  1. Hi Cristiana I've found I have a mixture of responses. I get 'early warnings' which are neurological, a trapped nerve, muscle twitches, greyed out vision, which I think can come from even small amounts of cross contamination. These are within hours. The sneezing, eye watering and shortness of breath I'm now primarily associating with either milk...
  2. Hi moleface and welcome! I found your posts a tough read because I felt like I could've written them myself. I was raised to think of the doctor as all knowing and it's only through painful experience that I've taken them down from that childish pedestal and look at them dispassionately as either good, (rare) bad, (less rare) or mediocre (most of them...
  3. Welcome Consider starting a new thread as more people will see your post and may be able to offer some help. Best, Matt
  4. Welcome Demetria77 and no you're not alone! There are people here who have gone through similar experiences and came through the other side stronger, healthier and happier. Things may seem bleak now but that doesn't mean they won't soon improve, that's what life is like sometimes. I was a little unclear about what happened to you here: ...
  5. Sorry the NCF can't help! Couple of things that struck me reading your account Jamie. Obviously finding a doctor who has the relevant expertise is key, but maybe there's some things you can do in the meantime. For instance: Maybe some of the difficulties in digestion could be explained by an imbalance in your biome? Have you looked into probiotics...
  6. Jamie here's the contact details for the Norwegian Celiac Foundation: Open Original Shared Link They have volunteers across different regions of Norway. Hopefully they can help you find an experienced Celiac practitioner. Best of luck! Matt
  7. Welcome You may want to look at the AIP diet as there's some compelling evidence it can help people recover foods that they've become intolerant too.
  8. GI diet is just about trying to control your blood sugar and stop the cycle of it spiking and crashing. When the sugar levels rise insulin is deployed which then results in the formation of fat. http://www.gidiet.com/ You try and switch from foods in the index to lower ones. That stops the spiking and should be both healthier and help you lose weight as well...
  9. Everything I've read says switching to the artificial sweeteners doesn't work. Definitely drop the diet soda, drink plenty of water so you're less likely to reach for it. How about trying to change your tastes somewhat. Get some dark chocolate and when you get the urge for the Hersheys try nibbling a tiny square of that instead. It's a much deeper taste...
  10. A lot of this depends on your own reactions. As a very general rule, spices should be fine, 'seasoning' take care! A spice is a single element, it's just turmeric, or oregano etc. A seasoning mix is a blend of different things and that's when gluten may sneak in. Marshmallows are mainly glucose syrup and should be fine. Obviously if they're covered...
  11. Saw this the other day: http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/22/a-full-belly-without-breaking-the-bank-8-of-the-best-cheap-gluten-free-eats-in-london-7247612/ While since I've been in the smoke, but it may be useful for you lily livered southern types
  12. Ah I've googled it, as you guessed I was thinking of chilli con carne, this is something different! Sorry I can't be of help. ps, no offence, am sure it's lovely but I did find this hilarious: https://deadspin.com/the-great-american-menu-foods-of-the-states-ranked-an-1349137024
  13. I'm from the UK so I can't help you on the recommendation, but instead of canned chili have you tried making your own? It's super easy to do, far nicer and cheaper than any pre-made variety and you can make a big batch and freeze small portions so its always available if you need a quick filling meal? There's no reason a chili should include gluten...
  14. Hi Serafina, I found your post fascinating. I've often thought of pursuing a meeting with Professor Hadjivassilou, you may be interested in the article by him I posted above in my first reply. It's one of the best overviews I've found of gluten's effect on the brain. One thing which struck me was this: Despite being gluten-free for a few...
  15. I'm sorry I can't put a time on it - that whole period was overwhelming, I did keep a diary during my challenge but didn't continue it post going back to gluten-free. I also was still discovering back then that some of these things were gluten related. So it was only months later when I realised I'd not had eyesight issues for awhile, or that the twitch under...
