Hi! I live in Coventry. there are a few of us lurking around here somewhere :D

Have you joined Coeliac UK? They will provide a book which lists gluten free products.

How far down the road are you with going gluten-free?

no i dont think i have but i will now thanks

ive been glutine free since january 2004 but im still finding it hard to cope exspecially when the people i live with and the people i associate with eat regular food around me but they understand if i get upset sometimes

im slowly putting on weight, ive gained about 2 stone since ive been on this diet which is good

ive got some problems with soya as well which is in most glutine free foods

i manage to get my food from tescos, sainsburys and a health food shop down the road

does anyone know of anywhere to get other glutine free foods from insted of supermarkets?

i live on the isle of wight and its a pretty small island with not many resources that the mainland has

thanks

I don't think that there would be anywhere else to get gluten free foods from other than the ones you've mentioned.(especially as you are on a such a small isle)

Once you join Coeliac UK you will receive a book-listing all main brand foods that are ok to eat-so it's worth joining for the book!

Here's a link to CUK

Open Original Shared Link you can apply online.

You don't mention how you were diagnosed,but if you were diagnosed by biopsy you are entitled to some gluten free foods on prescription from your G.P (bread,pasta and flour)

Hi Kate, I'm a 27 year old vegetarian coeliac living in Milton Keynes, 40 miles north of London. I'm writing a book on coeliac disease now. I highly recommend fresh foods, cooking from scratch etc... Always handy to have gluten free foods on standby but it really is easier to adopt a gluten-free lifestyle if you are prepared to take a different view on what you cook...

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
