  1. There is different advice around, but 1 meal is about right. Hope you get some answers, but do come here with questions, and if you need to rant
  2. That is great, so glad you got a wow too!! I ended up with an NCGI diagnosis after genetic testing, which he took seriously, and sent me to adietician.. Hope all the testing and diagnosis go well, sounds like you really found a good one
  3. Yes, I should have said more clearly, ignore the dietician if you want to. As I always like to say, go with your gut . I think nhs dieticians are trained to persuade people not to cut out major food groups. I may not have been entirely accurate in my description of what I was planning to eat after my elimination diet :)
  4. I had to ditch most of the processed gluten-free food within 6 weeks. I don't know which ingredients upset me, but I have given it up mostly now. I think corn/maize.were maybe a problem, plus all the extra sugar. I have read here about lots of people who struggle with them. I am not sure about the allergy side of things. I think I would at least want epipens...
  5. I was exhausted and stressed during my challenge last summer. I was sleeping 15 hours a day, and could barely drag myself through the day. I also found my gastrointestinal symptoms got worse. I was bad enough after 3 weeks that my doctor told me to stop.in Call your doctor for advice if it gets too bad. My moods started to improve almost as soon as I went...
  6. Me too, could have saved over 20 years.... Oh well, maybe someone reading this will have the penny drop
  7. I have NCGI and my anxiety was bad before, much better now. Fingers crossed for you
  8. I am soooo in love with coconut oil at the moment PS no swaps thanks. Just starting to warm up a bit here. Almost spring like. Irish, walk on the beach and lunch at mine then?
  9. Shows up the gluteny crumbs of said small children a treat though, no one gets away with saying they didn't know the table needed wiping...
  10. We had foam like that last year after storms. It was hilarious, but very odd. IH, maybe you could get some bright lights and cocktails or something. Or maybe this is the perfect time to start practicing speaking dolphin to get ready? Oh, more lamb encores with tomatoes and stuff.
  11. It was a memorable night Well, I say memorable...
  12. Ah, but these are at least scrubable. Most of it came off with oven cleaner. Given how much I wipe off on a daily basis I dread to think what the real state of our old chairs was. The sofas are shades of brown (plus yogurt). One day I walked in to find that in the 2 minutes I was in the kitchen my daughter had covered her arms, legs and the sofa in yogurt...
  13. Just spotted you back - how's it all going now?
  14. Hmmm. My nice new white chairs gained some interesting new blue scribbles this morning. Grrr.
  15. Hahaha - melon vodka was the worst!! I broke out all over my face and body in 2 minutes. I always had a reputation as a lightweight, now I know why
  16. Just to add, my anxiety and panic attacks have also gone since I was gluten-free. Anxiety is one of the ways I know I have been glutened. So - you may find gluten-free helps with all that side of things too. It is worth being aware that if you do get anxious, it may be that you have been glutened. If so, hold on.to the fact that it will pass.
  17. Maybe write down your questions. I always forget by the time I get in the office. My new GI took my paper and wrote to me with answers to all my questions. Wow.
  18. I have reacted to vodka since my 20s, with vomiting and instant skin rashes. I gave up in the end. I gave up all alcohol in the end 15 years later. Flavored vodkas were the worst (and the worst times were in Italy, as it happens). I have NCGI.
  19. Yep - lamb encores, with mushroom and tomato, cooked in garlic and coconut milk. My tastebuds have gone really weird since this elimination diet. I had tuna with stir fried brussell sprouts and anchovies for lunch. Worse than when I was pregnant I think (and before you ask, nooooooo) I was thinking a different thing on rate my professor, ooops.....
  20. I can only answer for myself - I am non celiac gluten intolerant, and my glutening symptoms are pretty much as before, if a bit stronger. I don't think I have any new symptoms, so maybe that is how it will be for you. So I get tiredness, migraine, brain fog, gastro problems. Everyone is different. Not everyone gets symptoms from glutening. Whatever it...
  21. I had a dietican appointment recently, and found that she didn't know much about celiac(e,g, said that I souldn't need vitamins etc as long as I was eating a healthy diet - er, never heard of malabsorbtion???) but she was helpful on a general level to make sure that what I am eating gluten-free is nutritionally balanced. I basically told her what I was going...
  22. Not worked it out yet ... marginally better gluten-free, have been dairy free a month and that has not made a difference. I guss at least I may get dairy back
  23. I told my husband we would have to go totally gluten-free if I didn't stop getting glutened (5 times in 6 weeks). Strangely, I have been fine for the past month.....
  24. Oh, and James Welbeloved do gluten-free pet foods. We found it as cheap as what we were using before! From pet shops, and their customer care line is very helpful! Our cat has a new lease of life since we switched her on to it. If he hasn't finished testing, he should stillbe eating gluten, for both blood tests and biopsy. Your doctor should know this...
  25. Hi I am in the UK, so maybe I can give you a few starters here. First of all though, it looks like this has brought up all sorts of marraige issues. I guess you have to do something there too. If he has only recently stopped drinking, there are probably a whole host of things going on for you and him. Maybe you can get some support for this side of things...
