    Some general advice. Don't assume they've read all your notes/are completely up to date with where you're at. Have a note / printout of your symptoms in bullet form as you listed above. Have dates of when you went gluten free and any changes you've noted since. Be prepared to answer questions about your diet and lifestyle. Quite a few are things I...

    Good for you Ennis. I hope you find someone to appreciate your creativity when it comes to food preparation. I've been on my own for some time now. I don't know if I want to subject someone else to the paranoia of ordering food etc. It's lonely at times but I've gotten used to it a lot more now.

    Never been there but just looked at their gluten free menu online and am impressed. I tend to make my own burgers now and cook them separately when bbq season arrives. There's a Gourmet Burger not too far away however so I will give them a try. Funnily enough although I'm probably coming over all: its actually savoury things which I miss more...

    Ah to hell with it. Most of the time these days I'm super good. I have so few vices now. I don't drink, smoke, explore the cosmic depths within my soul via chemical enhancements or eat fast food. God I'm boring. The way I look at it the odd frozen gateaux or cheesecake is owed to me for all this forbearance. Besides we have an excuse for slipping...

    I used to love the doughnuts filled with custard. Hey who am I kidding, I loved the ones with jam and the iced ones and the ones on their own too but yeah, I could manage a custard doughnut... Still given I polished off the gateau the other day and had a lovely pannacotta the day before its probably just as well that I can't get my hands on one!

    No and now I miss them too thanks for sharing Tesco used to: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=290037330 but I dont remember seeing them.

    Good to hear this. Keep looking after yourself, eating well and get that last 30% or more back next!

    Yeah the toblerone cake is nice too. Now, Fanfare.... https://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=295327675 I was super excited to see this It tasted good too. Super indulgent and very nice to know there's another option for a frozen dessert to go alongside the cheesecake. Well done Tesco...

    I didn't tolerate quinoa well last time I had it: http://www.livestrong.com/article/444005-reactions-to-quinoa/

    Welcome Sarah! I hope you find this site as useful and supportive as I have. I was still finding improvements many months into the gluten free diet. As others have said the neuro symptoms seemed to take a little longer, although the fog lifted quickly. I get occasional twinges which I put down to possible cross contamination.At one month you probably...

    Hi and welcome There's no real way to know exactly what triggers celiac to become active. Some report it after stress, for some pregnancy seems to trigger it. For others there's no cause as such, it just develops over time. As it has a genetic component the truth is that you've always had the capacity to develop it, so I wouldn't waste any time kicking...

    That Daim chocolate cake is on offer in Tescos at the moment. I really like it.

    I don't think Chris Kresser is a doctor mate. I've read his blog previously and he's often got some interesting content, but as far as I'm aware he's not qualified to give medical advice. I don't want to seem pedantic, because I respect the efforts you put into helping others, but I think it's an important distinction!

    In Europe also Karen. I slipped up eating some regular cornflakes which had previously been listed as ok by coeliac UK. I developed a rash on my elbows that went once I removed them from my diet.

    Thans for posting that, it included a link to this article from Kevin Seplowitz which Scott published on this site: https://www.celiac.com/articles/798/1/A-Word-on-Gluten-and-Beer/Page1.html It's over 10 yrs old so things may have changed but it makes interesting reading:

    Probably a side issue given the seriousness of your symptoms but have you tried a course of probiotics? If you've had strong antibiotics they may have killed off the good bacteria in your gut. Replacing them may give your digestion a boost and it sounds like it needs that? There's over the counter solutions as well as the option of making your own kefir or...

    Welcome to the forum! ? You may not get a response from the original poster as it was 5 years ago. But I hope you find this site as helpful as I have. All the best...

    It's seemingly not unusual to find some people who either make up their own rules or decide that they don't apply to them. A diagnosed celiac I spoke to prior to my endoscopy surprised me by ordering a regular lager. He said it was ok for him as his 'stomach had healed'... Well that approach is not for me, even if I were still drinking (I'm on an extended...

    Hi Claire and welcome It's quite common for celiacs to also suffer from lactose intolerance. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/coeliac-disease/associated-conditions-and-complications/lactose-intolerance/ After healing on the gluten free diet many can reintroduce lactose at a later date once the villi have recovered and begin to produce lactase...

    Well said! I can't help with advice, but I and many others are wishing you well Jm34, hope that things pick up for you.

    I like Costco but am in uk so our Costco products may differ, but I've found coconut flour, gf 'chips' pasta and more. There was a brownie mix which was pretty good if like me your a bit lazy when it comes to baking. The lines seem to vary here so you need to get it before it's gone. In the refrigerated sections there are some nice falafel and spicy...

    It's easy to make your own. You just need some beef bones. Put them in baking tray and add a little water. Roast them for hr or so at a high heat then put them in a slow cooker for as long as you can manage up to 2 days. You can add whatever vegetables you like: http://nourishedkitchen.com/beef-stock-recipe/ I add some cider vinegar but you...

    That was the heart of what I was trying to say CL - I just witter on a bit sometimes... I am feeling grouchy now, whether I can blame that on a crumb or just my crumby attitude I'm yet to decide. Tonight I wandered the supermarket resenting all the stuff I can't have and the people that can. I think I need a hobby or something. Or a lottery win...

    This has got me thinking as well. I've moved away from only having the things in the book to sometimes looking at ingredients lists in general and if there's no 'made in factory with wheat' warning I've been having it. I thought I was getting over the worst of the paranoia and getting better at managing my diet but maybe I've become complacent and I'll have...
