Once you know you have to change your diet it gets progressively easier. Most of the major supermarkets are now selling a half decent range of GF products. I still struggle to find good bread. Does anyone have a good recipe that I can use in my breadmaker?

Two of my children have coeliac disease and the whole family have been tested. They get staple foods on prescription and the rest of us pretty much follow a gluten free diet too - and are so much healthier for it.

It's estimated that 1 in 100 people have coeliac disease, yet only 1 in 10 are diagnosed, so it's becoming more common as people are getting tested.

I think it's great that Tesco has publicised it's GF range at Christmas...it's the hardest time to cater for coeliacs

Hi Yes all of my family got tested too, but I am the only one with a problem. ASDA has got a good GF range this christmas, most of their own brand sausages are also GF but you do need to look for the GF logo in the front. Hope this helps.

Meeeeee!

It's not an intolerance, it's an auto-immune disease. The presence of gluten makes your immune system attack your digestive system.

Gluten is found naturally in wheat, barley & rye. Oats don't contain it but are generally contaminated by it.

I explained gluten intolerance to a GP I consulted once who told me I was a 'delusional hypochondriac'

I now see doctors in Belgium, who are far more sensible (& knowledgeable) about it.

Our grains in the UK are grown in such a way that some people's bodies just can't process them. If I only eat organically grown whole foods I can manage my health, if not, I may as well just lie in bed

Some beers & largers will also have a gluten content…I think Budweiser is brewed with rice though

I suggest you get yourself checked out. If you are Coeliac and you continue eating Gluten you will end up with Brittle Bone Disease!

That's actually a really ignorant statement to make to people suffering from coeliac disease - and yes I do mean suffering!

You won't have been 'inadvertently' totally gluten free just by cutting out carbs and processed food (unless you've been checking every product you buy, which I doubt), but any you may have eaten will have had no effect on you...to a coeliac a miniscule amount of a gluten-containing food can lead to crippling stomach pains, extreme sickness and diarrhoea, and even hospitalisation.

It's not easy, it's more expensive and it takes constant vigilance and care - but it is manageable and thankfully there's a lot of support for coeliacs now plus a wide range of products in supermarkets.

It's not a choice or fad like your diet but a critical and essential life change. Try engaging your brain and doing some basic research before you comment next time eh?

I didn't say I wasn't, did I? You're also assuming that none of my family or friends have it.

My diet is a critical life change too. If I ate yours, I would die a long, lingering, rotting death.

My point is if you base your diet on protein, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, dairy and good fat, you wouldn't need to check labels for overpriced food that nobody needs to eat.

If you desire something sweet or want to replace bread with something else, it's great that there are substitutes but you don't need them.

In the early days of my life change, I also searched frantically for substitute foods but I soon dropped them when I realised it was pointless.

- if you have it that badly you really need to see your doctor for tests and start taking action - it is actually dangerous to your health to leave it untreated if it is full blown celiac disease. Mrs x

A lot of scientists are now saying that for those of us that are gluten intolerant (not actual coeliac), the problem is possibly glysophate being sprayed on the fields as a drying agent (!!!

) and the residue that is then present in our bread. Mr and I switched to buying organic bread (when we occasionally want bread, and Waitrose sells a gorgeous organic loaf for only £1.59 as does Sainsburys) We don't feel too bad when we eat it. We also switched to kamut or spelt pasta from Italy (where they have banned glysophate) with equally good results. So those may be something for the intolerant to try if you aren't getting any joy out of the GF breads.

Diagnosed as Coeliac 18 years ago, it's not fun, cheap or pleasant and despite being ultra careful and reading all labels for ingredients I still get an upset stomach from time to time.

Dining out is a freakin nightmare as it reduces the cultural options and menu to the basics of meat, fish and vegetables if you're playing it safe as I do. Generally, despite the new laws regarding labeling items/dishes as GF or not, most establishments are ignorant, lazy or simply don't care, to the detriment of sufferers. I hope things change soon and food manufacturers manage to keep the parts per million as low as possible.

p.s. Bella-Donna... I think I love you but I also respect Topsy Rogers reply as you're both obviously highly intelligent and well informed women.

