  1. hi greebo, thanks for answering- just havin a bit of a strop this morning lol. im ok now. i dont eat much gluten free products just a bit of pasta and bread - not into cakes and biscuits. i dont like the fact that they are full of stuff that i dont know what it is - if that made sense. i have bought some of the gluten free pesto sauce so must try that...
  2. joined about 2 weeks ago, it took me abt 3 weeks to figure out how to join- i am a bit crap on computers though!) only joined for the food directory that you get. im finding it a bit odd. there doesnt seem to be a designated forum like on here and the "meeting room" they have( that doesnt belong to celiac uk) just seems to be questions about food. is...
  3. hi mushroom, hope this doesnt sound like a really stupid question-( i just need to see the answer in black and white) but can you be a supersensitive when you havent been diagnosed with celiac? im really struggling with this non diagnosis thing and i know that your answer is gonna be yes- i just cant get my head round it. i was doing ok last week but...
  4. thanks, got a feeling it was the peppers in the soup. got some left so i,ll try it again and see if i get the headache again. it wasnt rice dream so the rice milk should be ok. and as for the eggs, since i dont like them much i probably shouldnt be eating them anyway
  5. ive been doing really well with the diet, but this week felt a bit off- a bit dizzy, lethargic, not "with it" cant quite put my finger on whats wrong. so here,s all the things ive done differently. i made soup again but this time i put peppers in plus a few chilli flakes and paprika. i swapped my hazelnut milk for rice milk coz it had less " added extras...
  6. well ive just got my first email back from a cosmetic company, and it was from e.l.f. which was the last one i emailed. they said they do not use gluten in any of their cosmetics but cant guarantee the lines they are produced on are gluten free. im thinking that means they are pretty much gluten free and they are just throwing out that old line as a precaution...

    hi, i,m about a month in too. already had a rash on face that im hoping will fade being dairy and gluten free.but last week broke out spots all over my bottom!!!! hoping its a detox thing lol.
  8. hi veggiegal, im still struggling with the gluten free cosmetics thing. from reading on here it sounds like its relatively easy to get things in "normal supermarkets" in america. ive only found a range in marks and spencers (australian- cant remember the brand now) but its haircare and bodycare products ( around 8 quid each). ive emailed a few cosmetics...
  9. hi there, welcome to the forum, ive only been here since jan and all my tests were negative - so i decided to go gluten and dairy free. i had brain fog, memory problems, anxiety, dark repetitive thoughts ,excessive bloating,joint pain,skin rashes and acid reflux. straight away i noticed no reflux , a clearer head and no repetitive thoughts.less bloating...

  12. hi tamlush im afraid i cant help you with the results - im pretty new here myself. but just to say welcome and hope you get the answers your looking for. not everyone on here is diagnosed celiac, theres a few of us who are self diagnosed. my results all came back normal- basically all they found was reflux!!! im waiting for allergy tests but they take...
  13. hi zozobell, so same as me then. the cheese butty incident caused me problems 24 hours later. i just got fed up of the time it takes to get answers. im still waiting for allergy tests- i wont be holding my breath!! as for restaurants , i havent tried yet- too scared lol. if im goin out with friends i,ll google the resaurant first and ring ahead i think...
  14. hi again, soz your having a bit of a hard time. it will take a while until you get used to the diet and what you can and cant eat. i suppose being a veggie i was already used to reading ingredients lists and scanning the packet for the "v" symbol so to me im just looking for an extra symbol! . have your doctors told you what happened an if they r gonna...
  15. hi, your symptoms sound a lot like mine. i too was told time and time again there was nothing wrong with me until i was told i had depression and given tablets. i never took them coz i knew if i was depressed it was because there was something wrong with me. 16 years later i finally get the tests and results - all negative!!! ive been here since...
  16. thanks, im off work this week so ive just had a major clear out and clean up of kitchen, so now i can say i am totally gluten and dairy free . that answer helps a lot( i mean that, im not being sarcastic lol) , i guess im just gonna have to try them and see how things go. i did think i wouldnt be able to, or shouldnt be eating them. ive discovered...
  17. hello,, have a question about the labeling of food that seems to be gluten free but has got that "made in a factory that handles"!!! label ... ive seen loads of things that look ok but have this "tag" on the end. are they ok, is the manufacturer just protecting themselves or should i be avoiding them.. i have to say since starting this diet ( even...
  18. thanks for the info , i,ll check them out ta!
  19. hi zozobell, just reread my post - im such a crap conversationalist. i put it down to the "brainfog" lol. how are you doing, have you been diagnosed and have you discovered any fabulous new foods yet .im snacking on cashews at the moment and eating maize tortillas and ive found in tesco,s a packet of dried mango with no additives or extras whatsoever...
  20. i know, soz if ive upset anyone - wasnt intended. i know ive got to get sorted with this. its because ive not got a diagnosis that im kinda saying to myself- do i really need to be doing this. and also coz i dont have the gastro problems as well. its only 2 weeks now so its early on my journey. hope i havent come across as flippant coz i really do think...
  21. hi, im in manchester, my results all came back negative- but im sure im gluten intolerant and ive got a rash on hands that responds to a dairy free diet. so i decided to give the diet a try . im doing ok - its about 2 weeks. im finding it hard though because i havent a diagnosis so im kinda thinking - you dont really need to be doing this. but i know...
  22. crikey i dont poo that much lol id say im more or less every day now but that could be because ive upped my veg and fruit. i was thinking about what happened the other day - i thought id been good with the gluten dairy free thing but remembered id eaten a cheese sandwich for lunch on monday that someone had made me and i didnt like to refuse . could...
  23. thanks, cant imagine what it would be like to have constant D or C. i know i sound like a bit of a wuss , it just coz i dont normally have any bowel problems. well i had the soup for tea again so we,ll see tomorrow if i have any problems lol. :D
  24. right i dont suffer with any gastro problems at all- pretty regular really. so ive tried to be gluten and dairy free, even making my own homemade soup. and this morning had my gluten free cornflakes with rice milk and a teaspoon of sugar with a cup of coffee. it got to about 10.30 at work and i felt the need to use the loo. thought id wait till break...
  25. thanks for that - seems its quite common. my niece is traumatized though
