Fennel I went gluten free a few years ago. My symptoms were put down to IBS - a blanket term for ‘we don’t really know’ diagnosis! I had bloating, pains, especially in winter (homemade soup with lots of barley!!), diarrhoea. I’m not coeliac, but gluten sensitive.
M & S are great for gf foods - lovely breads and rolls - and their range is expanding. It all takes some getting used to, but I’ve found that I prefer some gf things now!

I know there are a few people on here who avoid gluten. What were your symptoms before you gave it up?
I've mentioned before that I'm waiting for a hernia repair. I seem to make a lot of 'gas' and this gets stuck in the hernia and it's v. painful. I've mentioned it to the Dr. and she said it could be acid stomach so she started me on Lansoprazole. But that doesn't help.
Now I've noticed it's much worse after eating bread, or wheat pasta etc. I love bread 
- don't want to give it up.
Also do the symptoms vary over time?
