You may be intolerant to some other foods in addition to having celiac. You could see a dietician to assess for FODMAP intolerances. These are types of carbohydrates that are in foods and which can cause reactions such as bloating in some people.

Welcome to the forum rpatchett. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Your hair basically shows your health/nutrition status from three months prior*, so it can become worse even after switching to a gluten free diet. Now obviously you've been gluten free much longer than 3 months, but considering that it can take a while for the body to recover from coeliac damage and start correctly absorbing nutrients, perhaps your body...

It will also tell you the likelihood of you having celiac by percentage (or at least my test did).

I have reactive hypoglycemia, which was discovered when I too lost consciousness and had massive convulsions due to low blood glucose -- despite having a good meal three hours beforehand. You'll need to increase your intake of healthy fats, not just cut carbs and increase your protein, in order to get an adequate amount of calories. It was eating insufficient...

My favourite tip has to do with gluten free bread. It can sometimes taste a little dry or stale, and doesn't seem to keep as well as regular bread. If you dab/flick the smallest amount of water (literally a drop of two, don't overdo it!) onto each slice, wrap them up in paper towel, and microwave for 10 seconds or so you get lovely fresh bread again. Game...

Hi and welcome! I'm from Sydney, not coeliac but with a pretty severe intolerance. I think recovery looks different on everyone: some who have fatigue feel better immediately, for others it takes more time, some unfortunately feel worse temporarily. You might be better off asking that particular question in the recovery or coping sub-forums since it's not...

Yup! I had it with Hungarian Goulash. I thought it was good. :-)

I think you'll find that what it comes down to -- not that they'd probably admit it -- is being able to pump out more of their nut-free, oat-based muesli bars to cater for the growing demand for nut-free packaged snacks brought about by schools with nut-free policies. It is a whole lot cheaper and easier to procure large amounts of regular oats and not do...

Friends, today is a sad day. For some of us, anyway. See I am one of those rare creatures who was able to consume Freedom Foods Free Oats, which test under 3ppm for gluten as found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale. In other words, I can have "oat gluten" (avenin) so long as it's not cross-contaminated with the other forms of gluten. I noticed that the...

I haven't flown with Singapore Airlines, just Qantas, but a Google search for "Singapore Airlines AND gluten free" got a number of hits. Here's one one them from March 2013, so not tooooo long ago: Open Original Shared Link

Wowsa, that's a lot of product for $28! I haven't been since I'm not all that keen for a lot of the stuff they were advertising, but mocha cake mix sounds amazing! I might go check it out just for that, though I imagine there probably isn't much left by now. Thanks for reporting back!

I haven't, what is it? Google brings back hits for Fly In Fly Out mining jobs?!

I'm glad to hear that you will be seeing an endocrinologist. I'm unfamiliar with Lo loestrin or running pill packets together, as I'm assuming you're doing. However, given that birth control pills containing estrogen are sometimes used in the treatment of osteopenia/osteoporosis, I think it is unlikely to be impairing on your bone health. Estrogen helps...
