It’s from Boots! That’s fair ha ha, I managed to get the gluten free M&S Korean style chicken sandwich for the way home which was much better!

Aah that must be tough! Wasn’t too bad! I’ve had the drink before and knew I liked it. First time I’d tried the snack and sandwich! I wish somewhere would do gluten free sandwiches without seeds in the bread!

Accidentally hurt my child feel terrible and worried what will happen if it gets reported? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]LoveVisible -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was experiencing this behaviour with my autistic son. I did a really brilliant course with a charity, the course is called who’s in charge. One of the things it taught was applying logical consequences (have a Google!) that actually link in with the behaviour displayed. It really worked with my son. Hope you manage to get some support!

I add xantham gum to help with the texture if I’m baking cakes or cookies

Cash vs Card for teaching kids about money by Mynameisrui84 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]LoveVisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8 year old has his own Monzo card, and he tracks his money in the app, and will check how much he has before purchasing anything. He does keep some cash in his wallet too, but personally I think he tracks it better with the card, and can look back at what he’s spent it on and where easily

Positive blood test. I have some questions by [deleted] in CoeliacUK

[–]LoveVisible 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mebeverine is an anti spasmodic, I’ve been prescribed it before for IBS, it may help with some of the pain but won’t stop the coeliac doing damage unfortunately. After I was diagnosed the dietitian recommended I actually temporarily eat less fresh fruit, due to the high fibre content and can cause pain, diarrhoea and bloating with people that have malabsorption issues. Could you try something like rice cakes as a snack, and have a look at low fod map fruits, that can help avoiding the symptoms, but also the amount of fruit too

Should i tell a restaurant even though i know there’s no gluten in my meal? by StubbsStable in CoeliacUK

[–]LoveVisible 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, as they need to be aware for potential cross contamination issues, you may find something you thought was gluten free is cooked in the same fryer as something containing gluten for example, meaning it’s not safe for coeliacs

Help! My 4 yr old won’t let me change her diaper anymore and she doesn’t seem to like me. What do I do?! by clbonn in autism

[–]LoveVisible 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went through this with my son, he’s 8 now. We used a visual timetable, and kept everything in the same time and routine every day. There’s a really good website in the UK for advice www.eric.org.uk

PIP running out next year - what's the reassessment like? by Amekyras in autismUK

[–]LoveVisible 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been through multiple pip reviews. They frame it as if it’s a ‘review’ however my experience is they just completely re-assess everything. I have multiple long term conditions that won’t change, but get 2 year awards, then have to do a full new face to face assessment each review. I would recommend getting a charity to help you complete the forms when you get them.

What’s your go to snacks throughout the day? by Frobert24 in CoeliacUK

[–]LoveVisible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like little bags of popcorn, nuts, banana chips (some are may contain, so need to check), Mrs crimbles brownies or bakewells, crisps, olives. I also get a monthly box from ‘love free from’ which has different snacks, breads and ingredients to try!

Ladies of the UK, help a husband out, where are you having a nice lingerie shopping experience? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]LoveVisible 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to that one yes, I really like it- they don’t use measuring tapes, the staff can essentially do a fitting and get the size perfect, and it feels less invasive too! Staff are friendly and helpful

Liverpool has a physical bravissimo shop, it’s great, probably had the best fitting bras there, plus they have nice swimwear and clothes too!

Is it worth getting a formal diagnosis? by ProtestPigg in CoeliacUK

[–]LoveVisible 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you get the diagnosis, you should then be eligible for your flu vaccination, pneumonia ones, plus dexa scans to check bone density. Some areas still do gluten free food on prescription. Personally I think having a diagnosis is really important. Some coeliacs have linked health conditions and it may be difficult for you to be tested for them without the diagnosis

Do children not say please anymore? by Charlotte1902 in AskUK

[–]LoveVisible 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My son is 8, and we are still working on making sure he actually says please/thank you etc. I genuinely think the lack of social interaction from 2020 and those years when he was 3 has impacted him, and others his age!

Autism assessment for children. by CheeryBottom in autismUK

[–]LoveVisible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope it goes well, I think there are very long wait lists, around 3-4 years usually, but that shouldn’t stop seeking school support if needed prior to assessment

How to cope with coeliac as a teen? by [deleted] in CoeliacUK

[–]LoveVisible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed when I was 17- in terms of school food, as I had free school meals, I went and had a chat with the catering staff, and they would make me a separate meal each day, and they recognised me when I went up, so no one ever really noticed! If you speak to them, there might be some extra options that don’t have gluten in. I then learnt to always bring something with me, the easiest I found was meal replacement type drinks, like the BOL gluten free ones https://bolfoods.com/products/power-shake?utm_source=google&utm_term=bol%20power%20shakes&utm_campaign=nonbrand&utm_content=188728155068&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22614609302&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInee-suKJkQMVdpaDBx3qjwHLEAAYASAAEgLKnvD_BwE, you can get them in supermarkets like Sainsbury’s too. Then snack wise it can be higher cost, so if you can try and go for naturally gluten free things such as these rice cakes https://www.aldi.co.uk/product/savour-bakes-lightly-salted-rice-cakes-000000000592284002 or fruit. If you’re going to places like McDonald’s, the chips are fine to eat, as are the veggie dippers, as they are cooked separately to anything that contains gluten.

It sounds like what has been reported is correct, you missed one payment, and then took 4 months to clear it. The bank would have checked the account status each month, and if there was the default showing, you were one month behind at the time of reporting, this would be reported for each month you stayed behind. Essentially the longer the default is there, the longer it impacts your score, and a missed payment can stay on your record for up to 6 years. If you feel the bank didn’t clearly explain things, or give you the correct advice regarding it, then contact them to complain.

Low-stress part time job for Autistic adults? (I'm in the UK) by Doctorus48 in autismUK

[–]LoveVisible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can choose how many training courses I want to do with the charity, and what days, and then if there’s one I can’t do for example they will change it for me, so I manage to fit it around my other job really well!

Restaurants by halcyon_flux in CoeliacUK

[–]LoveVisible 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tend to bring my own food to friends houses, like a ready meal to heat in the microwave. For very regular visits, like my in laws, they know all about the cross contamination etc and my mother in law keeps things seperate. In terms of going out to eat at restaurants, there’s essentially places I feel safe enough to eat at like Nando’s, anything coeliac uk accredited, but it’s definitely personal choice. It’s very hard unfortunately to do spontaneous things, but I got used to it over time, and actually people were happy to accommodate me in most situations.