Mother of 2 coeliacs here & owner of a gluten free home baking business

Even if you test negative please ask for a retest. You will need to add gluten back in to your diet for at least 6 weeks prior to the test. ONLY a biopsy will confirm coeliac disease. If diagnosed you can then have certain staples on prescription. There is an awesome company that bake awesome bread (so the kids tell me) also the best donughts they have ever tasted. Please feel free to message me for the name (can't put it on here) Also, join some gluten free pages on the popular social media sites. They regularly post about places to eat out & there is a page dedicated to gluten free fish & chip shops nationwide. My kids had their first ever fish & chips by the sea last summer

Interesting bcos my GP argued with me about all of this…to the point that he called me a 'delusional hypochondriac'.

I now treat all GPs with the contempt that anyone who went to medical school but failed to manage to specialise in something deserves!

Immune function is split into separate functions of identifying a foreign body & then responding accordingly with histamine or white blood cells. My GPs cannot explain how this works bcos they didn't do this at medical school!?!

Anyway, I make my own bread with Spelt flour. The complex functioning of my immune system has been wonderful for my health & wellbeing bcos I cook almost everything entirely from scratch & grow my own organic veg. I don't have to watch my weight now & cooking & baking are part of my everyday routine & I can make super quality food for next to nothing & never crave junk food

Thank you for your post. Reintroducing gluten into your diet is exactly what we advise our patients prior to having a gastrostomy and a duodenal biopsy to determine coeliac disease. Once there is a positive result patients are then contacted by a dietician and food stuff can be obtained by prescription

Hi Ang

Sorry no actual advice on how not to lose weight, but are you registered with Coeliac UK? They offer great advice. I am sure somewhere on their website there will be an article on your plight.

Please don't dip out again from your diet, not a nag, just concerned as it will cause you huge problems in the future.

Thank you Star, lesson already learnt--- the hard way unfortunately.

I looked at joining celiac UK when I was first diagnosed but I was so overwhelmed by all the ' you can't have' food and found that what I could have tasted like cardboard that I have just muddled through and lapsed into a false sense of security when I felt well again. Will have another look at them--- now that I'm a bit older and wiser lol x

It was a massive life changer but once you get the hang of it it's not to bad. The good thing is its made me more aware of what I eat.

If it's processed leave it out. I do miss a pint of beer but cider has become a worthy substitute. 2 years on after years of mis diagnosis and feeling great.

Legislation also means most restaurants have a good understanding and if they don't or I doubt there knowledge I go somewhere else.

did you go gluten free through choice or was it from a medical diagnosis? It was quite difficult at first but it’s easy when I’m at home because everything in my kitchen is gluten free ...

One thing to remember if anyone is getting tested is you have to eat a normal diet containing gluten for 2 weeks prior to the test.

If you avoid gluten before the test it will always show negative.

Hi, my son has Coeliacs and I relearned cooking to insure he does not feel left out at dinner time (GF replacements for various ingredients etc.). I have yet to master a ‘light’ cake mixture, but he loves his pasta.

As an aside, Oats do not contain gluten, but you have to be aware of cross contamination in their production etc.

Given up on bread myself, but there are a few GF groups on a well known non swinging social media site, and people regularly post recipes there.

"Coeliac swinger here! If you ever did find a good bread recipe please do let me know, as I still haven’t found anything half decent

The new tesco gluten free posh looking loaf isn't half bad.

The Schar range is really good, but expensive and the loafs are small.

Ocado have more choice and they offer the M&S made without stuff too

"One thing to remember if anyone is getting tested is you have to eat a normal diet containing gluten for 2 weeks prior to the test.

If you avoid gluten before the test it will always show negative. "

It's actually 6-12 weeks as per Coeliacs UK. I was once told 2 weeks by my GP, but that info is just flatout wrong and the test will still show negative if you've been eating a GF diet and return to eating gluten for only 2 weeks. The only thing you'll succeed in by following that advice is making yourself ill for several weeks.

I know, but the kitchen in a takeaway place is cross-contamination Hell. Not worth it unless they're coeliac uk accredited. It's the normal noodles I miss anyway.

I'm intolerant and after a dull detox and complete abstention for a couple of years, I reintroduced it gradually in small quantities. My body soon lets me know when I've had enough.

Their own brand Tiger bread do you mean? I buy that most of the time. The nearest thing to normal bread I've found. Expensive though for so few slices, but worth it.

Me too, perhaps I better check whether the supply chain is fixed
