. Although, I think recently, they have moved their opinion slightly on lipstick and lip balm, so perhaps they will do more research?

    I'm having a hard time finding lip products that are gluten free, and I have to rely on postal service to get them as they are not readily available in the UK shops. I get looked at like I've grown another head when I dare to ask sales assistants about gluten in lipstick. I have gluten free toothpaste as that is more obvious. I think I need to become more...

    In some instances it's possible, but in others it's much more difficult in getting hold of people to look into it. Some sat they'll ring me back when they've looked it up but quite often they don't get back in touch.

    With moisturisers, it's quite difficult to find one without vitamin E or wheat germ in. I also won't use products tested on animals which makes it even more difficult, as most cruelty free products seem to use natural ingredients like vitamin E.

    I guess I'd not thought about putting fingers in my mouth, but we all do it sometimes. There's a lot more to think about than I realised. I'd considered the lip balm, lipstick thing and toothpaste and changed accordingly. I only asked, as some of my symptoms have returned and I knew my food was all gluten free. So maybe this is where the problem lies? ...

    That's a good point, one I'd not considered. I will have to rethink what products I use. Unfortunately there's not a lot of gluten free products in the UK, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack! Thanks for advice.

    Why do you recommend gluten free toiletries as well as food? I can understand why you would not want to use lipstick or lip balm with gluten in, that's pretty obvious, but skin creams etc.? In UK no-one seems to think it's necessary.

    Hi! I'm new on here too, but quite a few years ago I was diagnosed with an under-active thyroid (diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago) and it started ringing bells when I read your post. I lost 50 percent of my hair (fortunately I had very thick hair to begin with) I also had very heavy periods. I think it's definitely a good idea to get your thyroid checked out...

    Hi everyone! I was diagnosed as Coeliac in November last year by having biopsies at hospital after a L--O--N--G drawn out and exasperating time. I also have Diabetes, and an under-active thyroid, nerve pain due to spine degeneration, IBS and dairy intolerant. I have managed quite well since going gluten free, but recently my internal 'shakiness' and muscle...
