    hi, just received my appointment for allergy tests on the 8th may.so now ive got to go through all the notes ive made over the months and try and make some sense of them. im really worried coz i just clam up when im in the docs, i do it every time even when i write notes down and take them with me. is there something i should be asking for or saying...

    hi jiggles, dont know where youre from but im in manchester, england. a wholefoods store is basically a health food shop! from what ive read on here in america it seems like you can virtually buy anything at the big supermarkets but here if youre looking for something a bit different like an organic,gluten free make-up range, or flouride free toothpaste...

    hi, i can only answer one of your questions- about acid reflux. this was the only thing the docs found when i had my celiac tests. theres nothing wrong but reflux- heres 2 prescriptions for it. i just thought im not getting into taking medicines for this and that!!! - i went gluten and dairy free the next day (with a few mistakes). ive only had one problem...

    ARCHIVED Red Eyes?

    jhol posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    hi there, about 4 years ago i had what i thought was recurring conjunctivitis and basically just put up with it until one day when i woke up and both eyes were devil red.went to the walk in center and the doc sent me straight to the eye hospital. so to cut a long story short, i went 4 times, cost me 20 quid each time, they didnt know what was wrong,...

    ARCHIVED Is This Hunger?

    jhol replied to jhol's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    no nothing like that at all. just had a vision of myself pumping iron with loads of muscles-that just made me laugh. dont take any medications at all if i can help it. just took some extra pain relief paracetamol with aspirin yesterday and its from then really. its 12-30 at night here in uk an im fighting the gnawing hunger - its my own fault for staying...

    im not a lover of taking pills if i can do without them- but had period pains today. which is a bit odd coz i dont really "do" periods. well not since i started having my problems "that dont really exist" - about 16 years ago. does this mean goin gluten free will give me "proper periods"!!!!! nooo! anyhow took some paracetamol but the extra strong fast...

    ARCHIVED Doctors!

    jhol posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    so, went to the docs today to see if i could hurry up the allergy tests. while there i mentioned the weird tingly thing thats going on with my "ladybits" the really dry mouth, cold hands, feet going "white" in the bath, the rash on face thats not gettin any better ect,ect. what did she do for me? she told me to go and buy some anti histamines , take...

    hi, there is a forum of sorts kind of connected to the site. i only found it by googling celiac uk forum - one of the sites that came up said useful links celiac uk. it brings up a page ,scroll down til u find the message board. dont know why they,ve made it so difficult to find. ive found though its mainly food based with people telling you that theyve...

    when i got the results of all my tests, the only thing they found was acid reflux!!!. i was given a prescription but decided there and then that i wouldnt start taking medicines for this and that.if something is irritating you it can only be something your eating or drinking. i went straight on the gluten and dairy free diet. i havent have any reflux from...

    the only way i know ive eaten "the wrong thing" is because i go absolutely freezing cold, get the chills, thankfully since ive gone gluten free i dont get the bloating any more. i hate getting wrapped up though because then im too hot!! it happened last night when i had some popcorn - think it was the soya!!! it could be a gluten symptom or could be a...

    hi there, just saying ,you might be better off introducing yourself in one of the lists on the forum page. theres one for friends of a relative with celiac - or something like that. just click on that then on the start a new thread button. more people will see your post that way.ask any questions you want, even if you think its stupid/dumb - ive asked...

    hi, just had another thought on the matter- i wonder if the manufacturer of the sausages has modified the recipe recently - maybe you could email them. sometimes its easy to get hung up on the gluten. even though they were gluten free they could of added a new herb or spice to the mix - its just a thought! with my own experience with coleslaw i tried...
  18. jhol
    to be honest, its completely up to you if you want the testing or not. or whether you could cope with the symptoms long enough to have the tests. there,s many on here who havent had the tests and some - like me that had the tests and they turned out negative!!! you could be gluten intolerant rather than celiac -and you,d only know if you have the tests ...

    hi dont know if this helps or not, i dont have any gastro problems at all - but i had the most horrible symptoms one night after a meal at my friends house. this was before i went on the gluten and dairy free diet.i retried everything i ate that night - it was the coleslaw!!! ive put it down to either the cabbage or the vinegar. ive not tried any of...

    sorry - yes when i said wheat i kinda mean gluten as in a celiac problem. i must admit im struggling with not being diagnosed with anything yet. i feel like i need to apologise for not having a diagnosis and feel my family would take me seriously if i had one . anyways just a little tired and confused at the moment -probably delayed symptoms. gonna phone...
