Not being a Cornwallian, I had to Google that one. I don't think it would be a great diet or help with your maths homework but useful nonetheless ... I assume. 🙄

Wiki suggests it dates back to 1602 when it was "By your Tre and Pol and Pen, ..."

Ah yes! That was it!! I knew Pre didn’t feel right. Tre makes a LOT more sense. (Trewithen, Treliske, Trevescan and all the rest!)
 
One thing I will say is that 2 weeks is a very short time to show benefits from GF. Personally, it was about 6-8 weeks for me, but for some it can be even ;onger.

My Endo (for my thyroid) reckons anyone with AI conditions should be GF, because challenges are so common.
Thanks for that idea. It may be that I need to extend the periods for each.

Many things are near immediate improvement, but in terms of gluten bowel irritation, it can take longer to settle.

Is it fair to assume you have had a coeliac panel done recently?

I have lost track of all that has been going on in the last weeks, but will check that the coeliac tests were done if I go down the diet route. I am in the hands of surgical team at present but just trying to find out what I can to help myself going forward.

I don't know if you have seen the web site of the charity Guts UK as there is lots of info about the whole gamut of gut conditions and suggested management, diet included.
 
It is very restrictive but I suppose I would do it if I had to.

I thought, because it was so restrictive, it had to be done under the supervision of a GP or Dietician?

My son was under the care of a dietician as he has a switched on GP. I did it the same time as my son and he helped me. I was diagnosed with IBS at 26!! I am now 59 and never ever been referred to a Dietician!!

OK. I read somewhere that you should be supervised. My friend Diane said she does it and isn't supervised either.

Checked with consultant and tests had not been done since 2021. So thanks for the idea.
Now sorting out tests.

My Endo (for thyroid) runs coeliac panels for me regularly, amongst other things. Thus far, my coeliac results are inconclsive.
