Hi Scott! I had never heard of it either! I think there have been around 300 recorded cases so it is all a bit strange, there are only specialists at Mayo apparently (and then like 1) and being that I am in the UK it is not that helpful, so I am just looking around for someone who knows what it is. I haven't had a biopsy yet, it was just picked up on... -

Hi all!! I'm just back with a quick update, so my blood test last year was negative for coeliacs, but my doctor said if cutting out gluten eased my symptoms to go ahead and do it (so I did!). In weirder news is, I may have just discovered the cause of my stomach issues, after an emergency hospital admission last week, have been diagnosed with something called...

I definitely want a vaccine but in the UK it is only offered on the NHS to people over the age of 70, or privately over the age of 50, so I will have to see if it is possible to get it under that age because it really is horrible! Glad you haven't had it for ages!

Thanks, will definitely give this a try (or anything at the moment to make sure this doesn't happen again, I'm only 30! Didn't even know about shingles!!) waiting on some blood test results so will hope that it will shed some light on any other vitamins I need to have some more of too!!

Hi, I don't have much advice, just want to say I really sympathise, having only just stabilised from a 10 year+ battle with anorexia having more 'food issues' on top of that feels like such a kick in the teeth and I often worry about whether I brought it on myself by messing my digestion around so much that it decided to pay me back this way. I'm really...

Thanks for this! I mentioned it to my gp after I had my coeliac blood test, and she diagnosed it as shingles!! This actually makes a lot of sense, as I've never felt this Ill in my life!! When the rash arrived I started getting really bad (what I thought was sciatica) and hyper sensitive skin down my side,along with a temperature and arrhythmia over 120bpm...

I know it's only the teeniest of photos, but what are people's thoughts!? Not the greatest photo...not an easy angle to get 😳 the butt/hip area! Only just saw it today in week 6 of my gluten challenge ( D, C, nausea, tiredness, horrible aches, shivers and wobbly, physically throwing up, just feeling like been hit by a truck) only saw this rash today when I ...

I am 11 days away from the blood test and definitely have had more dizzy spells/ just not really feeling 'with it' over the last 4ish weeks since upping the gluten (to such an extent that I have been put off getting back into driving, as I don't really trust my reactions at the moment) Just so sooo tired and achey and would love my stomach to decide what...

Hi Trevva, Sorry to hear that you are feeling rubbish! Gotta say, me too! Though not going to lie, I am probably eating more than the minimum, and that is probably my own fault, but on my birthday last week I though f*** it, if this might be my last gluten Birthday I am going to enjoy myself, so my boyfriend and I ordered a vegan takeaway (a vegan meat...

Thank you!! Things aren't too bad, though my stomach is definitely not too happy about the situation (though I am thanking God for working from home and strechy trousers!) Also I guess one plus of the challenge being 6 weeks is my Birthday is within that time, so although I might feel bad, I might get to have a big yummy vegan Birthday cake (to make sure...

I am also gluten challenge-ing at the moment (Day 10 of the UK 6 weeks one, though blood test booked in for 20th April so might end up a bit longer). I have decided to go quite full in with ensuring I am having gluten every day, a couple of times at least, and I feel rough. Even if the blood test dont show coeliac then I am like 99% sure it is something gluten...
