Thanks for the reply TiV and apologies for the late response. Still waiting for my biopsy results after my scope for over a month now.

~Hi TiV, thanks for your message. No I don't have black stool or any blood. I would describe my stool as sticky though since I went gluten-free, mostly neither loose or firm and I have seen some mucus now and again ~(before & after going gluten-free), but not frightening amounts and am wondering if that is more of an IBS type symptom. After I gave up...

Fell off the gluten-free wagon starting with Fish & Chips last week, Veggie Burger in a bun last Friday & few biscuits while out with the family over the weekend. I also had a toasted sandwich 2 days ago, it was sourdough bread but probably made with wheat and not Spelt which I know I can tolerate. Result being I feel like I'm back to square...

Just as an update, it is now 2 months and I've been avoiding all Wheat and Gluten. The only thing I have eaten in that category is Spelt Sourdough toasted. It seems to be something I and others also can tolerate when other breads are out of the question. Some observations. I've not woken once with a stomach ache since stopping and it was a regular thing....

However I have cut right down on my breads and other wheat containing foods since my original posts and am symptom free at the moment so don't know what to think. Without some kind of formal diagnosis I'm guessing I am just very...

Well, I called the doctors today and was told all my bloods are normal and are marked 'no further action required'. This is including the test for Celiac. Not sure what to think now. My condition has improved somewhat 1 week since I have been avoiding all bread and gluten containing foods that I can determine. I think I may try to stay off it for a while...

Thank you for the replies. I have booked a doctors appointment for Monday and will ask if I can have a blood test. I have always suffered from a degree of bloating after food for as long as I can remember but I just learned to live with it and thought it was probably normal. Constantly undoing button of trousers while sitting down at my desk in the office...

Hi all, new here and am hoping for some advice or to hear from people with a similar experience. In brief I have been having gradually worsening symptoms for about 6 months (but have been avoiding over eating wheat based products for about a year due to being suspicious after having minor problems). 1st noticed when I have certain foods, feel terrible...
