I have never had a glazed doughnut, and now I feel it is something simply necessary to my existence. That is THREE of you mentioning it now! I think in Australia we're more partial to TimTams and biscuity things, and broiling to death two metres away from the surface of the sun.

Dear Old Turdle, First, apologies for delay! Fate saw me griping about a pitiful little two week wait and decided to give me something else to occupy my brain. It gave me shingles. Huzzah! Mercifully mild, but unexpected, and unwanted, and apparently a side-effect of the Pfizer vaccination, which I had just had. It seems in certain folk the vaccine...

Thank you for this exceedingly helpful and detailed response! I have indeed continued with gluten, and will do up until the wretched endoscopy. As others have suggested, I am romping through a selection of soon-to-be-outlawed food items. I am VERY interested in the possibility that all my various ailments are Celiac related. The neurological ones being...

That would be helpful! But no, alas. I'm in the antipodes (Australia, specifically), which has an excellent medicare system, which would have granted me a free endoscopy in about two months time. However, in this instance, with our public hospitals rapidly overflowing, my GP referred me to a private practice which has only minimal waiting. This eases the...

Exactly. It's the fact that it's only two weeks, whereas others here have to wait MONTHS for endoscopies or biopsy results, which makes me feel like I'm being a bit flimsy. I should develop some intestinal fortitude (to deal with my intestinal ineptitude). But the brain fog/anxiety/irritability is horrendous, and I just feel wretched. My chief concern...

I have added that link VERY SWIFTLY to my Celiac bookmark folder. Mercifully I mainly drink wine, but my mother, who I've prodded into getting tested also, is very worried about her Jameson whisky. Laphroaig is an...interesting...experience. It's vaguely meant to taste like a boot fished out of the sea, thrown in a peat fire, then rubbed vigorously on a horse...

Thank you, this is very helpful! I hadn't considered a baseline reading at all. Our day surgery is quite busy at the moment, as we have the Delta lurgy ripping through the city, so I shall try one piece of bread (as that does seem to be the consensus) or half a croissant a day or somesuch. It's rather frustrating not to know for certain for a few weeks, although...

Ah yes! Excellent idea. Croissants and licorice (not together) it is! I suddenly have a terrible fear about Laphroaig, but I HOPE whisky is gluten free....O dear. Ta for the welcome! B

Hello, all! I’ve read a fair whack of the posts on this forum, and they are most illuminating and comforting. However, I can’t quite find the answer I need, so possibly someone can help? I tested positive for Celiac last week through blood tests (and symptoms), but my endoscopy isn’t for another two and a half weeks, and I loathe the idea of continuing glute...
