Hi All :)

I just got diagnosed (age 26) after about 6 months of feeling like a walking zombie and having every test under the sun come back as normal. It was such a relief to know I have a condition I can do something about just with diet! I have created a blog in which I've listed the most helpful websites I've found for someone newly diagnosed, and also a list of places it is safe to eat and reviews of "free-from" food. Please visit :)

Hiya :) Thanks a lot. I'm going to use it to track my recovery too. I'm still eating gluten at the moment (in the lead up to my endoscopy biopsy) and am just checking out a few products in advance but soon I'll be fully fledged gluten-free and blogging more often!

Hey, your journey is so very similar to mine, except it took about three years to get diagnosed after a mystery virus.... Tiredness ...constant tiredness, aches and brain fog, with no idea how to make it stop... It's a pretty tough journey negotiating the first few months and what you can and can't have, but blogs like yours really help. Thanks for sharing it xxx

It's very good to have something out there that emphasises the tiredness side of it - I just randomly fell asleep at all points, and when I first worked out that that it might be gluten related all I could find online were accounts of people's digestive upsets, which I couldn't really relate to.

And thanks for the tip about the multivitamins - so many others are full of maltodextrin.
