    For me it is usually a statement "A little bit can't hurt". I think they are comparing it eating a little bit of chocolate. Cathy

    Hi suzie-q. and welcome. Yes it is possible to have coeliac and be overweight, it is not as rare as doctors might think. I am one of them, and there are quite a lot of others on this forum as well, so you are not alone. Cathy

    I stay away from barbeques. Don't like them because of the cc problems. I was just checking the food, for the non gluten freers, that they were cooked. Reading all these posts over the last few years, I kinda feel that I would love the experience of a gluten free house. Something to dream about.

    I'm one of the supersensitives too. It took a long time to come right on the gluten free diet. Have now been on it for three years, and still have stomach issues. My latest experience was cutting a normal pre-cooked sausages on the barbeque (it's summer here), to check if it was cooked, then touching it with my finger, and next I put that finger in...

    Good to see you back Lynne. Are altoids gluten free?

    What struck me as odd was when an aunt by marriage introduced me to her life as a coeliac. I thought, that is such a hard restrictive thing to cope with. But I did do a little comparing with my own health, which at that stage was starting to fall apart, but I should've gone further into it. I just thought at the time, I'm too healthy to have anything like...

    It is very scary stuff, to find out more, check the site below. this topic has been in our papers for the last week or so. too close to home. Open Original Shared Link

    Amylouise. I'm like you and do get that nauseous feeling at night as well. I find that it is usually because I had accidentally eaten gluten. I'm usually okay the next day, but that nauseous feeling is not a good one and only seems to happen at night. Sometimes I wake up feeling that my head is about a second behind and when I move I feel quite seasick...

    Amazing topic. I've always thought my fingerprints looked a bit worn, and they still do look worn down. I have never been fingerprinted. I'll have to find an ink pad and see what happens. Cathy

    Yes, I get this too. It happened more often prior to going gluten free, in the wee hours of the morning a pain in my stomach, it seemed to come over in waves, and of course that visit to the bathroom. I don't call it a stabbing pain, more a bad ache, quite similar to period pain, but worse. Now that I am gluten free, I only infrequently get this. I...

    That's interesting. I'm sitting here trying to think when is the last time I burped? I know before going gluten free I did at times burp a bit after a meal, but I don't do that anymore. Maybe there is a realtion to it. One of the first things I noticed after going gluten free was the fact that I didn't have a running nose after my lunch. Yest lunch was...

    A+ here. Yes it looks like the B's are in the minority. Cathy

    Like Sweetfudge I'm not technically a librarian. I volunteered in a community library years ago, before I went back to work. It was and as I still volunteer there once a month, it is an awesome chance to meet people. I fell into the job I have now. I help run, probably run a primary school library. My job is to accession the books, cover them, and...

    I've had shedding too. It didn't hurt, was more of a nuisance than anything. It wasn't all the time, but I can remember a couple of times when I gave up smoking, only to have the inside of my mouth shed for a few days, just inside my bottom lip, after the initial smoke free days. It took a few tries to give up smokes. Now that I am totally smoke free...

    The heading to your thread caught my eye. When you mentioned over-indulging, I thought you meant the practise of eating way too much, something which I can do with such ease. But you were only referring to only eating excess in the amount of gluten. Well I didn't really have what I considered symptoms. Okay I had a bit of diarhoea, that didn't really...

    Woolfee, welcome. I am like Meline and have never heard of what you were told. So hopefully that is just one less thing to worry about. I was only diagnosed with coeliac two and a half years ago, when I was 48. I was getting sicker and sicker and I felt I was on my way out, as I was just so unwell. I have come a long way to getting better, the feeling...

    Thank you for that comment Michelle. I at 50 now feel that I have grown into my grey hair. It was going grey in my late 20's and I have dyed it so many times, but gave up about three years ago, when I got married. Still today a 6 year old said I didn't look like a grandma, upon asking her why, she said I was too tall. I tell you, 5'3" is now...

    Hi Peg, I was going to suggest left-overs from tea, but as the microwave at work glutens you, that is probably not a good idea. Maybe you could heat it in a speacial micro-waveable container with a lid? Or you could use a thermos type container to keep your food warm. I'm not sure about your dietary requirements when it comes to most foods, so if I've...

    I also have had severe abdominal pain, and I have been diagnosed coeliac. The pain wasn't all the time, but maybe one or twice a month, as in severe cramping. Being gluten free has more or less eliminated it. Good luch, and I hope your pain goes. Cathy

    Hey Kaycee:

    I hope you're doing well!

    Just think Ali, if I didn't baulk at gluten free substitues early on, I might be so much worse off. What put me off the substitutes was the price initially, and then after a while I noticed all the additives and the shelf life of some of that food. I just didn't think that they would be any better than gluten food. If anything they would probably be...

    I've always had weight problems! Last time I went to the doctors, he believed I wasn't eating enough. True I probably wasn't, but I was stuck in a bind. In order to loose weight I had to eat less, and if I ate the recommended food intake, I would gain weight. What is a girl to do? On top of that he hinted I could be suffering from low blood sugar...

    Rachel, thanks for your reply and I feel for you being unable to eat much in the way of variety. Iam probably the same, as I can't eat much in the way of processed foods, they make me ill, whether it is the additives or hidden gluten, I don't know, as in NZ I think they are pretty good with their labelling. For me, it has been a slow trip getting to...

    This is all getting a bit too technical for me. My motive in going low carb is for my own health. It would be nice to know why I need to reduce carbs, but I don't think I will find out why in any hurry. But I do know I feel better going low carb. For now that is good enough for me. Cathy

    Just to say as a child I had night terrors. They were very scary, and I would wake the whole house screaming and then not remember what had upset me. Sheer terror. The last time I had a similar attack was when I was in my late teens, by then, they weren't very regular. I was a very nervous child and maybe just scared of my own shadow. I'm sorry but...
