    Unfortunately some of us have other intolerances as well. What I want to know, is like it says in books and on the internet, these intolerances, such as milk can go away after abstaining for a few months from the offending product. I know our intolerance for gluten is here for life. So has anybody come through the other side of these intolerances and...

    I had stir fry for tea with a couple of tiny mince pies. I had put the mince in two rice wraps each, and it was quite successful and yummy. They, the non coeliacs had egg and bacon on sandwiches, and the daring even had the stir fry. I also had to sample my latest homemade loaf of gluten free, yeast free, soy free, and dairy free bread, before it all...

    Hello from new zealand. We have the coeliac society here too, but probably not much more than that. That is why I am here too. cathy

    I too hate caramel. Even if things are labelled gluten free and have caramel in them, I usally have a reaction

    You might be a coeliac if you panic when someone is wanting to use the loo after you. You might be a coeliac if when using a public toilet, you sneak out when nobody else is around. Just found this thread and it is wonderfully funny, if not quite serious.

    ARCHIVED Food Diaries

    Kaycee replied to Kaycee's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Check up on bristol stools on wikipedia and it explains from constipated looking ones to diahrhoea. It is on a scale from 1 to 7, with 7 being diarhoea. I still like to keep an eye on this, as I tend to be a five quite a bit too often. Maybe being a coeliac, I might never get to normal. Sorry for being a bit gross, but it is one way for me to keep...

    ARCHIVED Food Diaries

    Kaycee posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Ever since dieting to loose weight nearly two years ago, I have been using a food diary. Initially it was for counting calories of the food I was eating. Then slowly I made a co-relation between what I eat and my bowel problems, so I started adding my bowel habits. Now that I am gluten free, have been for eight months, my diary is still changing. Now...

    Sugar Hater Me

    Kaycee posted a blog entry in Kaycee's Blog

    There is nothing worse than a drop of rain (it was a big drop) in the middle of the night to remind me that I have washing on the line! And then, this morning, my son, the big 6 footer can’t find any jeans. Guess where they are? On the line! I wake up this morning feeling like a truck has run me over. I only had a small glass of red wine. Usually n...

    I think with a proper diagnosis, you will know one way or the other that what you are doing the right thing. I found before my diagnosis I didn't quite believe I was coeliac, and did cheat a little. But nothing seemed consistant, each time I ate gluten I would either get a reaction or not. But that was in the early days. Now if I eat gluten I do get sick...

    Yes I do feel a bit flushed with drinking wine, red or white, and some spirits. Some one says it is because it increases the blood pressure. But I have been like this since I began drinking, and there is nothing wrong with my blood pressure. I think it is because alcohol seems to have a warming effect, by opening up the pores in your face that it makes...

    ARCHIVED Carbonation?

    Kaycee replied to wozzy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Have you thought that it might be the artificial sweetener in the diet coke? From what I gather it can be pretty nasty and causes diahrhea. For that reason I will never ever drink another diet drink. Cathy

    I went off gluten at the begginning of the year for about 4 weeks before I had my blood test. I did a couple of times during those weeks eat gluten as I wasn't quite convinced, or else just needed to try it. Nevertheless, the results came back weakly positive to coeliac. I have had two more blood tests since, and I have not been eating any gluten, apart...

    I too was diagnosed with a blood test. That was followed two months later with another blood test, which showed my levels were going down slowly. So I was responding to a gluten free diet, but sad to say there was room for improvement on that diet. I was just learning the ropes at that stage. Now I am even more careful with what I eat. So the blood...

    I get brain fog too. It feels like I am there but I am not. A bit like being off my face (whatever that feels like), and it is not pleasant. I get a bit unsociable, I can't contribute anything noteworhty to any conversation and my sense of humour just disappears out the window. It is like I am withdrawing into myself. At work I will be on auto pilot...

    Have you been following a gluten free diet since your were diagnosed gluten intolerant? If you have continued to eat gluten while being gluten intolerant this can lead to coeliac. If you have been gluten free since 2003, chances are they if there was any damage this would've healed by now. Talk to the doctor see what he says. Hope you get some...

    Another episode in going gluten free. As you can see it has been a battle and a long journey, and now six months later I am still getting there with my food woes. I do embrace the diet, but it has been a slow journey to get to here. 1 Feb Hot night. Jim is relaxing as after yesterday, he is totally whacked. He gets impatient about not coming right...

    Totally, totally agree with you. Sugar is addictive. It seems to be in all processed food. They make a product low fat, but it is full of sugar. There is nothing like coeliac to make me stand up and take notice of what I put in my body. Sugar is not one of those things. Only occassionally. I did start off trying to find things that would replace what...

    My body did talk to me and it told me to eat eat, as it was always starving. But now, it isn't starving, and I am learning to pick and choose what I eat. I love that part of the diet. It satisfies me 9 days out of ten. Cathy

    If my body is trying to tell me to avoid these foods, why did it not give me that message before I went gluten free? Cathy

    The smell of bread in the supermarket gets me. Along with food being fried. Just seems to be greasy things. Yuck. Cathy

    I am so frustrated about coeliac and the lack of information that is available to us from the medical system. My doctor just told me avoid gluten! When I went back after a couple of months I was told to give myself a chance to heal. I am a bit reluctant to go back and throw good money away after bad. In the shops and the libraries there does not seem...

    According the my blood test results the test was for Tissue Transglutaminase iga, so I guess you are right and that would be the test to go for. Cathy

    About the time of my diagnosis, I had terrible jaw pain. It might have been strees, but I went to the doctor (about the same time as when I enquired about being gluten intolerant). He thought it could've been my teeth or the jaw. He guessed it was the jaw and that it could take a while to disappear, and prescribed panadol. And I think I had it for about...

    The diet of our pre-agricultural ancestors consisted of meats, insects, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Found that on the net, but I don't think I will be sampling the insect bit! Apart from that it sounds fine. Where does wine fit in to this diet? That would be fruit I guess, it has to be. I am slowly getting to this type of diet, all I need to...

    I always thought I was going to live a long life. Now I think like you I will live a longer life. I just hope there is someone around to be there with me! Cathy
