Interesting as I have checked in my local Morrisons twice recently for Mince Pies and they never have any. I might contact them to complain!

Have you guys been trying out gluten-free mince pies yet? Don't bother with the Tesco ones (very dry and crumbly and not much filling), however the Sainsburys ones I really recommend (good pastry and lots of filling). I will also be making my own this weekend!

Interesting, although looking at photos of nails affected by psoriasis mine look different so not sure if it is that

Hi all, Thanks for your replies, some really helpful information. I had googled it all before but just got very confused! The malnutrition does sound the most likely cause, so I am trying to get to the bottom of what is specifically causing my nails to grow like this. Looking at those links and others it seems zinc and vitamin b3 are both possible causes...

I was wondering if any of you guys have or had ridges on your nails which you think are related to celiac/gluten? For about the last year and a half I have had these horizontal ridges, they are most prominent on my thumbs but also on my other fingernails (and I think my toenails). I believe they are something called Beau's Lines, which occur due to an...

Thanks guys, thats good to know!

I am also finding the same problem! I have only been gluten-free for 6 weeks, however for pretty much my whole life I have always had a big appetite and eaten way more than normal for my size. A former boss used to say I eat like a truck driver - I was always hungry and would stuff my face but managed to stay slim - I always put it down to high metabolism...

Wow I know who to ask when it comes to gluten-free cakes and sweet treats! ? I did have some gluten-free hot cross buns over easter which were pretty good, one lot were from ASDA and the other I can't remember the name but I bought in Morrisons (not their brand, they don't seem to sell much which is Morrisons branded). The thing that I will miss is...

Hi, no problem! It was the biopsies and as far as I am aware that is normally the case unless you have severe atrophy. Before I went I thought they could tell on the day but the doctor carrying out the procedure said most of the time they can't see. I asked him after if he thought it was celiac and he said "It looks like it probably is but if I hadn't known...

I will check out that other post, good to connect with others in the UK!

Thanks thats good to know, I did think some of what Coeliac UK said seemed to contrast with actual celiacs and their experiences. I am definitely going to stay on the stricter side. I have their food guide in printed form and the app, but to be honest I have just been checking the ingredients of whatever I buy, like we discussed my other post if it mentions...

I has my endoscopy about 6 weeks ago, I didn't make a particular effort to eat more gluten the day before, just the same as what I had been eating, and my biopsy was positive for (partial) villous atrophy, so if its there it will show up.

Hi Ennis, thanks for the reply. I don't think they have changed the ingredients, as far as I know the barley malt vinegar has always been there, and the Coeliac UK list is pretty up to date I believe. Its weird as Coeliac Uk actually say on their website that barley malt vinegar is ok! I will give it a miss if this is what others do, best not to take the...

Thanks Cristiana, I will have a look at local nutrionalists (the search function doesnt seem to be working at the moment). Hopefully I'll get to see an NHS dietician soon so I can then know what else I need to see someone about. I don't have anyone in my family with colon cancer so will see what the GP says. I am not too worried about it down there, but...

Thanks Gemini, I will have to check out the sandwiches at Starbucks and Neros some time. I thought Costa also did some but haven't spotted them in any of their stores. I have heard about Beyond Bread, its in the Coeliac UK accredited list, I definitely will be heading there to try out their cakes and their toasted sandwiches look great too! Let me know...
