Hi,
I'm currently carrying out a GCSE food technology project in England on the gluten-free diet and I was wondering whether anybody out there who follows this diet could answer a few questions for me:
*Do you have any difficulties with e.g. ready made meals, eating out etc.?
*What qualities do you look for from a gluten free product?
*Do you have any preferences for the meals you eat e.g. what nutrients you want?
*What foods do you want to eat but can't?
Thanks everyone,
Laura

Eating out is always a problem as you are never quite sure what is in the meal. Wheat flour can get into almost anything - including chips!

Ready-made meals are difficult because wheat/gluten masquerades under many other names (eg modified starch). Sainsbury's and Tesco are now labelling shelves and own-brand products as gluten-free or containing wheat, cow's milk etc, so shopping is becoming easier.
Eating out involves double-checking with the chef (waiting staff don't often know how the food is made). For a special meal, it's worth checking ahead with the restauarnt that there will be adequate selection on that evening's menu. Good restaurants don't mind making things to order, but many 'chain' restaurants don't have the flexibility.
Gluten-free products should taste just like the real thing. It's almost as bad as not being able to eat something at all when you try some of the filth they put on the market.
The things I miss are simple things like sandwiches, although in London, a select few shops are now making a limited range of wheat-free sandwiches (if you fancy travelling and paying the price). Corn/maize pasta is pretty good (especially if you find an Italian-made brand), but fresh ravioli is nowhere to be found.
Not being able to eat wheat used to make me very depressed, so much so that I felt like crying when I was doing my food shopping. Things have got markedly better as awareness (therefore product availability) has grown and the Internet is a great help as well. But you have to keep your eyes peeled for new products and get all your friends and family to keep a loaf of wheat-free bread in their freezer for when you visit. There's nothing like the smell of toast

laura,
All my life i have had to live, on and off, on a gluten free diet,(constanstly from aged 5 until 17 when i rebeled) having been diagnosed as a ceoliac at the age of 5/6? about 1963/4.
i was used as a guinee? pig for about 7 years by the specialist Dr Mosely at St Marys Hospital Portsmouth, hants, im not sure, but i belive, we were the first family to have two ceoliac's in the same family.
As for your questions the foods and products available now are getting better and, more people and manufactures are aware of the food requirements, this is a lot of the reason why i can say i can live on or off the diet... a bit of a remmission.
Still can't eat pizzas without taking 3 days to recover.........
When i was first put on the diet i was not able to eat bread, cakes ,sweets, sugar, cereals, milk, any tinned or proceesed food, and there were virtuatly NO products available for sale, god bless my mum she really tried, but unfortunatly no matter how she tried, back then, providing for a gluten free diet was wheat starch for cooking and fruit, meat and veg, (lucky i liked them)
The diet has got a lot better and in fact, some resturants now have gluten free options on the menu, but i cant go out and eat food like most, i know that if im invited out for meals, rather than put the host under unbealiveable pressure to provide for my diet, I'll accept that i'll have the s***s for the next three day.
Laura, probably not the answer your looking for but its honest

I have been told I have Celiac. It is life long diet that one should not cheat on. The diease goes into remission if you stay on the diet. Eating out is a real challenge. You never what the chef has put into the food. It is best to stick with plain cooked meats and potatoes. Take your own dressing for the salads.
Going to the grocery store is a real nightmare. You have to read every label for gluten free ingrediants, and the list of possibilitys are endless.
I really crave sweets, donuts, pie ,cake, candy ect. all the snack foods.
I hope that helps.

Hi Laura,
I was diagnosed with coeliac disease only one year ago after years of pain. Just after starting my gluten-free diet I felt so happy and energetic, I could wake up early in the morning and do sport every day without feeling fatigue. Even though the diet implied giving up nice food, the physical energy I discovered in me compensated for that. I really miss pizza, gnocchi, lasagne and especially freshly baked bread and croissants...
After a year I realise that coeliac disease improved my health, but made my social life really difficult. Eating out is always very risky, and I advise you to join the local group of the Coeliac Society in the UK for information on local restaurants supplying gluten-free food. If you are invited for dinner at a friend's, make him/her aware of your condition, you will see that they will be happy to meet your dietary requirements. You can help them by bringing your own bread or sauces with you. Also, I always keep gluten-free snacks in my handbag when I travel, as it is not easy to find gluten-free food in train stations or airports. By the way, if you like shopping like I do, IKEA and John Lewis stores have restaurants and bars supplying delicious gluten-free cakes...shopping and cakes...what a nice combination!.
Hope this useful!!! Grazia

I have had Celiac since I was an infant....I did not know about the disease growing up, so, consequently, I ate everything....I was always sick, but did not know why.In addition to this disease, I have several food allergies, including a big one, I cannot ever, ever, and have never eaten, EGGS....or poultry....or turkey....So, therefore eating out, even eating home is a big deal....The only way out, is to prepare everything myself....from scratch...Also, I find that the celiac way of life, made me gain weight.....(besides dealing with menopause)....I was eating lots of potatos and rice and corn....now, I am afraid to eat those foods, because of gaining weight...
So, consider yourselves lucky....
Have a great day...

