  1. Is it these by any chance? http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/cadbury-dairy-milk-christmas-chocolate-chunks-166g/p/48609 checked the ingredients, like you say look safe. I just need to wait till next Christmas. Doh!
  2. Oh yes. I've gradually moved more towards dark chocolate as I've got older, I like the Moser Roth from Aldi for instance: https://www.aldi.co.uk/p/63574/0 and tell myself its in some way healthier... But every so often I'll get a craving for old school British milk chocolate, cadburys, galaxy or even a raisin and biscuit yorkie. From Cadburys I still...
  3. Lots in the same boat sadly. Ignorance of this is high in UK medical establishment, certainly at GP level. I got wrong information, repeatedly...
  4. Couple of new treats for UK coeliacs and gluten-free people Gluten Free Berry Christmas Cheesecake - Tesco - I am on my 3rd already! Cheesecake how I remember it More listed here: http://glutenfreecuppatea.co.uk/2015/11/15/what-gluten-free-christmas-products-are-tesco-selling-this-year/ M&S also do a small new york cheesecake which I loved. http...
  5. This had reminded me of this site: http://gluteninbeer.blogspot.co.uk/ where someone is actually testing different beers to find out their gluten content. You can see from the list about halfway down the page how different beers vary. Not many craft beers amongst them though. If the chills persist meanwhile consider a leather jacket...
  6. Hi Nalazoo and welcome! I found your post fascinating. Thanks for posting it, there's a chance it could help someone else trying to put their own jigsaw together at some point in the future. For me, I had yet another 'aha' moment when you mentioned ear wax. I used to produce loads of brown wax, after gluten went it did as well. Until today I never...
  7. Hi, welcome, and Bad Kitty for drinking that beer Some beers have a higher gluten content than others. I've seen some say that they could drink a corona for instance which is lower than some. There's no way I'd do this however. There's plenty of gluten-free options available if you want a beer, or go for cider instead which is a better bet imo. ...
  8. Absolutely, somewhere on pubmed there's a paper detailing how airborne gluten irritates the sensitive cloud layers producing the same endless downpour of a reaction that I'm currently experiencing sat in a caravan in north Wales. Meanwhile, in tin hat land, an alternative hypothesis is forming, that gluten sensitivity itself causes rain, flooding, the loss...
  9. I know you've tested negative for Celiac, but have you given the gluten free diet a try anyway? I tested negative, but my skin improved markedly once gluten-free. The other big dietary influence on skin for me at least is dairy. Keeping a food diary and excluding those may help you exclude them as factors?
  10. Another Brit here. As above, I've found this a fantastic site for both information and support. I've learned a lot about odd symptoms which I would never have thought to attribute to gluten from here. It's so helpful because even now I find it bizarre that I could've spent so long, with so many different symptoms without realising they were in any way related...
  11. That sucks Sorry you're having to cope with such a restricted diet. When I make a shake I use coconut milk. Not sure if that would be allowed on your current diet, but it makes a really nice smoothie base I mix with Spinach, Ginger, Cinnamon and a banana, I think the ripe bananas are ok on fodmap diet?
  12. It's on the safe list here in the uk and I eat it without a problem. theres also a really nice almondy toblerone cake available now.
  13. Hello Admin!

    I don't know whether this is of interest to post on your articles feed:

      Thanks Karen I hadn't realised that was an option :)

       

  14. I've found myself choosing simpler drinks and food since I went gluten-free. The fewer variables the less chances for something like this. Even so there seems to be so many ways you can get glutened. A soy latte is about as adventurous as I get now and as my palate changes the starbucks one of those seems too sweet. I had heard the chocolate sprinkles...
  15. Yes! Yes! This one isn't quite as clear cut. You can't say that you've been diagnosed celiac because you've not given the medical community it's chance to diagnose. That said, it's only a white lie if you're saying it to ensure someone takes proper precautions when preparing your meal. My endoscopy for example, was negative for celiac...
  16. There are dozens of paleo sites you can check out for recipes and ideas. You may also want to take a look at the GI: http://www.the-gi-diet.org/ It's based on foods which take longer to digest and don't spike your blood sugar and set off a vicious circle of sugar, insulin and fat. If you get it right your grazing drops dramatically. You stay...
  17. Thanks for all the replies. I don't think my rash is DH, am leaning towards folliculitis!
  18. Very interesting. Useful to me as although I've established a negative reaction to gluten I'm currently in pursuit of a diagnosis, this will help me stay on the gluten free diet if I wind up with a NCGI diagnosis.
  19. I'm not sure either, but it did improve when I removed gluten from my diet.
  20. Hi. I'm currently undiagnosed and wondering whether I have DH and if this could help me reach a diagnosis. For about 17 years I've had occasional outbreaks of a rash on my chest. There are occasionally pus filled sores and it gets really itchy. It never seems to go beyond my chest but occasionally I'll get one or two sores on my back or crotch. It's not...
