How in the world does anyone get a job as a nurse, if they don’t know the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes? For a school nurse, it is very dangerous not to be fully up to date with this knowledge. If this had happened to my own children, I would have been straight up to the school...

Sounds good to me! Thank you.

I sympathise with you. What a lot of people don’t realise is you can can false negative blood results for Coeliac disease, but having an endoscopy and biopsies is more reliable, which I have had. I know exactly what you mean about being ‘glutened’ and it’s horrible. Some people don’t get...

Thank you, that is very useful advice. I will find it hard finding gluten free crackers which don’t have dairy or soya (intolerant to both), but I will have a look. Avocados for breakfast sounds good; not sure there’s any sunflower seed bread that are gluten free. At the present my bread is...

Thank you, that is a really useful recipe. I was expecting it to have gluten in until I clicked the link; I was very pleasantly surprised :)

Yes, this is why I’m struggling, because I absolutely have to eat gluten free. Coeliac disease is an auto immune disease which does serious damage to the gut if you eat gluten, and it’s very dangerous to eat gluten if you have it, so it’s a little. Ore than a gluten intolerance. I also cannot...

Quite possibly, it my diet isn’t that straight forward. Thanks though. [emoji4]

At the moment I’m going through a transitionary period as I’ve just introduced meat into my diet as I was also wondering about my vitamin B12 levels and iron - I have Coeliac disease and before I was diagnosed I had very low ferritin levels which also caused the shakes, because my body wasn’t...

Hi, thank you for replying. The problem is I’m not sure, that’s why I plan to visit the doctor, but I suspect it is, as it seems the energy isn’t getting to my muscles from my food. I had 2 slices of toast this morning and after 90 mins it was 10.7 I waited another 35 mins and it went up to...

Hi all, haven’t post on here for a long time. I’ve managed my glucose levels for more than 10 years with diet and exercise, but recently my levels have been creeping up and have not been able to get my levels down below 7 before eating. One of the questions I’d like to ask, is has anyone had...

Judging by this thread, I'm not the only one with stomach cramps whilst taking Metformin. I have Coeliacs disease as well and wasn't sure at first what was causing the problem. I was originally on the ordinary Metformin and started having problems and my doctor has put me on the slow release...

Just joined the forum and seen this post. I had severe nausea when I first started metformin but I too suffered with sore legs and weak muscles. The doctor told me it wasn't related and that was it. I stopped taking the metformin and after a week or so, the muscle soreness and weakness...
