    Don't worry you will know when you've been glutened! Ive been gluten-free since November now and although I am generally fine with the food I have cooked myself, I still keep glutening myself with things I think should be gluten free but turn out not to be. My last one was from a glass of fruit juice... First think I get is a burning sensation in my tummy...

    Thanks so much for your reassurance- This is precisely what I am doing, I'm not doing any more challenges just for their sake... I am actually quite tired of the doctors' s lack of imagination and insensitivity ...

    I think I am one of those people squirmingitch describes- I am still a half diagnosed celiac... I have already posted in other threads about my case, please excuse me if I am repeating myself.... After havering been on a gluten challenge for 8 weeks I went for an endoscopy, and the endoscopist saw mild scallopings in my intestine and said I was celiac- however...

    Hi Katie, Together with my gastric, joint, foggy, etc issues, I also get this burning, itchy painful rash around my body. I get it at the back on my to thigh towards the buttocks, around my neck, scull - the first thing is also this horrendous burning sensation, where the first thought is - I want to cut my leg/ head/ neck off to be free of this sensation...

    I am glad to hear there is still hope for the three bits of hair I have left... I'll be looking forward to having a full main again! Lol

    No, it's the mysteries of predictive text.... Also if you type in different languages and forget to change the keyboard... Absolute chaos ensues.... But it's quite funny! We should never lose our sense of humor!

    Ah, I am glad you like them- so easy, so quick to make and a great fix! And no tummy ache!! I make up a batch and put them in an airtight container, take them to work, to a friend's house....

    Thanks for the recipe, I will try making them as soon as I can!! I am not generally one for cakes, etc - but cup-cakes, that's a completely different issue!! and I also miss them....

    Ha, ha, ha, cheers to you!!

    No need ladies, here it is converted to imperial measurements.... ( according to my husbands grannie 's old scales) Approximately: 18 ounces of flour 6 ounces of butter 9 ounces of sugar 6 eggs 2 tablets of chocolate ( one swig of whisky for the cold...) I was bragging yesterday about how mild it had been here, it is ansolutely freeeeezzzinng...

    Again, what a good idea the cardboard box is...!! I am also learning.. But I still keep glutening myself accidentally- my last one happened two days ago with a fruit juice of all things - Capri Sun ( I am not sure if they have it in America- I'm in Europe and here it is popular in several countries) . And don't do what I do: assume something should be gluten...

    Hi CK1223 I am also in UK, and I completely sympathise with you- I also have a GP who prescribes paracetamol for anything and wait and see.... Don't want to discourage you, but you still have a while to go.... Best of luck and I'll be thinking of you!

    Hi you can buy gluten-free foods in Spain in most ordinary supermarkets- especially the one called MERCADONA who's owner' daughter is also celiac and made sure that for every gluten full item you can find the corresponding gluten-free nearby... You can also find a variety gluten-free products in Health food shops, they are called " tiendas de dietética" ...

    Not sure how Fahrenheit works... But it sounds cold... We're having a most mild winter.... It rains a lot and it's often very windy down from the Highlands, but it is not as cold as it should be- this means that it will probably snow in April- May !!
  15. MGR
    Also some types of bacon, or cooked ham sometimes have hidden gluten among their ingredients- you have to try to get the most natural kinds of these. For breakfast I tend to have fruit and a bowl of natural yoghourt with maple syrup, coffee or tea..

    Flue, gluten, not the best combination - poor thing! Hope you get better soon!

    Dear heymom45, Here is a fab recipe for gluten-free brownies from Scotland to cheer you up... If I was were you are I would bring them round to yours personally!! 500g ground almond flower 6 eggs 250g sugar 150g melted butter Two bars of dark (70% upwards) gluten-free chocolate melted in a container on top of boiling water Beat the eggs and mix...

    Oh, I am so grateful you all of you who took the time to answer my plea, this would explain a lot, Shellie.. As I mentioned above, the endoscopist saw scallopings ( even though mild, but they are still there) .... I will have to make a fuss about my skin rash the next time I see the doctor. In the meantime I feel soo much better gluten free. Because I...

    Absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers to you!!!
  20. MGR
    Thanks, very much for the info, I thought I had also read something about negative results for individuals with DH, but wasn't certain... Yes, my uncle has been diagnosed- I don't think I will have a biopsy because I would have to eat gluten for them to appear .... I've already done one gluten challenge, I am not doing a second one! I will just wait for the...

    Thanks to the flower compliments, my daughter made it for me.... Unfortunately, how the system works in Scotland, it is highly unlikely I will meet this endoscopist again as one never meets the same person twice, sometimes it is a good thing but at other times it is not... I will just have to nag the one I get the next time..
  22. MGR
    I know, it is very clear to me that there is something going on with gluten- I feel soo much better without it, i am still learning as I keep glutening myself accidentally and immediately the symptoms appear...
  23. MGR
    As regards to the DH no, it has never been diagnosed formally - I just started getting the burning, yellowish/ red rush that looks like watery bubbles on the back of my legs, sometimes around and inside and around my genital area, other times around my scull since I've had my first daughter- I always assumed it was some sort of odd looking chicken pocks...

    Hi lovely people, I have been a member of this forum for a while now, but I have never really introduced myself!! I have had symptoms of various kinds nearly all my life, but I thought that this just how I am! Being constantly tired, etc is part of my personality. I am in Scotland and here the knowledge about celiac is not much better as in many places...

    Here is the link from the UK NHS-site where it mentions that individuals with type 1 diabetes and Ulcerative are at a higher risk of developing celiac disease, hope this helps? : Open Original Shared Link
