Ahhh....... You know that's my kryptonite. After almost religiously eliminating it from my diet and feeling good its slipped back in. Marshmallows, chocolate, cake etc. Maybe I need to get all Calvinist on the cookies. Yes I've been a bit blase about the supplements recently as well... More good advice Thanks! I'll punish myself tomorrow...

Welcome Sharlotta As others have said this is a great site with lot's of good info and helpful members. I hope you find as much help and support here as I have and that you get all the answers you need.

It's good advice and I'm grateful for it. I'm just depressed at the thought of stripping the variety out of my diet again. I think this time its cross contamination - because most of the symptoms are quite mild compared to what they've been before...
-
Well I considered it but I finally came to terms with not having definitive answers and decided to get on with getting on. I said my piece above about the cost / benefit to continued research and getting some help in coming to terms with the psychological impact. I think that's an area that would give you a much greater boost but that's your call. All the...

Sorry, I'm a frustrated writer can't help myself. Anyway, thanks for wading through it and for going back 3 more times to decipher my ramblings. There should be some sort of medal I do use cooking foil where possible and don't use jars etc. The fridge handles thing is both very clever and somewhat scary. I just don't have this level of attention to...

Yesterday an old friend showed up unexpectedly. I call him Eye twitch but that's just a joke between us as he actually yanks the muscle just under my eye. It's his way of saying hi, personally I'd prefer a phone call but we can't have it all. He's not the only one of the group to show up, Backpain has also made an unwelcome appearance. Old BP invited...

One of the strangest things I found after going gluten free was that hangovers were a breeze! I used to have horrendous hangovers but could pour cider down all night and the next day was a walk in the park! Cyrex labs in the States were offering testing, you may be able to get a referral if you're willing to pay? It was something I considered when...

When on desktop highlight the text and within a second or so the quote this button above, lot easier. Mobile is a bit fiddlier granted. However your point is moot, it's the choice of passage I was referring to and maybe it was subconscious but my point remains. You didn't address the positive in your own comments afterwards either. Ok: As...
-
Against my better judgement I'll reply To be honest I wish I could speak to you in person because there's a limit to how effective communication over a forum can be and from what I've read you are almost exactly where I was not so long ago. Let me say that I think you're clearly extremely bright and have amassed knowledge on this. I also think however...

Ok, I don't want to play amateur psychologist and I fully respect your decision, so this will be my last contribution to the thread, but when you say this: it suggests that you don't have a good handle on what counselling actually is. Neither they nor indeed you can change the facts of celiac, but they may be able to help change the way that you look...
-
Egs I think you should reconsider your attitude to seeing a counsellor. If for no other reason than that you're currently in the early stages of the grief process, although you may not see it as such. Just from reading your posts I can recognise a lot of the thought processes and attitudes I went through on discovering gluten was a problem and although it...

Next time someone comes on asking about gluten induced insomnia you know where to point them:)
-
Interesting. Hadn't heard of the trigeminal nerve before. I got regular twitching, like a trapped nerve on my face. That stopped after going gluten-free. Another one of those things I never connected till later, I was falling apart but in a state of denial as it turned out! I now think opticians may not have the experience of this sort of stuff, certainly...

I get these weird grey patches on my vision. The other day it was like my entire vision was greyed out in my right eye with the exception of a small 'hole' in the right hand side, which I could see through. That was more extreme, sometimes its just a patch which is obscured. It's a freaky and frankly unpleasant experience although it never lasts too...

I shall scour my local tescos and report back... On my last trip I got the last gluten-free xmas pudding and thus saved Christmas, so I'm on something of a roll, gluten free of course. I know what you mean about the oats, after I started the diet I could notice when I'd had them and thought I'd have to exclude them altogether. I did exclude almost all...
-
Is it these by any chance? http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/cadbury-dairy-milk-christmas-chocolate-chunks-166g/p/48609 checked the ingredients, like you say look safe. I just need to wait till next Christmas. Doh!
-
Oh yes. I've gradually moved more towards dark chocolate as I've got older, I like the Moser Roth from Aldi for instance: https://www.aldi.co.uk/p/63574/0 and tell myself its in some way healthier... But every so often I'll get a craving for old school British milk chocolate, cadburys, galaxy or even a raisin and biscuit yorkie. From Cadburys I still...

Lots in the same boat sadly. Ignorance of this is high in UK medical establishment, certainly at GP level. I got wrong information, repeatedly...

Coping with Celiacs
Jmg replied to glutenfreegirlfriend's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Welcome to the forum this is a nice thing for you to do. I think every celiac would wish for a partner as supportive. First, neither you nor he should panic. At nine months in he's hopefully got a lot more healing to do, so more improvement may be around the corner. Second, with just a few months since diagnosis, can you be quite certain that... -
This had reminded me of this site: http://gluteninbeer.blogspot.co.uk/ where someone is actually testing different beers to find out their gluten content. You can see from the list about halfway down the page how different beers vary. Not many craft beers amongst them though. If the chills persist meanwhile consider a leather jacket...
-
Hi Nalazoo and welcome! I found your post fascinating. Thanks for posting it, there's a chance it could help someone else trying to put their own jigsaw together at some point in the future. For me, I had yet another 'aha' moment when you mentioned ear wax. I used to produce loads of brown wax, after gluten went it did as well. Until today I never...
-
Hi, welcome, and Bad Kitty for drinking that beer Some beers have a higher gluten content than others. I've seen some say that they could drink a corona for instance which is lower than some. There's no way I'd do this however. There's plenty of gluten-free options available if you want a beer, or go for cider instead which is a better bet imo. ...

Absolutely, somewhere on pubmed there's a paper detailing how airborne gluten irritates the sensitive cloud layers producing the same endless downpour of a reaction that I'm currently experiencing sat in a caravan in north Wales. Meanwhile, in tin hat land, an alternative hypothesis is forming, that gluten sensitivity itself causes rain, flooding, the loss...

I know you've tested negative for Celiac, but have you given the gluten free diet a try anyway? I tested negative, but my skin improved markedly once gluten-free. The other big dietary influence on skin for me at least is dairy. Keeping a food diary and excluding those may help you exclude them as factors?
