    Some general advice. Don't assume they've read all your notes/are completely up to date with where you're at. Have a note / printout of your symptoms in bullet form as you listed above. Have dates of when you went gluten free and any changes you've noted since. Be prepared to answer questions about your diet and lifestyle. Quite a few are things I...

    Never been there but just looked at their gluten free menu online and am impressed. I tend to make my own burgers now and cook them separately when bbq season arrives. There's a Gourmet Burger not too far away however so I will give them a try. Funnily enough although I'm probably coming over all: its actually savoury things which I miss more...

    Ah to hell with it. Most of the time these days I'm super good. I have so few vices now. I don't drink, smoke, explore the cosmic depths within my soul via chemical enhancements or eat fast food. God I'm boring. The way I look at it the odd frozen gateaux or cheesecake is owed to me for all this forbearance. Besides we have an excuse for slipping...

    I used to love the doughnuts filled with custard. Hey who am I kidding, I loved the ones with jam and the iced ones and the ones on their own too but yeah, I could manage a custard doughnut... Still given I polished off the gateau the other day and had a lovely pannacotta the day before its probably just as well that I can't get my hands on one!

    No and now I miss them too thanks for sharing Tesco used to: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=290037330 but I dont remember seeing them.

    Good to hear this. Keep looking after yourself, eating well and get that last 30% or more back next!

    Yeah the toblerone cake is nice too. Now, Fanfare.... https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=295327675 I was super excited to see this It tasted good too. Super indulgent and very nice to know there's another option for a frozen dessert to go alongside the cheesecake. Well done Tesco...

    I didn't tolerate quinoa well last time I had it: http://www.livestrong.com/article/444005-reactions-to-quinoa/

    Welcome Sarah! I hope you find this site as useful and supportive as I have. I was still finding improvements many months into the gluten free diet. As others have said the neuro symptoms seemed to take a little longer, although the fog lifted quickly. I get occasional twinges which I put down to possible cross contamination.At one month you probably...

    Hi and welcome There's no real way to know exactly what triggers celiac to become active. Some report it after stress, for some pregnancy seems to trigger it. For others there's no cause as such, it just develops over time. As it has a genetic component the truth is that you've always had the capacity to develop it, so I wouldn't waste any time kicking...

    That Daim chocolate cake is on offer in Tescos at the moment. I really like it.

    Thans for posting that, it included a link to this article from Kevin Seplowitz which Scott published on this site: https://www.celiac.com/articles/798/1/A-Word-on-Gluten-and-Beer/Page1.html It's over 10 yrs old so things may have changed but it makes interesting reading:

    Welcome to the forum! ? You may not get a response from the original poster as it was 5 years ago. But I hope you find this site as helpful as I have. All the best...

    It's seemingly not unusual to find some people who either make up their own rules or decide that they don't apply to them. A diagnosed celiac I spoke to prior to my endoscopy surprised me by ordering a regular lager. He said it was ok for him as his 'stomach had healed'... Well that approach is not for me, even if I were still drinking (I'm on an extended...

    I like Costco but am in uk so our Costco products may differ, but I've found coconut flour, gf 'chips' pasta and more. There was a brownie mix which was pretty good if like me your a bit lazy when it comes to baking. The lines seem to vary here so you need to get it before it's gone. In the refrigerated sections there are some nice falafel and spicy...

    Well I considered it but I finally came to terms with not having definitive answers and decided to get on with getting on. I said my piece above about the cost / benefit to continued research and getting some help in coming to terms with the psychological impact. I think that's an area that would give you a much greater boost but that's your call. All the...

    One of the strangest things I found after going gluten free was that hangovers were a breeze! I used to have horrendous hangovers but could pour cider down all night and the next day was a walk in the park! Cyrex labs in the States were offering testing, you may be able to get a referral if you're willing to pay? It was something I considered when...

    When on desktop highlight the text and within a second or so the quote this button above, lot easier. Mobile is a bit fiddlier granted. However your point is moot, it's the choice of passage I was referring to and maybe it was subconscious but my point remains. You didn't address the positive in your own comments afterwards either. Ok: As...

    Against my better judgement I'll reply To be honest I wish I could speak to you in person because there's a limit to how effective communication over a forum can be and from what I've read you are almost exactly where I was not so long ago. Let me say that I think you're clearly extremely bright and have amassed knowledge on this. I also think however...

    Ok, I don't want to play amateur psychologist and I fully respect your decision, so this will be my last contribution to the thread, but when you say this: it suggests that you don't have a good handle on what counselling actually is. Neither they nor indeed you can change the facts of celiac, but they may be able to help change the way that you look...

    Egs I think you should reconsider your attitude to seeing a counsellor. If for no other reason than that you're currently in the early stages of the grief process, although you may not see it as such. Just from reading your posts I can recognise a lot of the thought processes and attitudes I went through on discovering gluten was a problem and although it...

    Next time someone comes on asking about gluten induced insomnia you know where to point them:)

    Interesting. Hadn't heard of the trigeminal nerve before. I got regular twitching, like a trapped nerve on my face. That stopped after going gluten-free. Another one of those things I never connected till later, I was falling apart but in a state of denial as it turned out! I now think opticians may not have the experience of this sort of stuff, certainly...

    I get these weird grey patches on my vision. The other day it was like my entire vision was greyed out in my right eye with the exception of a small 'hole' in the right hand side, which I could see through. That was more extreme, sometimes its just a patch which is obscured. It's a freaky and frankly unpleasant experience although it never lasts too...

    I shall scour my local tescos and report back... On my last trip I got the last gluten-free xmas pudding and thus saved Christmas, so I'm on something of a roll, gluten free of course. I know what you mean about the oats, after I started the diet I could notice when I'd had them and thought I'd have to exclude them altogether. I did exclude almost all...
