That time inbetween positive coeliac blood test and biopsy

[fortyfifty]

What should I eat that I will really miss?

I got my positive blood test almost 2 weeks ago. The appointment for the gastroscopy is just over a week away.

I've been diagnosed as a first degree relative following 20 year old dd's diagnosis last year. It's come as a shock but also, hopefully, explains a lot of symptoms I'd put down to perimenopause.

As I'm having to consume gluten before the biopsy, I've tried to go for things I know I'll miss or not easily be able to get or make gf. Now I'm panicked that I've forgotten something amazing!! If you have coeliac disease is there anything (other than convenience) you miss hugely?

all types of takeaway!

Donuts, really difficult to make gluten free ones

Crusty bread (I miss it so much!) I also really miss HP sauce and Malteasers/Mars bars. Oh! And beefy hula hoops 😍

Danish pastries

Crusty bread, proper French baguette! Go to restaurants that you know won't be safe to do so after the biopsy.

To be honest, I thought I'd miss a lot more than I have (diagnosed 5 years ago, and thought the same as you re: perimenopause)

DH misses KFC the most

Thanks. I had donuts and malteasers on my list. This weekend I've had or I'm having proper homemade pasta, homemade garlic bread, a BLT and a homemade shortcrust pastry pie. I'm eating things that I don't typically eat that often but it is sad knowing they will be forbidden.

If you like Chinese food, go to a Chinese restaurant! I haven’t set foot in one for 20 years. Don’t miss it that much but it’s never an option for me and I know some people love a Chinese!

The last thing I ever ate, on the morning of my endoscopy, was a huge bowl of shreddies!
Still miss them over a decade later 🙁

Naan bread!

Oh yes, we went out for Indian food on Friday and had naan bread. I've also been out for my last wheat flour pizza (although I know we can make those at home gf okay as have made one for my DD) I had spring rolls and crispy duck and pancakes a few weeks ago after my blood test results. But maybe should do that again this week. I've 4 days left. 😩
