    I drink a fair amount of coffee, 90% of which is decaffeinated. I take it black and unsweetened. Occasionally I will get a churning stomach from one brand, but I don't put that down to gluten but to coffee's natural effect on the gut. I guess if I were looking to improve my diet I'd look at cutting down or cutting completely, but hell, I've not got...

    Coeliac UK occasionally strike a controversial note. I often saw arguments online about recommendations. I think they're generally guided by the prevailing science. My barley malt story is that I joined CUK and the guide became my Bible in the first months on the diet. One item on there was Aldi cornflakes, I like Aldi and some months later I saw them...

    This site mentions a couple of other possibilities before you have to throw alcohol out entirely: https://www.healthcentral.com/article/understanding-alcohol-allergy-and-alcohol-intolerance I was asking about the brand because I was thinking about sulphites and sure enough: Kopparberg ... Contains: Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites ... Histamine...

    Hi Steph, Sorry you're not feeling too good. What was the brand of cider? Matt

    So the coeliac gluten free week is almost upon us. The latest Aldi catalog has some gluten free stuff, but it's not on the shelves yet. There's bread mixes, gluten-free beer, some ilumi ready meals, which are very handy to have in the cupboard: http://www.ilumiworld.com/shop/meals.html and some dessert bars that I've not seen before. There's also some of...

    That's exceedingly gutting I didn't like bakewell cake before, almonds weren't my thing. Now I'm much less fussy. The french fancy's were retaliation for the great doughnut debacle of several posts ago. Now we're even

    Just sprinkle iron filings on them The Angel slice suggestion reminds me, Also spotted on my recon my first sighting of mr Kipling's gluten free cherry bake well tarts and a bake well loaf. I only pray that mr Kipling , possibly the busiest baker in the history of the world, will deign to deglutenise his exceedingly good French fancies as I am suddenly...

    Tesco have some gluten free offers, see photograph for more. If I had to guess I'd say they're out in advance of Coeliac UK's gluten free awareness week which promises a gluten freevolution...Needless to say I will be at the barricades urging the downfall of the gluten bakeries and the coming of the new glorious gluten free order. Until then I will be...

    Sometimes that's almost as important as avoiding the gluten. There's times where I've not enjoyed myself because I'm more worried about the potential for getting glutened...

    Ah.... Settles back, dons funny hat, smokes pipe, plays violin, injects heroin etc... I think you need to treat yourself as your own science experiment. If you're ok at home with all of the drinks then you can almost certainly rule out alcohol intolerance and thank your bodies burgeoning super coeliac powers of gluten detection for the reaction...

    Hi Steph and welcome I'm yet another Brit, funny how the alcohol threads flush us out I don't drink now but after a big night I used to get truly savage all day hangovers, much worse than those of my friends. They could include splitting headaches, vomiting, nausea, a 'fuzziness' in my head, sweats etc. After I put the pieces together and went...

    Thank you for posting this I've never been to South America, it's the only continent, bar the poles, I've yet to visit. It's really nice to read that my gluten sensitivity hasn't ruled it out. Maybe I'll get to the land of Luis Suarez yet!

    Obviously from the outside it's difficult to comment, but if I were you I'd leave allergies for now and pursue definitive celiac testing via your doctor and preferably a gastroenterologist. They're the first port of call for digestion issues. If you do wind up being celiac it's possible that other allergies or intolerances would resolve or improve in any...

    I didn't read that far. Yikes... A hefty dose of perspective in that one. For anyone reading this is the post:

    Hello and welcome Reading your post it looks like each of your results were within the 'normal' range. There doesn't appear to be mention of a total serum IGA to make sure you have enough of this to begin with to make the test accurate however - but there are others here who are more experienced who may be able to tell you more. There are some other...

    There's a great post by Tarnalberry in that thread.

    Hi Jennifer and welcome CyclingLady has given you some good advice above. You want certainty and that's entirely understandable. Go back to your doctors and explain that you need to know a little more and hopefully they will engage positively with you. If they don't, then do pursue a second opinion. I just wanted to address your last paragraph...

    I never could get into marmite in the days of gluten past. Our antipodean friends failed to sell the delights of vegemite when I lived there either. But now, starved of variety and intrigued by the B vitamins and Iron I'm almost tempted to give this a shot. Have you tried it yet?

    Applying Occam's razor, could the diarrhea simply be related to the diet change and thus separate from the rib pain?

    And the people that put wheat in Walkers crips ready salted will be first against the wall... Reading the lindt section they have that ambiguity on barley malt extract from coeliac uk. That winds me up, I got ill from barley malt in cereal in part because coeliac uk were so relaxed about it. I was eating harvest morn corn flakes with barley malt because...

    I saw a giant dairy milk bar on the supermarket conveyor belt the other day. I wanted it sooo bad I didn't get any eggs in the end, bar a creme egg, do they count? It is indeed In the past they've also published an ice cream list as summer arrives, doesn't seem to be available now though. Maybe I should rejoin for a year to get some up to date...

    Happy Easter! This is the special time of year when we celebrate the divinity of chocolate. coeliac uk have posted a safe list of eggs etc link is on this page: https://www.coeliac.org.uk/gluten-free-diet-and-lifestyle/food-shopping/easter-treats/ Nom nom!

    Hi Just to add whenever I see this: I (albeit sometimes reluctantly) pass on the product. They could just be covering their ass, but any warning that would impact on sales is only on that package for a reason. There's nearly always a safe acceptable alternative so why take the risk?

    Certainly your allergy symptoms are suggestive of other things going on. I have high IGE, suffered from asthma and hay fever and I sneeze when I'm in the baking section of stores. I think that's either defensive to stop wheat ingestion or its my body telling me to move on and leave the doughnuts be but regardless it's a different immune reaction that hasn...

    It's good to hear of a positive appointment Emma It looks like you may be able to add to your auto immune poker hand Reading your symptoms some of them like palpitations for instance resolved for me on the diet. Which made me think that: may also have a refractory celiac element even if the levels are going down? https://glutenintoleranceschool...
