Going gluten-free. What can I have?

[EightToSixer]

I've had some 'non conclusive but looks likely to be coeliac' results back from a biopsy. I've decided that rather than eating gluten and remaining anaemic for another year and being re-tested by gastroscopy (one of the worst things I've had done) that I'm going to try living gluten free for six months and see how my symptoms and anaemia change.
I've searched other threads so know about gf flour, stock cubes, soy sauce, cereals etc. I'm happy to go without bread and pasta as I've gone off them since they've started hurting me anyway.
What I wondered was if there are any tips for breakfast and for snacks? Can I still eat most sweets and chocolate bars (excluding buisvuity ones of course).
I've joined coeliac uk and I'm waiting for my handbook.
Is there anything else I should know?

Coeliac uk will give you loads of info so that's a good start. You can have bread and pasta - there is plenty of gluten free stuff in the shops and you can make bread too if you like baking! We've found Sainsbury's has a good range, including plenty of cereal for breakfast, also pizza bases, biscuits, cakes etc. also plenty of cook books available to help. My daughter gets a lot on prescription, not sure if your GP will do this if the result not conclusive but might be worth asking.

You could have porridge for breakfast. That's oats not wheat.

Normal porridge oats are not suitable for coeliacs as they are heavily contaminated with wheat. You can get special gf oats, but go careful with them as many coeliacs can only cope with the odd serving, not everyday.
For breakfast I have either gf toast (usually Genius) or a GF cereal.

You have to check sweets as some are produced on flour dusted production lines, but most choc is OK - but check online first as you can get suprises like at one point Mars bars were OK, but fun size wasn't

You can get gluten free bread and pasta. one of my best "discoveries" has been John west canned boneless sardines in tomato sauce on (gf) toast, which has become my favourite quick lunch or substantial snack. Yum Yum and sardines are full of lots of things that are good for you.

Ther is a very good website called gluternative.com for researching what is or isn't ok to eat, rather than finding out the bloating cramping and worse route

Thank you all for your replies, sorry I was away from internet all day to reply myself. I've joined coeliac uk and I will check that website you linked to posh penny.

I'd better look around the supermarkets, I had no idea there was so much.

CMOT - how do you check on chocolate bars? Will they actually say something like May contain gluten? Or do I have to be more clever than that?

Check the label of everything. I would never ever put flour in homemade salmon pâté, but lots of supermarkets do. Check everytime never make assumptions. You will have pleasant and unpleasant surprises.
My favourite GF bread is the M&S poppy seeded one. I can eat GF porridge everyday, I never was a toast person, eggs - yuck so I add nuts, seeds and dried fruit for breakfast.
Other recent excellent discovery is that nearly all M&S sausages are GF.
