I don't mind it at all as its not a sensitive issue with me. Although... it is because of this that the gluten free diet is not taken as seriously as it should be. Cross contamination is one of...

So I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in Oct 2012. I am 24 by the way. But I have started to notice in the past 6 months that my bowel movements are changing a fair bit.

When i try and tell him my symptoms he doesnt even seem to acknowledge them.. night sweats... aching joint.. depression.. and in the past month it seems to have calmed...
