  1. I could happily pass out or speak gibberish without the help of wine when mine were little!!!!
  2. Sound like having an inhaler around would be sensible, if you have had one prescribed but don't have one at present (not sure if I read that right). My son has an anaphalactic nut allergy, and it sets his asthma off too - so if we need to use antihistamines or epipen (so for no epipen, thank goodness, but carry 2 everywhere just in case) we also give...
  3. I am forever losing posts when my phone decides to eat them for me or something How is the little one now? Any more settled? I think mine started getting teeth not long after 3 months which was a bit tricky. Those first few months are hard work, I never knew how little sleep I could get through the day on. (Mind you, we broke quite a lot of things, most...
  4. Hi dotsdots Welcome to the forum . I hope you find some answers here, remember you can always start your own thread if not to ask questions not covered in blood testing. To both of you - if you are easting gluten now, a blood test as outlined above could be very helpful. If it should come back negative, think about the possiblity of Non Celiac Gluten...
  5. Hi there and welcome to the forum If you are wondering if he might have celiac disease, it is worth you knowing that to be tested he will need to be eating gluten for blood tests, and possibly an endoscopy, depending how your doctor tends to diagnose. Your story does sound familiar to other children mentioned on the forum, constipation can be a problem...
  6. In the UK I saw a dietitian. She was not very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten-free, but was very helpful to help me go through an elimination diet, and then to assess the foods I ended up eating and checking the nutritional value, and to keep up my weight loss. I found I wasn't getting enough calcium, and she was able to tell me to take it with vitamin...
  7. Sorry you are having a tough time. I found a number of other intolerances surfaced once I went gluten-free. I am NCGI, but still need to do gluten-free for life. I did an elimination diet and kept a food diary to work out the intolerances. I am wondering why your husband is unhappy for you to be altering your diet, if it keeps you healthier. Is...
  8. Thank heavens for your MIL. Hope you have a better day tomorrow Mw
  9. This is fantastic news:) Great to hear you are getting improvement so quickly. Your positive attitude on the board in the last few weeks has been lovely, I am sure you will continue to improve Mw x
  10. Helloooo You are not alone I have a fantastic image in my head now of a boneless turkey trying to cross the yard... 6.30 here and no idea what is for dinner. I fear it will be after kids bedtime now. There is some steak in the fridge though.
  11. I found that when I significantly dropped my carbs I had to up my good fats so I didn't feel hungry and snack too much. I use avocados, olives, and oils of avocado, olive and coconut. Sweet potatoes are good too. I don't deal with the extra sugar which is sometimes in low fat foods, and that gives me cravings too. I ended up mostly paleo, lost 42 lbs...
  12. Yes, once you have made a few posts you will be able to post instantly, and often if you need to It is worth a read of the forum rules, but as long as you stick those, post away and the good folks here will help if they can Mw
  13. It is all confusing isn't it? I have NCGI and negative genes, and I can tell you that my life has been transformed going gluten-free. The symptoms can be just as severe, and as recognition of the condition is so new, there isn't as much research as for celiac yet. I kept a record of symptoms before and after gluten-free, which helped my doctor diagnose...
  14. Not everyone has other intolerances, but some do. If you find that you are still having symptoms when you have been gluten-free a while, it is worth doing some further investigations. Some people have a temporary intolerance to dairy because of damage to the villi, but find that after 6 months or so can reintroduce once the damage has healed. I found...
  15. You'll need to head back down South for Eton Rice, ground lamb, zucchini, mushroom, bell peppers, onion. Just a few more days good weather before storms here, so will be making the most of it.
  16. Tough call. I Iasted 3 weeks before I became too ill to continue ans my doctor told me to stop. How long have you been told to do? Do you have a blood test and endoscopy scheduled? My take in the end was to last as long as I could, then get tested immediately. The positive for me of having tried was that I 100% knew I bad a problem with gluten and...
  17. Just a few posts All the moderators are volunteers, but we try and approve as quickly as we can. Welcome to the board, I hope we can help out
  18. Hey there rene I am nearly 12 months in to gluten-free now, and still find myself standing in the supermarket saying (to no one in particular) things like 'potato chips? Why do you need gluten to make potato chips?? I haven't eaten out much, as I have found it a mine field when I CAN read the ingredients, let alone when I have to depend on staff to...
  19. I love lavender almost as much as I love giraffes. Wow, that is serious. I haven't reintroduced honey yet, but a good set local one is VERY appealing. I told Mr Mindwarp that teaball would come in handy, and my lavender is amazing at the moment. Cheers
  20. Addy, how do you do the lavender? I like water with a slice of lemon. I had terrible reflux, but most of it went when I went gluten-free AND cut out most sugar including fruit for a few months. 10 months in I can now eat fruit most days. Chamomile can be soothing, and mint, especially if you just throw in a few fresh leaves to hot water. Good...
  21. More good days than bad is VERY good news. I now notice if I have a bad day, because it happens infrequently. 10.5 months gluten-free. Keep it up, we are here cheering you on
  22. Scallion sounds right, 6 to 8 inches, skinny and green with a small white bulb, great in stir fry. Gamon steak, peas, egg, new potatoes, mushrooms. At home tonight, but last few days have been dinner on the beach and late nights for kids. Trying for an early night, but it is mighty warm here now....
  23. Brown rice pasta, lamb, spring onions (what do you guys call those?), cucumber, tomatoes, avocado oil. On the beach
  24. Hi there I found b12 good too, and when I made sure I wasn't getting cross contamination and cleaned up my diet, to mostly paleo had great improvements. Brian fog is now one of my first symptoms when glutened, along with a kind of instant feeling of hopelessness which last about 3 days. Might be worth checking for any sneaky cc happening. Glad...
  25. Hi debrabenge Welcome to the site There is usually something tasty going on here. We look forward to seeing your new ideas too, I am sure you will soon be in the swing of it Just had salmon, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, garlic, cilantro, rice noodles. Mmm Mr M is now researching finger length. I have fingers like the ones in the pictures, and...