Hello,
I am also currently doing G.C.S.E. coursework on the gluten-free diet and i also wondered
* Do you think there is a good variety of gluten free products in restaurants, shops etc?
* Do you find it difficult to maintain a healthy/nutritious diet?
Thank you

I am still totally frustrated.....No eggs, no poultry, no wheat, rye, barley and oats....If I eat things with salt, I retain water....if I eat too many carbs, I gain weight.....After a while, one can get crazy with all of these restrictions.....In addition, if I eat alot of tomatos, or tomato products, I get serious heartburn....
Sometimes, I do not feel like cooking...but, the options are very slim....Amy's has a few products that are gluten free...but, they are spicey and with lots of tomato sauce....If I had my way, I would eat meat and potatos, and salad....but, we all know that is not practicable....I have found stores that sell cookies and crackers....and also, found many, many websites to do gluten free shopping....But, most of the gluten free food has eggs....(of course, I am aware of the egg free products)...I would like to order everything, but that would mean gaining lots of weight....
Sometimes, I wake up and literally do not know what to eat.....
Yes, I would admit, I have much issues with eating....
Thanks for listening...

I have recenlty started a gluten free and dairy free diet,... I mainly stick to fruit, veg meat and fish,... I have rice cakes instead of bread, rice/soya milk instead of cows milk... but dont really enjoy soya milk dont really like the taste!!!
I do feel very limited sometimes ,.. especially when eating out, the choices are not great in menu's, I have to take gluten free pasta with me to some places, and have to ask what is in in food, (sometimes I feel really crappy when all my friends are eating chocolate cake, ice-cream etc for dessert and I have to sit there with a choice of melon or a fruit etc)... lucky for me the make gluten and dairy free chocolate and cakes in the supermarket because I have a sweet tooth :O)
The Supermarckets provide foods for all different kinds of diet, they have a gluten and dairy free range in tesco.Even Walkers crisps let you know which crisps are suitable for celiacs... making me feel like there is a chioce of things to eat. as for ready meals,... I havent seen many that are suitable.
Nutrition,... I feel that this is a very well balanced diet ,... not as much junk to eat ( pizza, McD's etc) and I'm getting all my vitamins etc from the meat, fish, fruit and veg, I feel healthier overall...!
I dont know if this will help you at all,... but hope it will ... Jenn

My son who is 12 was diagnosed with coeliac just a week before christmas 2003.
He is also diabetic on insulin since he was 4.
shopping and trying to balance the foods is difficult, and going out to eat is even harder because I find people in the food industry do not have enough knowledge about coeliac.
They will prepare a gluten free meal for you but how do we know it has not been contaminated eg,
same knife in differant butter dish,gluten free bread in ordinary toaster you get the picture of what I am on about

Hi, I'm on a wheat-free, gluten-free diet. I feel so much better now that all the pain has gone so I never knowingly eat my "forbidden foods". Going to friend's houses poses no problems because I take my own foodstuffs with me to make it easier for my hosts. Sainsburys and Tescos have extensive gluten-free ranges so the choice is getting better, but a lot of the food is too expensive. I resent paying say £1.85 for spaghetti when the normal stuff is about 50p. Life's unfair enough for us coeliacs without making us pay more for unadulterated food. OK, I love Walker's crisps as my snack food. Luckily for me, I like eating meat, dairy products and vegetables, Indian meals, Thai food so I have quite a varied diet within my limitations.
I don't eat out socially any more. I can't take the risk. I used to wonder why I was ill after eating chips. Chips = potatoes in my book. Then another coeliac told me that most chips were coated in flour and then fried in a blend of oils including wheatgerm. In some restaurants they coat steaks and roast potatoes with flour during the cooking process. Some staff won't tell you the truth what's in your food either because they want to make a sale or because they're afraid of upsetting a potential customer. I'm young enough at 28 to socialise by just going out to the pub without the worry about food. At the end of the day, I have to look after number one and I explain this to people who question why I eat different food to them.

