  12. Not sure today is right day to have a 'coeliac is autoimmune not intolerance' pop at BBC. So many bodies and companies say this. 1/2 3:31 AM May 24th via web
  13. @nefarioustim Sometimes digestives are available, and cake can be (or has been..) prescribed in cases of severe underweight on diagnosis. 3:11 AM May 24th via web in reply to nefarioustim
