    You are most welcome, Marie. Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many. And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said. I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something...

    Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this. I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them. Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately...

    Karen, welcome to the forum. Another thing to add: Belly bloat can persist if you are lactose intolerant, a situation caused by coeliac disease or it can simply be a stand alone condition. In the case of coeliac disease, it could be your damaged gut cannot break down lactose efficiently but, in time, once the gut heals, your lactose intolerance and...

    Hi @Beck1430 You are very welcome. I am looking at your spelling of coeliac disease and see you spell it the English way. If you are British, like me, perhaps you could update us if you are successful in getting genetic testing. It seems more commonplace in the US. I have been a diagnosed coeliac since 2013 I have not yet met anyone with coeliac...

    Hello @Beck1430 and welcome to the Forum. I am sorry your little boy is going through this. Your question is an interesting one. I would say the majority of posts I have read since joining this forum speak of a fairly quick reaction, and that has been my own experience. The only major gluten hit I've had in more recent times resulted in chills...

    @sillyyak52 Welcome to the forum! I'm just about to go away for a couple of days but read this and just had to reply. I am so sorry for what you are going through... it is really tough. Perhaps finding a short video online which explains the seriousness of celiac disease might help. Just sit your family down and say, "Please just watch this...

    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...