Hi Laura,
I have read all the responses to your question and will say that all of the accounts are accurate and I indeed relate to many of the opinions expressed.
I myself have been diagnosed twice with Coeliac Disease, which is a term that annoys me, as it suggests that those of us that are sufferers are seriously ill.
The facts are simple, this condition is and can be a very serious affliction if abused ,or left untreated, but if a strict diet is adhered too rigidly the symptoms become virtually non existent and a completely normal life is easy, with the exception of a few minor adjustments on the part of the sufferer.
Yes I indeed share some of the sendiments expressed by my fellow sufferers, that meals can be tricky to buy and resturants are a lottery when trying to avoid the dreaded wheat protein "gluten" so detrimental to we poor coeliacs. But please don`t get the impression that we are anything, but unfortunate sufferers of an allergy and that is all it is, an allergy to gluten, as hayfever is an allergy to pollen, just a simple genetic hiccup .
I wish you well in your research and would certainly advise you to visit the Coeliac Society web site, which is absolutely jam packed with all the information you require for your forthcoming GCSE, which I am sure you will do well with.
Mark

Hello, in reference to your query, ive jotted down what its like to be a ceoliac, hope it helps you course!
well ive been a ceoliac for 20 years, i was diagnosed when i was 2. I remember through my childhood, having to stand and wait at resteraunt doors, while my parents ask whats on the menu, and the name of the catering company, while fiddling through the gluten free directory. Having many disapointments through the years, at parties and events, where i just had to sit and watch people eat. I have to admit though, over the years things are alot better for ceoliacs, there is more choice of food, although not really much on the healthy side. Being ceoliac means you eat alot of carbohydrate filled foods, and most of the pre prapared gluten free products are very high in fat. This is due to the addition of calciumated ingrediants, with fat as a binder, as many ceoliacs and dermatitis herpepiformus sufferers are prone to osteoporosis. Ready meals are usually a waste of time, if i do find one that is gluten free, i find it lacks taste, as i am used to having fresh homebaked foods. When i eat out, i tend to go to resteraunts that do steak, or roast chicken. Fast food resturaunts are practicly evil, theres not much point even trying to find something gluten free, and also i have to ensure that what i eat has alot of nutritional value. Personally i tend to opt for vegetables when it comes to getting nutrients and vitamins, as they are all gluten free and there is a wider variety on the market today, than when i was a child.
The facters i look for in a gluten free product, would first be price, as buying the products is very costly, so i usualy bake my own bread which works out cheaper. Secondly is freshness, gluten free bread for example is usually hard enough to bang nails with, and as dry as a summers day, so the fresher it is, the more likely it is to be deemed edible. And i guess the third would be choice, i would like to try new things, although i dont often buy new gluten free products, as sadly to say i am also a fusspot when it comes to food!
And finally, i would love to eat macaroni cheese, soft sandwiches, battered fish and all the chocolate brands!
I hope it helps, sorry if ive waffled on!
good luck in your GCSES!!

I'm sick of food. Although I have to watch my weight I have to watch my health. I was told I had Ceoliac about 4 to 5 years ago. I still don't get it right. Sometimes I cheat but the only thing I get is mouth ulcers and blisters on my hands. Since having this problem I crave chocolate which I never bothered with before. Before this I enjoyed my food and social life. All I seem to do is think of food and what to have. I know I sound a right misery but this is how it has made me feel. If anyone has any suggestions to get me out of this rut about food please advise.

Do's and Don't's while there.
It will be much appreciated, as not much info available.

To Linda ref.,522 (and anyone else listening)
You don't give your age, but come on, join something. Learn to speak Spanish,take dancing lessons, find out if you can sing, paint, draw, do wood-carving- the list is endless. You will meet Lovely People, make hosts of new friends, and your Social Life will take off at a great rate,
If you still have time to spare, how about volunteering to help someone-eg
local children's hospice etc. Lot's of people out there also feeling desperate -
help each other!
Believe me - sharing your worries DOES work. I'm old enough to know what I am talking about, and have brought up a good-sized family.
Stick to the diet though - it's really worth it. How about learning to cook - lots of great gluten-free recipes available.
Good luck

Hi LM
The good news is that the IBS should clear up on a completely gluten-free diet.
Start with reading up what you can eat:
http://www.peter-thomson.co.uk/messageboard/coeliac-celiac/what_you_can_eat.htm
and make sure that you have a clear idea of what you must not eat:
http://www.peter-thomson.co.uk/glutenfree/black_list_.html
Then look here to for loads of ideas about meals and cooking gluten-free:
http://www.peter-thomson.co.uk/glutenfree/index.html
It is a good, healthy diet with lots of tasty things to eat.

dear laura my granddaughter is four months old her mother is coeliac but her father is not we were told by the doctors that she has a fifty,fifty chance of being coeliac,we decided that when it became time to spoon feed her it would be a gluten free. The problem is we could not find anything in the breakfast range let me be more specific there are no cereals that are gluten free there is just fruit and the choice is very limited for babies from four to six months. hope this helps

