    Thanks Liz. I had heard of that test too, but as my recent blood work was negative due to my being on a gluten free diet from March - Sept 06, I figured it's probably not worth trying. So far, I'm thinking that Enterolab might be the best option. I've been in Spain for about 3 years now. Where in Ireland are you from? Yours is the first post that...

    Thanks for the replies I think that I'll give enterolab a try then. Definitely not prepared to continue eating gluten until next April for more blood tests..... Thanks again Lisa

    I haven't officially been diagnosed as yet, but strongly suspect coeliac due to symptoms and family history of the disease. I am 27 and always thought it strange that I had high cholesterol, especially given the fact that I do not eat red meat or eggs and I have been casein intolerant since birth. Due to feeling the cold all the time, hair loss etc, low...

    Hi all, Just to give you some background - due to a family history of gluten intolerance or possibly even undiagnosed celiac disease, I suspected that gluten was the route of my problems, especially given the fact that I have been dairy & soy intolerant since birth. Anyway, I did a 6 month gluten free trial, but unfortunately before I had any of the...

    Hi Ashley, Unfortunately, I'm living in Spain at the moment and suffice to say that things take a little longer here.... Although it's a pain having to wait such a long time, it was my doc that suggested that I be tested - so the flip side is that at least the docs here seem open to the idea that I might have coeliac disease or at least some form of...

    Hi Ashley! Welcome to the board. Your last post is of particular interest to me, because I'm in a very similar situation myself. I've just had the coeliac panel blood tests done and go back mid Nov for the results and to schedule the appointment for my biopsy. The most interesting thing is that I was also treated for latent TB in the past...

    I don't know what ingredients the US gluten free breads contain, but I do know that many of the European brands contain soy of some sort. Being intolerant to soy, gluten free bread also gives me GI problems. You might also want to consider the yeast, which is another thing that I am intolerant too. Eating gluten free bread or any other yeast containing product...

    I used to always have a problem with keeping hunger (& low bllod sugar) at bay until lunch time. Now I have a bowl of gluten free museli, which I make up myself. I normally combine:- Rice flakes Millet flakes Rice puffs linseeds/ flax seeds hazelnuts raisins & other dried fruits The rice flakes are rather hard, so I usually soak a few table...

    Before going gluten free I very rarely got hiccups, however now I get them maybe once a week or at least every other week. The strange this is that I get them while I'm asleep and it wakes me and my boyfriend up in the middle of the night!

    Hi Susan! I'm Irish and as per earlier post supermarkets such as Tesco's carry quite an extensive stock of gluten free products. Also, as Coeliac is quite common in Ireland, most supermarkets (Dunnes Store, Roches, Superquin etc), health food stores & pharmacies stock gluten free products. Tesco's would be my preference though as they also label their...

    That's strange! After going gluten-free I contacted Bombay Sapphire as I was concerned that their products might contain gluten. I received this reply approx. 2 months ago. **************************************************** Many thanks for your query. Bombay gins do not contain cereal nor cereal components as ingredients. Therefore, they can...

    I would love something like that!! Although I have been able to find gluten free pizza bases, I can't find a gluten free, casein free & soy free cheese anywhere. I would also love gluten free, casein free & soy free chocolate!

    I'm not sure about the US stores, but here isn't not in the chilled section. It's just with the other health foods.

    Yep, def like the nut flavour. Also, living in Spain I'm a little deprived of gluten-free cereals so I'm mainly stuck with gluten-free cornflakes. Almond milk def makes them a little more interesting!!
  15. IrishLisa
    You could also try Almond milk. It's naturally very sweet & tastes great on any cereal.

    Hi VydorScope, I am new to this message board, but def second Pattis' post. I've been casein intolerant since birth and it can be found lurking in so many foods, meds etc. Not sure about drive thoughs in the USA, because I live in Spain, but most hamburger buns, hot dog rolls, many of the sauces & also possibly the fries can also contain dairy. As...

    Hi all, I've been reading the messages on the forum for a few weeks now & have to say that I find the information on here so helpful. Just to give you a brief run down (or at least as brief as I possibly can!):- I've been casein intolerant since birth & problems with some soya based formulas too from what my mom remembers. For as long...
