    Great news and congratulations. On google search for blueberry bliss energy bar recipe. There's a greatl recipe there for making batches of homemade energy bars. It's quite flexible so if you don't like blueberries swap for other dried fruits or use mixed berries, swap almonds for walnuts etc. I use these as snacks between meals. They are hugely calorific...

    After 5 months being accident free I was 'glutened' last night. Cross contamination I suspect. In the past I accidentally ate gluten on average every 10 days. Reactions were immediate.and strong. This time, 5 months since my last accident, reaction took 14 hours to kick in. Lots of physical issues but mentally: feeling blue, irritable, saying inappropriate...

    I fully agree. My body has been knackered this year. Mentally its been really stressful too - the exacibator as you say. I think there have been a knock on effect (or butterfly effect maybe? ) on my state of mind. Since hearing the results of my endoscopy and biopsy, which I've been waiting for for so long, a weight has lifted and my mood is improving...

    So just got back from the GI consultation. Seems like stress is the culprit for my dh in particular... time to get some councelling done to sort this sh out!

    HI, I'm with Wildwood's husband (I'm in agreement...)! Always been the skinny guy, easily lose weight no matter what or how much I eat and no matter how much excercise I cut out. A few month back I felt a little better and tried to do excercise and weight train, but my body wasn't ready - I couldn't absorb calories/protein to replenish the reserves in...

    Best of luck with your testing. Be prepared to also ask, or be asked, to go through Endoscopy testing - your GP/consultant will possibly want to supplement the blood test results with biospies taken from the gut. To save some time you could request a referral for an endoscopy right away. If your bloods are clear, however, you will certainly have to go...

    I'm in Yorkshire and have found that it depends whether you can find a GP who has knowledge of this disease. I stroll into my GP not knowing what is going on with my body, he suggests Coeliac (spelling it the UK way!); schedules a blood test and sends me on my way 7 days later the bloods are taken and 7 days after that I have the results and am discussing...

    Wow - although its pretty depressing its also very good to hear that you guys also have DH flare ups with stress. I have a fairly intense (at times) occupation and it must be aggravating me. I guess I need a new career in something more soothing Like I say... I got a Dr appointment on Friday so I'll get it mentioned. Thanks again!

    JustCricket, thanks for the reply! And my apologies for not getting back to you. I took a break from work over November in an effort to recuperate from a very trying year and so I haven't been in front of a computer until this week. So butterfly effect is a mistype, sorry - butterfly effect is a dominoe effect type phenomena, not a symptom! I did mean...

    Wow I can relate... 8 months in! This is me right here...

    I had a rash on my face since approximately 4 years ago and prior to going gluten free. A butterfly effect red rash which didn't itch until maybe 2 years with the rash when it suddenly started to get redder and brighter and drier it flaked and itched. It seemed to get really bad after a pie and peas and a pint of lager on my lunch break I've now been...

    Yea I appreciate your perspective and I believe you when you say it helped you. I have experienced tiny contaminations in the past - it really is an unbelievable disease when a grain of flour can hit you for weeks. Large or small though I know when I've ingested gluten. Personally, I've gone at least 6 weeks without eating in a restaurant and seen a deterioration...

    Hi Joy, I read the title, it covers everything I have right now. I had 5 months of gluten free and responded really well. A few hicups here and there, of course. After 5 months I felt great - energy, excercise and happyness all in boat-loads. But then something started happening. Energy decreased, dizzyness here and there losing lots of weight....

    I have just experienced this very thing myself this week... at the start of this thread I said my weight had plateau'd but, inspired by this thread, I decided to see whether I could get a few pounds on. So... I excercised less this week whilst cramming my face with snacks, treats, carbs and larger portions at every opportunity. I have lost weight! Creaking...

    Greenbeanie...I think the explanation is simply that its inflammation. Why it takes soo long to go down... thats just God playing with us.
