I was so pleased to see that Coeliac UK now have Caroline Quentin to help spread the word. She was brilliant on ITV's 'This Morning' programme a few weeks ago. :)dairyfreebabyandmehttp://www.dairyfreebabyandme.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820634105388649430.post-25993533492852040522015-05-18T13:31:38.513+01:002015-05-18T13:31:38.513+01:00Thank you and thanks for the advice!

I know too many people who may well have coeliac disease but have decided to go it alone rather than face testing and, like you, have found the symptoms from that point onwards are far worse when they eat gluten than they were before. I was diagnosed coeliac in 2003, several months after a bout of food poisoning from which I never seemed to fully recover. My Dad had already been diagnosed a few years earlier, so I was diagnosed quickly (FP in March, diag September), but I'm not sure how I would have coped if I had given up gluten without proper testing. If/when you do go through the six-week challenge (they need a new name. It sounds like a game show), try to make sure you can lie down a lot. Sometimes, when I was gurgling and rumbling away, laying on my right side was the only thing that helped me feel a little better. And remember, it's worth it in the long run for the level of support you get as a diagnosed coeliac (if you are). <br /><br />Vikki Cook <br />www.glutenfreebournemouth.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416037252171458522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820634105388649430.post-60307042949921013912015-05-18T07:36:20.872+01:002015-05-18T07:36:20.872+01:00This was also my experience, it is very frustratin...This was also my experience, it is very frustrating. I wish that I had been tested for coeliac disease when my symptoms were at their worst. I completely agree that there is no good time to reintroduce any food that is giving you symptoms once you have stopped eating it.<br />It is positive that Coeliac UK and Allergy UK are working so hard to educate both the public and importantly the medical profession to stop this happening in the future.Emma Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593736553489838630noreply@blogger.com
