    Hi - I've been tested for Coeliac Disease twice now and both blood tests have shown negative results. I've been having classic symptoms now for about two years and others which go back further. Instead I was diagnosed with IBS. Frustrating! I took dairy and gluten out of my diet earlier this year and kept a food diary and then added back in for the gluten...

    Hi - I'm now 5 weeks into the gluten challenge and I have my first Covid vaccine booked for next Friday here in the UK. A sudden thought that I wanted to just query - if my body is currently having crappy reactions to gluten (be it Coeliac or not), does this mean I could potentially have a worse reaction to the vaccine than say my partner, who does not have...

    I just read this article (thank you) and yet another symptom which I'd not seen before, I can totally relate to in recent years - Epistaxis—nose bleeds. I've been getting them on and off for a while. I first noticed them just after I had my daughter, some 14 years ago. She also has them regularly too and hers are quite bad. Another one to add to the list o...

    That's exactly how I'm feeling. I was really nervous of driving home from work yesterday as I'd had a couple of dizzy spells at work. I HAVE noticed these on occasions before removing gluten a few month ago and then adding back in for this challenge. Sometimes I would get them whilst just sitting down! But since adding the gluten back in, as with the other...

    I'd also forgotten to ask if dizziness can be a factor whilst doing the gluten challenge as I'm aware of feeling a bit woozy several times during the last couple of weeks. Is this normal or should I be worried?

    Hi Cristiana, thanks for the reply. I had already cut back on dairy before I thought gluten might be an issue, but some is still sneaking in - particularly over the Easter break! I'll maybe give the bran flakes a wide berth for now.

    Hi - I'm nearly at the four week mark of the UK gluten challenge before going for a blood test. After not having this much gluten daily for what seems like forever, is it normal that as the days/weeks go by on the challenge, that I will notice just generally feeling more rubbish and be more 'aware' of my stomach all the time. Today I've been conscious of...

    I also had a birthday the first weekend of eating gluten again - kind of planned it that way! 🙂 So I was definitely hitting the ground running with the gluten. I've not been sick, but have felt nausea on several occasions which is also quite new. I've had some banging migraines, where I've even had to have my other half massage my head... it was that bad. I...

    Hello - just dropping back in onto this thread - wasn't sure what the etiquette was and whether I should start a new thread. So, I'm nearly three weeks into the gluten challenge and I'm feeling pretty pants I'll be honest. I'm trying to get the minimum amount into me every day and I'm managing it thankfully. But the niggly stomach cramps and aches are still...

    Hi - I lost my Dad just after my first child was born - so my hormones were all over the place anyway, as well as dealing with the grief, so it's possible that was the trigger and this has been coming on slowly for a while. I guess the excessive tiredness I just put down to being a new parent, but I've never really felt 'not tired' since then, even though...

    I know what you mean, but I think for me it’s knowing for definite one way or another and I’m not one for giving up easily. At least If I know then I can manage people’s expectations as well as my own. To be honest I’ll not miss McDonald’s if I have to give it up 🥴 (maybe a tiny bit!) I’ll persevere and report back 😊

    So I'm day 6 of eating gluten again and I've had the worst headaches I've had in weeks and also I seem to be getting stomach pain as well as the usual bloating. Well, when I say pain, it's like little stabs of pins and needles on the inside. Is this normal? It varies from left to right and it's generally on the lower half. I've not really had these before...

    Hi - thanks for all the responses. It's really helpful. Four slices of bread is definitely a lot for me and I don't think I've achieved that daily for years. I try to eat healthily and so naturally don't eat a lot of refined or processed foods and we're more likely to sit down to a meat and veg meal than a pasta laden meal, so it's really hard for me to eat...

    Thank you for the advice. So where you say 1-2 slices of wheat bread daily - if, for example, I'd eaten toast for breakfast one day, with a sandwich for lunch and then a pizza for supper (so basically maximised gluten intake one day), but then didn't consume any gluten the day after - could that missed day potentially affect a test result or would the...

    Hi - I'm new to this and so if I'm posting this in the wrong place, please let me know. I was tested for Coeliac last year after a second degree relative tested positive and I began to research what Coeliac disease is. I realised I ticked a lot of the boxes. So I contacted my GP and I went in for a raft of blood tests - diabetes, thyroid, iron etc. All were...
