    Looked this up. Yes, forgiveness and bearing with people is people is vital.

    I must admit I've been on both sides. Before my diagnosis, and in my ignorance, I thought all the special diets we see around us today were unnecessary and people were making a big fuss over nothing. There is a shop in the small town where I live that sells organic and gluten free food and I used to see people walking in and buying things and thought they...

    HI @Kwinkle I am not sure where you are posting from, but here in the UK it is most definitely gluten free. I think you ought to try contacting the manufacturers or distributors locally to see what they say.

    I also have experienced this from time to time. It seems to tie in with episodes of IBS, eating too much fibre but also because I have issues with my pudendal nerve - perhaps some sort of inflammation. Not fun at all when it strikes.

    Gluten migranes at night

    cristiana commented on Debado's blog entry in Debado

    The first symptoms I had of coeliac disease were migraines. I think your doctor needs to test you for coeliac disease. The fact you are having migraines at night is interesting, but I never used to drink enough and my headaches were worse when I woke up in the morning. Dehydration was also a big cause for me.

    Hi @DayaInTheSun Welcome to the forum! I've been a Mod on this forum for some years now and your feelings are shared by many of us. I am not sure how long you have been diagnosed, but in my own case I do find that time has helped. It was pretty exhausting at first trying to explain to friends but they now have a pretty good grasp of coeliac...

    UPDATE I've been asked for an update by someone who sent a PM, but It's best to post health info publicly because this means fellow Mods can make sure I'm staying on the straight and narrow path with any advice I'm giving out! Alex... Yes, my symptoms did slowly improve. They started around October, from memory. Approaching Christmas I remember...

    Thanks @Scott Adams I've just read the recipe - it looks a fair bit healthier than mine, with carrots in it, it might even fulfil a person's 5-a-Day fruit and veg quota! I see the writer is of UK descent. For one minute there, I thought that perhaps the fruit cake, marzipan and icing thing wasn't just a weird thing we do in the UK? I am now wondering...

    Hello all I am taking some time out from work today to make my annual Christmas cake along the lines of a tried and tested English recipe which means a fruit cake, with marzipan and icing. As usual, I've left it too late - we're meant to bake these things some time in advance to improve the flavour. I never remember. But it never seems to matter...

    So glad @sh00148 that you now have a coeliac diagnosis for your daughter. We really appreciate your update. If we can help any further, do not hesitate to get in touch.

    That is such a lovely post - thank you so much, @Kathleen JJ for taking the time to write. I am so glad I actually saw it as at the moment I'm not really supposed to be looking at the forum. I have a couple of long overdue work projects so I was taking a breaks from the forum to concentrate on my writing. 🙂 You have handled/are handling this situation so...

    Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing has stepped up a notch since diagnosis. Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out. Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes...

    As a parent myself, I find we feel these things very keenly, it is completely understandable that you feel the way you do. It won't always be easy for your son, of course, but honestly most of the coeliacs I know are very healthy individuals who enjoy life to the full and have adapted very well. Family support is a massive factor in this, and your son...

    Thank you for the update. At least now you know what you are dealing with. Is the system similar to that in the UK in that you will have a follow-up with the gastroenterologist where you can ask any questions you have, and also a referral to a nutritionist?

    One thing I ought to add is that although any new medical condition diagnosis can come as a huge shock/blow, navigating the gluten free diet will one day become second nature to you all Yes, mistakes occur on the way, but it will get easier. A few things that have helped me on my journey: 1/ My husband has said to me a few times, and I think it...
