@Gemini - thanks. This makes a lot of sense! There is only me and my boyfriend in the house and he's a chef who is VERY aware of CC and conscious of it both at home or if I (rarely) eat at the restaurant. It's baffling both of us and with my skin being so bad as well, I'm just generally worried. The doc didn't mention that, but then again I guess...

Hi Sorry should have explained more - I was diagnosed earlier this year with celiacs and then was told by my doctor to try cutting out dairy as there has been no improvement in my symptoms since being gluten free. I haven't been tested for anything bacteria-wise as far as I'm aware. I did wonder about also having IBS - I know my dad had stomach...

Aww I feel for you! I just cope by knowing how awful I'll feel if I eat one. Sad, but true. How long have you been diagnosed? It just gets easier with time I guess - I think eventually you learn to associate certain foods with bad experiences and believe me, they're not half so appealing then! H

Hi I have a question regarding symptoms I'm experiencing and wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar. I've had constant diarrhea now for months. Literally months - each time I go to the bathroom its undigested food. Also whenever I eat I have an immediate urge to go and can't ignore it. This isn't necessarily after a meal, it could...

Tonight: gluten free smoked salmon and dill soufflee with a side of blanched asparagus

I didn't think of those - thanks. Yep I'm still in the process of trying to replace everything. Considering how sensitive my stomach is at the moment, it's quite difficult to know what the problem is as most things seem to be due to the extent of the damage I've done. The doc said I'll probably never have kids which is a bit sad and has got me down the...

Thanks that's really helpful Yep I'm really tired of feeling constantly fatigued at the moment, all I can put it down to is not getting enough/the right mix of vitamins and also traces of soy in things that I'm not aware of. I didn't know about the lecithin so that's one to look out for. For now I'm on the 'eat as plain and boringly as possible' diet...

Hi I joined - I'm in Yorkshire in the UK I was diagnosed 8 months ago whilst I was away in NZ. I also can't eat dairy or soya which is giving me a bit of trouble finding things. I've just come back from being overseas so getting used to the UK supermarket choices (I ate gluten-containing foods before). Shame about the food fair - how silly for them...

Hi I was diagnosed celiac 8 months ago, but have been accidentally getting sick - I think mainly due to cross contamination as my boyfriend is a chef and sometimes brings things home, and eats a lot of things in the house containing gluten. Our kitchen is really small so it's hard to be 100%. Yesterday I saw my doctor as I keep being ill with lethargy...

Hi and welcome - I'm new too I was diagnosed 8 months ago in New Zealand and had an endoscope and also the blood panels - also had a colonoscopy as nobody knew what was going on. All good fun (not!!). I hope you get some answers as I know the symptoms are not very nice and make day to day living challenging at times. Are you eating normally at...

Wow that sounds awful... you have my every sympathy! As for your friend.... well, lets just say if they were in the same position they'd probably think twice before being so mean as to not talk to you or contact you afterwards. I had something similar at a restaurant - I had a steak with a peppercorn sauce and they assured me it was 100% gluten free....

Hi My name is Heather and I'm 27 years old, living in the UK. I was formally diagnosed with Celiacs 8 months ago, although have been having big problems for a number of years now, starting from post-puberty. I had a few years of not eating anything containing gluten aged 18-20 but then started eating gluten again as doctors thought I was wasting their...
