    Hello Obviously if you've had a scope you've been down the diagnostic road a stretch so forgive me saying, if you think there's any chance your Doctor will want further blood tests then hold off on going gluten-free! It just makes the diagnostic process so difficult. Particularly as if gluten is a problem for you, it can be much more of a problem if...

    They look good, am not conscious of having seen them so far. I usually get the incredibly cheap everyday essentials Aldi tortilla chips. They're not marked gluten free but they were in the coeliac UK guide and dont give me any problems. I can get a pot of salsa and the tortillas for less than a bag of doritos. Incidentally aldi now selling rice...

    Yes I felt the same way when I discovered a fish and chip shop on Anglessey that had gone completely gluten-free. I could just order and eat, no explanations, no worries... Seeing the Isle of Wight on that link has sent me right back to childhood memories, Shanklin, The Needles, Blackang Chine, Coloured sand from Alum bay! Happy days!

    Is that the chunky one? I really like it. Like you say it's really tasty. I often have it with an egg as a quick meal, but I could well see it as a pasta sauce or pizza spread base.

    Here's an interesting article my sister sent me about gluten free items being cheaper in the 'normal' aisles than in the free from section: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/deals-hunter/2017/05/23/gluten-or-wheat-free-find-hidden-bargains-instead/?utm_source=MSE_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=31-May-17-16788361&utm_campaign=nt...

    Hello and welcome You've replied to an old thread, it may be better if you could repost as a new thread in this section: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/13-celiac-disease-pre-diagnosis-testing-amp-symptoms/ as more people will see it! Maybe a mod will move it (hint hint!) They're unlikely to have ran a celiac blood test. That's what you need...

    Sadly you've not received good advice from your doctor. The stats show the majority of celiacs do not present with primarily intestinal issues. This makes it simple. If you're not pursuing a diagnosis you need to proceed as if you have one. You need to adjust, both practically and emotionally, to being fully 100% gluten free permanently. It's about...

    It sucks when you've taken precautions and they don't pan out. Take heart however, although it feels like you're back to square one but one exposure doesn't negate all the healing that you've gone through. Eat simply and safely for now and get back on track. You should feel better soon. As for eating out, it's the same as when you learned to ride a bike...

    I'm in the UK so I doubt many of the brands I would choose would be available to you. I have had the Kirkland (Costco) coffee without a problem and it's excellent value.

    I drink a fair amount of coffee, 90% of which is decaffeinated. I take it black and unsweetened. Occasionally I will get a churning stomach from one brand, but I don't put that down to gluten but to coffee's natural effect on the gut. I guess if I were looking to improve my diet I'd look at cutting down or cutting completely, but hell, I've not got...

    Coeliac UK occasionally strike a controversial note. I often saw arguments online about recommendations. I think they're generally guided by the prevailing science. My barley malt story is that I joined CUK and the guide became my Bible in the first months on the diet. One item on there was Aldi cornflakes, I like Aldi and some months later I saw them...

    So the coeliac gluten free week is almost upon us. The latest Aldi catalog has some gluten free stuff, but it's not on the shelves yet. There's bread mixes, gluten-free beer, some ilumi ready meals, which are very handy to have in the cupboard: http://www.ilumiworld.com/shop/meals.html and some dessert bars that I've not seen before. There's also some of...

    That's exceedingly gutting I didn't like bakewell cake before, almonds weren't my thing. Now I'm much less fussy. The french fancy's were retaliation for the great doughnut debacle of several posts ago. Now we're even

    Just sprinkle iron filings on them The Angel slice suggestion reminds me, Also spotted on my recon my first sighting of mr Kipling's gluten free cherry bake well tarts and a bake well loaf. I only pray that mr Kipling , possibly the busiest baker in the history of the world, will deign to deglutenise his exceedingly good French fancies as I am suddenly...

    Tesco have some gluten free offers, see photograph for more. If I had to guess I'd say they're out in advance of Coeliac UK's gluten free awareness week which promises a gluten freevolution...Needless to say I will be at the barricades urging the downfall of the gluten bakeries and the coming of the new glorious gluten free order. Until then I will be...

    I didn't read that far. Yikes... A hefty dose of perspective in that one. For anyone reading this is the post:

    There's a great post by Tarnalberry in that thread.

    Hi Jennifer and welcome CyclingLady has given you some good advice above. You want certainty and that's entirely understandable. Go back to your doctors and explain that you need to know a little more and hopefully they will engage positively with you. If they don't, then do pursue a second opinion. I just wanted to address your last paragraph...

    I never could get into marmite in the days of gluten past. Our antipodean friends failed to sell the delights of vegemite when I lived there either. But now, starved of variety and intrigued by the B vitamins and Iron I'm almost tempted to give this a shot. Have you tried it yet?

    Applying Occam's razor, could the diarrhea simply be related to the diet change and thus separate from the rib pain?

    And the people that put wheat in Walkers crips ready salted will be first against the wall... Reading the lindt section they have that ambiguity on barley malt extract from coeliac uk. That winds me up, I got ill from barley malt in cereal in part because coeliac uk were so relaxed about it. I was eating harvest morn corn flakes with barley malt because...

    I saw a giant dairy milk bar on the supermarket conveyor belt the other day. I wanted it sooo bad I didn't get any eggs in the end, bar a creme egg, do they count? It is indeed In the past they've also published an ice cream list as summer arrives, doesn't seem to be available now though. Maybe I should rejoin for a year to get some up to date...

    Happy Easter! This is the special time of year when we celebrate the divinity of chocolate. coeliac uk have posted a safe list of eggs etc link is on this page: https://www.coeliac.org.uk/gluten-free-diet-and-lifestyle/food-shopping/easter-treats/ Nom nom!

    Certainly your allergy symptoms are suggestive of other things going on. I have high IGE, suffered from asthma and hay fever and I sneeze when I'm in the baking section of stores. I think that's either defensive to stop wheat ingestion or its my body telling me to move on and leave the doughnuts be but regardless it's a different immune reaction that hasn...

    It's good to hear of a positive appointment Emma It looks like you may be able to add to your auto immune poker hand Reading your symptoms some of them like palpitations for instance resolved for me on the diet. Which made me think that: may also have a refractory celiac element even if the levels are going down? https://glutenintoleranceschool...
