Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK. Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs. If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend... -

Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome. I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty: "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis. I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting...

Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis. I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice: for depression, The Depression...

Burning Sensation in the small intestine
cristiana replied to pilber309's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It could well be a new intolerance developing. Does your diet incorporate pure oats i.e. those safe for coeliac consumption? I find I can only tolerate a certain amount, same goes for dairy in fact, then I start to get gastric symptoms. Or have you started consuming a new type of gluten-free bread, or more gluten-free bread than normal, that might contain... -
Burning Sensation in the small intestine
cristiana replied to pilber309's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I agree with @trents, could be worth having another scope. Oddly enough I'm in the same boat except my current odd sensation is near my appendix, I think I'll request a colonoscopy for peace of mind. -

Burning Sensation in the small intestine
cristiana replied to pilber309's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hello @pilber309 and welcome to the forum. (Nice to meet an almost-twin, I have nearly reached 14 years post diagnosis, too!) I suffer from burning pain in an area which you might be describing: if you were looking at me, south of my ribs, between the sternum and belly button. Is that the area you are talking about? I get this pain when I am... -

Issues before diagnosis
cristiana replied to sha1091a's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms. I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should... -

More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns! I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops. Thanks so much, @Russ H.

Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain...

It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now. Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

Not much use to Canadians but if any British Lindt lovers are looking at this, give Marks & Spencer's Swiss Truffles a try - no barley but same taste. I'm pretty sure that in a blind tasting a coeliac would not know the difference - but then again, if you want to put this to the test, get a non-Coeliac to try this! I don't want anyone here to get glutened...

I'm based in the UK and haven't tried that bread but in the past have got on quite well with Genius. Mostly I tend to eat bread with added seeds just because I find it more interesting. It is good to speak to another UK coeliac though as I am absolutely sure that up until recently a lot of the bread I was eating had added vitamins - but when I...

Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply. Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct. Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two...
