Hi Chris, have you been eating quorn since diagnosis? I emailed them last month and asked if their products were gluten free and they repled no they weren't....
hi Chris if its any comfort, your feelings are quite typical of men I have met who were lacking in symptoms when diagnosed. You also sound somewhat depressed...
... I was going to ask about Quorn - I'd noted it contains no gluten-containing ingredients, but also that it's not claimed to be suitable for coeliacs. I had...
About quorn, some of the brands have wheat in them others do not. Here in Sweden where I live I always check the labels very carefully when buying corn. The...
It's always a steep learning curve for a newbie as there is so much to remember. I remember being ill for weeks once and then finding out the culprit was malt...
Hi Chris I’m not completely veggie – I used to be – but as I’m also lactose intolerant I would have to be a gluten free vegan, so I do eat a little ...

These two things could be the problem. Many rice bases cereals contain barley malt extract or maltodextrin, which can triiger coeliac. And if you are not...

Hi Anna, Stupidly, perhaps, I assumed that as this medication was prescribed in direct response to my condition it would be gluten free. I prefer not to read...
Thanks Liz, That is really valuable advice - I'll give it a try. By coincidence I was in my local health food shop today and very nearly bought a packet of...
Hi again Chris I used to think that too but quickly realised that many doctors doesn't even consider the fact that there could be gluten in pills :( Oh of ...
