    I'm someone that cut out gluten prior to suspecting it as a problem and I really wish I'd had the benefit of the advice Karen gave above. Once you've cut it out it becomes much harder to get a diagnosis. It may not be what you wanted to hear, but it's very good advice. I know what its like to be surrounded by food that you can no longer eat. However...

    I'm currently eating within a gluten packed household and whilst I understand your frustration, I know completely where your wife is coming from. It's only once you've eliminated gluten from your diet that you realise quite what an impact it has on you and what's more, it seems like the less you consume the more sensitive you are to smaller and smaller amounts...

    I drink cider now. It's probably even more suited to a summers day than a lager. I love beer, lager, ale, stout etc and of course I miss it, but feeling better is far more important to me. The bonus is that what I thought was a hangover was actually 70% glutening so I feel a lot better the day after as well! I have bought a couple of gluten free beers to...

    Sue, I cut gluten out and then found when I reintroduced it the effects were much worse than before. Just 6 days back on gluten pre a blood test left me feeling awful. The test was negative, Iwish I could go back and have had the test before I cut the gluten out.

    Your post struck a chord, I feel like I'm in almost exactly the same situation, aside from the pregnancy of course! I can't offer any advice as I'm still struggling with the same question. I can see pro's and cons on both sides, even if I'm beginning to lean towards simply self diagnosing and getting on with my life, but I wish you and your family well...

    I also had the worry that this was all in my mind. However a few weeks ago I reacted very strongly to something which I believed had no gluten in it. When I reacted and investigated it turned out that a seasoning mix had been used which had gluten. It's not 100% proof of course, but it did reinforce what I'd already been thinking. I'd be prepared...

    Thank you for your replies NoGlutenCooties, you're quite right. It's because I've established to my own satisfaction that I don't get on with gluten that I think I'll be quite happy to stay on the gluten free diet regardless of diagnosis. So the only real gains I can see are that of certainty, perhaps identifying other risk factors and help in persuading...

    Hi all, I'd really appreciate any advice members could offer. I've realised only recently that a lot of different symptoms that I've experienced over 20 years or more may be connected. In January, following a period of ill health I changed my diet, conforming to a large extent to the 'paleo' lifestyle, with no processed foods or grains. Although...
