If your problems existed even when you were making your own home made sourdough bread, it’s an important bit of information. Though maybe you were eating loads of butter & cheese as it was so delicious.....

The problem was I was baking almost everyday of lockdown, bread and cake, and eating it all

. Didn't help my digestion system or my weight.

If you have such a craving for bread, I'll bet it's a gluten/wheat problem.

My wife is gluten intolerant & makes her own sour dough, it is wonderful bread. Her starter is over 3 years old & has kept it going perfectly well during caravan holidays & even a 3 month stay in our van whilst renovating our new home.
Beware of commercial "sourdough", lots of places dont make it properly & use yeast so the gluten is still a problem.

Hi, I had my sourdough starter for over a year. Until I stopped baking for the gluten issues. I might start again. Thanks

Be careful when buying GF foods - are you coeliac - well you don't know yet - if you are wheat intolerant you will need to buy wheat free not just gluten free - check the ingredients if it only says gluten free, Schar waffles are an example of this. Coeliacs can tolerate 20ppm gluten which if you are wheat intolerant, you can't. Oats are usually lumped into the mix because they are usually on a line with wheat and cross contamination can happen. Gluten free oats = better but still some people can't tolerate avenin therefore don't eat oats. Barley unfortunately is in loads of stuff too.

Anyway best advice is make your own stuff but best bread is warburtons gf seeded and the schar ciabatta and paninis are good. Asda pasta is almost as cheap as muggle pasta - about 50p.

A lot of pre made stuff is full of unpronounceable chemicals - do we really know what this stuff is doing to us plus a lot of sugar too.

If you're on facebook I'd highly recommend everyone join becky excell gluten free group - fantastic recipes most of which either are or can be dairy free and she gives vegan options. She's got a couple of books too on Amazon.

Thanks, I'll check the fb page. Not sure what exactly the problem is as I've not been tested and who knows when that will be done. I do know that all the symptoms have gone since I started my gluten free diet but must admit if it says gluten free I buy it, I didnt know gluten free could still have wheat.

I was advised to try the low fodmap diet by my doctor. All tests showed normal but I was constantly bloated, stomach ache, feeling sick, urgent need for loo and not as it should be. Had got progressively worse for about 5 years.

For me it has made a massive difference. It’s very limiting but you slowly introduce foods back and see what causes a problem. For me wheat, onion, garlic and chocolate turned out to be things I cannot tolerate. Generally processed food to a degree too.

Asda is a good tip as their free from stuff is often the same price as the forbidden stuff, unlike say Tesco.

A lot of the free from alternatives are not quite as nice as their equivalents but the improvement in symptoms makes it worth it. The upside it has forced a healthier diet on me, unprocessed meat and veg is what my system seems to like best.

I agree, it has made me look at my diet. I did have a fairly good diet before anyway as we don't eat a lot of processed food but I also liked some rubbish and was very fond of bread and cake. I feel much better the last couple of weeks. As an aside, there seems to be positive progress with eating establishments in relation to people's dietary considerations. I have eaten out twice in the last week or so and both pubs told me to choose from the menu and they would try to adapt my meal to gluten free, which they did. Great service.

Yes that’s very true on the eating out options available now. Whether at a local pub or national chain there is always plenty of choice and they are happy to cater around needs. Probably would not have been the case years ago. Likewise our diet was always pretty good but biscuits were my weakness! The gluten free ones are a bit crumbly but I’ve switched to snacking on nuts and raisins instead and it’s always porridge for breakfast instead of cereals. I have oak milk which luckily I find really tasty, nicer than the skimmed milk we always had before. I get Olpro yoghurt but eat hard cheese still for the calcium intake.

As well as the tummy issues I’ve had something called cold urticaria for a couple of years, where your skin has an allergic reaction to the cold. It’s not really understood but seems to be immune system related, so I’m hoping that maybe sorting out the diet could have an overall benefit on my system and if it’s not fighting gluten all the time maybe the cold urticaria will calm down with the change.

A lot of it depends on your severity - you may find ancient grains like spelt, which are lower in gluten - will lower your gluten enough your issues will ease but still allow you a wider range of food.

Thanks. Problem is without paying for expensive tests it really is just a try it and see scenario. I've not been brave enough yet to try any gluten products.
