    Hi flowerqueen. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply ... I find the UK system quite odd as my celiac friends have all had different follow ups. One has barely seen a a doctor, just a nutritionalist, two of them have had tests just tracking the Celiac numbers. Why am I the only one having Liver Function Tests/Liver Enzyme Tests? It makes me...

    Having read this forum for a while I have come to understand that Celiacs often have odd blood results, which quite often, although not always, normalise after the adoption of a gluten-free diet. In my own case before diagnosis I had abnormally low blood iron, borderline B12 and slightly elevated total blood protein (globulins were responsible for this...

    I have a feeling that the very high percentage cocoa bars might be gluten free but make sure you check the labels. But those aren't the ones I really like, the Lindor chocolate is what sets it apart from the others....

    Those look just right. I don't see that they sell them in the UK yet but usually good ideas catch on fast! Thanks so much.

    Anyone know a chocolate manufacturer that actually does a good gluten-free impersonation of Lindt Lindor bonbons with that melty chocolate inside? I haven't found one yet.

    Me too. Lindt, are you listening? Can you use something else?! Please!

    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...