Hi there, Good luck with your GCSE.
I was diagnosed in November 2006 with coeliac disease, having been really quite ill for over 5 years.
I do not find it difficult sticking to a gluten free diet when I am at home. I would never eat anything containing gluten knowingly because I know full well how ill I can get, and how very, very tired I used to be. I have always been a keen cook and have always made all food that my family and I eat from scratch using the best ingredients I can get. So in a sense I am ahead of the game because I know how food is made and know where there can be gluten lurking, i.e. in soy sauce, mayonnaise, some chocolates etc. and know to be aware of food containing these ingredients. My family are happy to eat gluten free food as well if I for instance decide to bake a cake, I will use gluten free flour.
However, it is difficult sticking to a gluten free diet when eating out, you are at the mercy of the chef and hotel staff. They may not know that there can be gluten in chocolate and soy etc and will tell you that the food is OK to eat, when it actually is not. They may not be terribly bothered either. I was in Japan recently and felt really well there. The Japanese diet of rice and fish and seaweeds suited me very well, and they were very good at telling me if anything contained soy sauce or other gluten contaminated food items. (You can get gluten free soy sauce, but they do not usually use that in restaurants). (The restaurants knew in advance that I was coming, this helps, it is never a good idea just to turn up somewhere).
I was in London last weekend and was very ill while being there, not quite sure what I had eaten, I did drink one can of Coke, and I had an email sent to me this week to say that one should be aware of any caramel coloured foods as they can contain gluten.
What worries me is not just the upsets I get when eating gluten, but the damage it does to the intestines, and as a consequence thereof the poor absorption of nutrients from the food eaten and the increased risk of cancer of the intestines etc.
There is not really anyhting I cannot have to eat, there is gluten free pasta, cakes, bread and there is a lot of really nice food which is safe to eat. I love a good healthy salad for lunch and I am very fond of rice and potatoes. So really I am very happy being on the gluten free diet as it certainly has improved my health. I am hoping I will be able to tolerate oats. I will be allowed to try oats after 6 months on the gluten free diet.
Hope this helps. Will be happy to answer more questions.
Kate

Hi Laura, you have probably sat and passed your exams by now, but thought I would reply anyway. I was diagnosed with ceoliace disease a couple of years ago and find it so frustrating.
You can't just go for something to eat as most places don't cater but things are getting better more foods are available, although the bread is a bit iffy still, and things are so expensive £2.79 for 4 pitta breads for example. (If it were n't for the things on prescription it would be too expensive to eat properly) Fortunately I can bake, and make all my breads, cakes and most of my biccys myself, I can now produce a good 3 course meal completely Gluten/wheat free not even my hubby and kids object to eating,. would like to cook for other Ceoliacs or provide a baking service. It would be good if we could get an allowance to help with our diets or make the products tax free or something. Maybe speak to local governments and get someone behind us.
I really crave a bit fat bacon roll, or fruit dumpling/black pudding/with my fry up or a hot dog with onions ooooh there are so many things that I did not appreciate before.
Thanks and Good Luck Mags

I am considering self-publishing a book with which is about what life is like being an alternative therapist. I wondered what you thought of AuthorHouse as a publisher. Were you satisfied with their service?
Many thanks for your help

I suffered severe pain for almost 20yrs. eventually the doctors removed my gallbladder 4yrs.ago thinking i would be pain free after that, that only lasted about a month,the pain is so severe at times i could just give up on life itself.Recently i was at my local hospital to see a consultant who told me of my condition,not only celiac disease i'm anneamic and have i.b.s can it get any worse,when i asked him about the pain he said i'd have to live with it,as i am on dyhidracodine for athritis,but when i get an attack from the ibs and celiac i'm doubled in two surely they cant leave me like this the rest of my life,i'm 51 as we get older we cant handle the pain like we used to.There's been nights i've been in so much pain i get up at 2 and three in the morning so i dont waken my husband,he's so supportive i dont know what i'd do without him,surely if i call a doctor out of hours he could give me an injection for the pain when its at its worse,i'm at my wits end on this i could really do with some advise on what to do when i'm in so much pain,,i'd rather have ten kids the labour goes after you give birth but this pain is totally controlling my life.any advise on what to do would be truly appreciative.Anna Mallon West Lothian,Scotland.

You have to stick to a completely gluten-free diet. Once you are completely gluten-free then there should be no pain caused by gluten.
You may find that symptoms of IBS also start to reduce as your gut starts to heal itself. The IBS may have been caused by the reaction to gluten.
You may also find that the arthritis starts to improve as this can also be a symptom of gluten damage.
Your anaemia may also simply be the result of the damage that gluten has done to your gut.
So provided that you stick to a completely gluten-free diet you should see a reduction in your problems, but it may take several months for the full benefit to become clear.
