    A mistake that many of, myself included, made! Don't feel bad about it, feel good that you've at least identified a possible cause. I was faced with a similar choice a few years ago and opted to go back onto gluten for a 'challenge' to see if I had celiac. I kept a food diary during this time and tracked the reappearance of symptoms, some gastro intestinal...

    Hi, sorry to suggest removing yet another thing from the poor girl, but have you tried going completely milk free. So not just limiting lactose, but trialling a period with absolutely no dairy whatsoever? Reason being, lactose intolerance is only one of the two possible milk issues, the other is casein intolerance. I spent a long time allowing myself...

    That sense of your thoughts being in a non productive loop is a classic depression symptom I can certainly recognise! The good news is that those patterns you can fall into you can also train yourself to get out of. Some of the best results come from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT for short. You could try here: https://www.getselfhelp.co...

    Hi Lex, First step would be to eliminate celiac. Gluten is well established as the cause of celiac. If you eliminate celiac but still react to gluten foods then it becomes trickier. Non Celiac Gluten sensitivity NCGS is still not universally accepted and there are differing views on whether gluten, or another part of the grain may be causing symptoms...

    The better you can stick to the diet the better your healing should be. Try and make sure you always have a safe snack handy in case you're far from home. I guess you're far from home on a regular basis but you know what I mean! Try and heat as well as you can, especially in the first few months. Your body is probably starved of nutrition so eat well...

    I also tested negative for both. A food diary and gluten challenge established however that gluten and dairy was an issue. Can you eat eggs? They're a great source of protein and omelettes are a great way to introduce other foods too. I have a large omelette for breakfast stuffed with spinach or other veggies. Good way to start day. Search this...

    I had similar findings but was very surprised when the biopsy was negative. Nevertheless, the gluten-free diet resolved my symptoms. So do consider going gluten-free again once testing is done. Best of luck!

    Fun for the whole family this one... Think of the hospital visits saved! Play a fun game of guess the marsh level! Note, this may not be medically approved....

    Hi Joseph, It would be interesting to find out what you think glutened symptoms are? If you are thinking primarily digestive issues you would be wrong in the majority of cases. Some of the things I would wrongly have thought weren't gluten related before I removed it from my diet include back pain, trembling hands, cold feet, body sweats, nervous...

    YES! I'd forgotten about those, they are delicious I will keep eye out for the Costa mince pie, I was in there last week and it was packed because the Xmas drinks were out. Amazing to see how coffee culture has caught on over here. Hope you are soon feeling better Christiana

    Hi Jan and welcome First, have you joined Coeliac UK? Do consider it. Your son will qualify for reduced membership. They will send a book with safe supermarket foods listed, the none gluten free branded ones will save you a fortune. They will also put you in touch with Coeliacs in your area that can offer help and support. There's a page he may find...

    Yeah they looked fantastic didn't they? They had little mini stollen 'bites' some covered in chocolate Then there was the big stollen, which my family will be tucking into this xmas, maybe before the panetone. There were lots of other yummy looking things. BUT WE HAVE PUDDING So not all is lost!

    Aldi have their Christmas stuff out. They've got gluten free mince pies, I cheated and had one already, very nice... There's also gluten-free xmas puddings! Didn't cheat on that though. I have standards... Didn't see any gluten-free xmas cake though it shows one on their site.

    I occasionally go out to a pub. I no longer drink so I would have a black coffee. Occasionally I would get a dreadful stomach churning effect from it. I switched to soft drinks and then, again, got the stomach churning. Finally I got a straw and drank straight from the bottle. Stomach was fine... My conclusion is that I've become more sensitive...

    Hello and welcome It's difficult advising about NCGS as there's little firm evidence available. I've tried to collect the best of it here: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/117969-non-celiac-gluten-sensitivity-a-resource/ I'd recommend the Umberto Volta link. He talks in detail about NCGS and in particular his advice that NCGS patients need to...

    Austin was one of my favourite places when I was in the US. It has so much going for it.

    You could make a fortune sending them over to the US forum members! They're the stuff of LEGEND over there...

    Having given up all cereals at the time of going gluten free I was tempted back to the 'dark side' by Nestle. Their 'Go Free' range are delicious, excellent corn flakes and very good rice crispies (sorry Kelloggs, 'Pops' then) if I feel like a nostalgic return to childhood. One thing I like about them is the box size, design etc is very much akin to the ...

    Follow CL's good advice above, but if once you've followed through on any further testing if it's negative for celiac consider trialling the gluten free diet regardless. I suffered from all those things and more and tested negative, but they all cleared up once I removed gluten Good luck!

    Hi Lizzy and welcome I looked at photos of myself before removing gluten from my diet and was shocked by how puffy my face looked. I lost weight after going gluten-free quickly, I think most was water and maybe the swelling was also due to inflammation. If you're celiac or ncgs gluten can affect you in many different ways. One thing this forum...

    I had a negative blood test, but due to doctor not knowing about gluten it was probably invalid as I'd been gluten-free for some time and only went back on it for a week beforehand. My gastro then moved me straight to endoscopy on basis of symptoms and prior response to gluten-free diet. Endoscopy was negative after the challenge however, bar gastritis and...

    Hi To be honest with a positive endoscopy finding and response to the gluten free diet you've achieved the 'gold standard' for celiac and a level of certainty far in advance of many others here. Some celiacs test negative on blood, so endoscopy is more conclusive. That doesn't mean you can't have other things going on, maybe the hydrogen test is...

    There's nothing about gluten but those symptoms are listed as possible side effects here: https://www.drugs.com/mtm/preparation-h-suppositories-rectal.html

    Hello and welcome You've replied to an old post, Andrea was last on the forum 4 years ago so may not see this. Although not all is lost, others will see your post in the future if they're looking for a connection between the two.

    Yeah it looks lush does it not? Not tried it but it may go on my xmas list. Denmark has so many cool things...
