So I have coeliac, I was doing well on a gf diet, although getting a bit more sensitive recently (eg I used to be able to eat oats without a big reaction but now definitely can't). I've been feeling ropey for ages (abdominal pain, palpitations, migraine-type headaches, fainting) and the gp has no clue why. I had a miraculous recovery when we went on holiday - where I couldn't get hold of gf bread. As soon as we got back I got ill again. So I gave up gf bread and got better again. I thought it might be the xanthan gum in the bread and tried buying some other that didn't contain it, but got a reaction again. I seem to react badly to genius, sainsburys freefrom, laucke, mrs crimbles, doves farm gluten free self raising flour... But I seem to be okay with polenta made at home so I don't think it's corn...
Does anyone else with coeliac react to gf bread? If so, do you know which ingredient causes it for you - is there one you can eat without a reaction? Or do you stick to a bread-free diet the whole time? I'm trying to figure out how to meal plan and stick to our meagre food budget while avoiding these really annoying symptoms. Very grateful if anyone else has any insight!
