Hi everyone. There is a lot in the press here in the UK about prediabetes and diabetes. I am an apple shape, as opposed to a pear, which I gather puts me more at risk. I have a lot of relatives with types 1 and 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed with celiac disease three years ago and the diet has been going so well that I am now putting on weight - I realise...

Hi Anne I am sorry - I have only just read your post of nearly a week ago. You certainly sound as if you have been through the wars. A rotator cuff tear is supposed to be very painful. I wonder if the doctor was referring to costochondritis. I think that is interesting what you are saying about nerves in the neck/spine. I find when I am...

Hi Anne I think it would be a very good idea to see your audiologist. I live in the UK and will always be grateful for the National Health Service but increasingly I feel doctors are under so much pressure we can help them a lot by connecting these dots for them - although some might not welcome it, others do. You could well be onto something as isn...

My nutritionalist told me to say allergy because some people only understand that word. I can't quite bring myself to say it, though! I have never been asked the preference or allergy question myself - yet . I haven't dared eat out for months but now I am again and what I now find myself doing is ordering and then when everyone else has put their...

New To This! Any Celiacs/gluten Free In Uk?
cristiana replied to Emma-jane88's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Welcome to the Forum, Emma! I, too, am British - and there are several of us that use and contribute to this site, although you will notice most contributors are from the States, so I tend to drop the mystery 'o' in the British spelling of Coeliac when I type (and after all this time I am not sure why we include it!) Are you a member of Coeliac... -
Thank you! Lightbulb moment! I share the toothpaste with my family but the other day, by mistake, I used one of my gluten eating children's toothbrushes. Now it may or may not be related but these last two day I have had some awful canker sores develop in my mouth - I had two bad bouts before DX but no recurrences since being gluten-free. Could this...

I was glutened albeit in small amounts twice in the last two weeks. Yesterday I had a potato salad and an iced lolly at the local swimming pool - we don't usually get much hot weather here in England during the summer months so one has to make the most of it! - and I felt queasy within half an hour of eating, really like the bad old days just prior to my...

Mimsy - I must thank you for this. I had not thought that this would generate any more posts so sorry I haven't come back sooner. The incredible thing my brother in law, a doctor of some 20 years standing, has also said he thinks I have had shingles, either the lesion has been overlooked or it was the type without a rash. So I went to my own surgery...

I have had pain and irritation recently and a weird feeling for a couple of months now. It has affected half my back and half my chest. Like you, same side, in my case, just the left. I have been told by one doctor the sensation is probably caused by having had shingles without the rash, i.e. nerve damage – look up Dermatomes, it is interesting. ...

Thanks so much nvsmom - glad you haven't got costochondritis any more! It doesn't sound nice. One doctor thought I could have Tietze syndrome but then said, "I'm not sure that explains the itchiness". I find it so hard dealing with uncertainty as I always imagine the worst. If anyone else has had either condition and found it caused itchiness in their...

I have pain and irritation generating from the left side of my rib cage,under the arm and breast area. Having all sorts of investigations but getting nowhere as doctors can't agree. Does this sound like it could be costochondritis to anyone who has suffered from it as reading stuff on line suggests the pain should come from the sternum, which isn't the...
