    Gluten causes me anxiety as well as depression, brain fog etc. This paper outlines some of the ways that gluten impacts on mental health: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3641836/

    Hi and welcome There's a good discussion on this topic here: Omission beer is brewed like normal gluten beer and then an enzyme is added to break the proteins down. It tests below 20ppm but some react to it nonetheless. There are concerns about the validity of the testing process, some larger fragments may be enough to set off a reaction. I don...

    Hi I wound up in that grey zone following a negative endoscopy, which came as a massive surprise as I'd gone back on gluten for the test and experienced a big reaction. My GI consultant told me the scope was negative for celiac but that based on my response he thought I should be gluten free for life, needless to say I agreed with him having experienced...

    Hi and welcome Corn starch is fine, but most soy sauce contains gluten and it's widespread in chinese cooking. So they're rarely the best places to eat if you're sensitive. This may be of use. It may also be worth clarifying with the doctor what result you had on the original test. You mention allergy and celiac tests, the two are...

    Hi Andy and welcome to the forum I found removing gluten and adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet the single best thing that I've ever done for tackling my depression, but I've also come to realise that for me at least it doesn't mean that depression can't still take hold. Other things help, definitely supplementing with decent B complex, multi...

    Hi Christine, You may want to ask this on a separate topic if you want more replies, but in the meantime how are you with dairy? Could be food poisoning and cross contamination is one possibility but there will be dairy in the gluten-free pizza and after a few years gluten-free I've only recently realised that dairy isn't just something I need to mostly...

    For quite a long time I didn't have any cereals as I didn't seem to take to them too well. I noticed both cereals and gluten-free bread seemed to be difficult to digest. The saving grace for me was switching to omelettes. I fill them with any of onions, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, avocados, bacon etc. They're filling, nutritious and help set me up for the...

    I was very unsettled for weeks after going gluten-free, stomach was very noisy etc. You may want to share some details of your current diet. Have you replaced the gluten foods with processed gluten-free foods? Are you eating oats? Dairy? Some struggle with these, at least at first.

    It's a new one for me. I'm going to try and make more things from first principle this year, proper baking etc. So I'll maybe give one of these a try once I'm in the swing of things. As for the casein revelation. Well I've spent the past few days eating some gluten-free mince pies, pudding and cake, all of which had trace elements of dairy, butter, milk...

    You're most welcome and thank you for your kind words Everyone here has gone through their own, very individual battles and come through the other side. Take strength from that too. I spent a lot of time reading the stories on this forum and learning about some of the weirder manifestations of gluten on the body that I'd not even realised were connected...

    You have a great attitude towards this and that's going to help you so much. You will find yourself having to advocate for yourself, maybe make some difficult decisions sometimes that displease other people. That's not such a bad thing despite the fact that many of us are raised to be people pleasers. Sometimes you need to stand up for yourself and...

    Are they like the coffee flavours you can get? I had this one ages ago https://www.nextdaycoffee.co.uk/store/monin-flavoured-coffee-gift-set-5-mini-bottles-996?source=Froogle&gclid=CjwKCAiAj53SBRBcEiwAT-3A2Nl76wzsANi-51lY1suz1OsPDIfmFreYSeCm245hkjNLs0fqveAbSxoC_VMQAvD_BwE

    Do you use them in say milk shakes or in baking? I've used vanilla essence, things like that, but never bubblegum or cantaloupe! I don't bake much, today I made a gluten-free cake from a pre bought mix which is cheating I guess. I may try and do something from first principles in the new year. I've had some success before making paleo brownies with coconut...

    Welcome You've found a good place, lot's of people who understand just how big a discovery this is for you. When I realised I had a problem with gluten it felt like the climax of an Indiana Jones movie where the mystery is finally solved, or perhaps the moment you solve the biggest jigsaw puzzle of your life... It's very difficult to communicate...

    They are labelled gluten free here in the UK and I've had them without problem. Of course please don't assume that applies to other territories!

    Eating gluten gives me horrible chest pains where it feels like I'm having a heart attack, crippling back pain that causes constant pain, it causes tics under my eyes and my muscles to twitch uncontrollably, I get rashes on my skin, scales and sores on my scalp, I get constipation/diarrhea, foul smelling wind, stomach cramps that feel like someone reached...

    Apologies Karen I thought I was quoting Steeb122, not sure what happened there.

    I got this https://www.wallsswedishglace.co.uk/ which is made from soy, I doubt Ben and Jerry are quaking in their boots but it's cold and tastes of vanilla so it's not the end of the world. There's a lemon dairy free 'cheesecake' on sale in asda I think also, but that is a million miles away from cheesecake as I know it. i will have to dig out my paleo...

    Not at all Professor, please don't apologise, as always I'm bowled over by the kindness you show in trying to help. I'm just having a bit of a moan, it's what English people do, it's our special talent and I'm almost at professional level. Thanks to everyone that's replied. Quick update. I filled a big bag of gluten-free foods with milk or dairy trace...

    Hi and welcome I went through the challenge and was astonished to get a negative biopsy at the end. I had symptoms that abated on a gluten-free diet and returned during the challenge period and was sure I'd found the reason for a multitude of health issues... and then... negative! So I know something of how you feel. The good news for me is that removing...

    This is potentially huge. The summary Admin linked doesn't have much detail so I'll post this from the full article on Reuters Health:

    Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy new year! Best wishes and seasons greetings from a rather mild and evenjoy unseasonal sunny UK

    Hi Trina, like Karen says your case sounds more like what I thought I had, an intolerance to lactose, especially the bloating. Maybe you will get dairy back in time? Many do. I'm beginning to think I've lost it for keeps.

    Like all the best things I'm aware of Moo. Almost bought their advent calendar till I realised I'm not 8 years old...

    I'm across the pond in the UK so our products are different, but there's no shortage of safe snacks, I just need to change some of them for milk free versions. Yeah I read about this case a few years ago: https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/soys-negative-effects I don't have a hell of a lot, nothing in teas or coffees, a rice / coconut based milk...
