Hi guys. Could you please assist with what typical Nigerian foods contain gluten?

It appears I may have intolerance for gluten and I want to trace to see what foods may have been giving me problems.

Thanks guys

Avoid foods that contain wheat, barley...

Like bread for example.

Do you have celiac disease? If you do, you seem to eat mostly foods that not good for you.
You need to stop eating processed foods and start eating foods that are whole (natural).

Low-fat dairy is not bad for you though. Eggs are good for you too.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, nuts, legumes in their natural forms are also good for you.

Thanks a lot for this. How can I check if I have celiac disease? Where can I test for this in Lagos?

First of all, how do you feel when you eat those foods you listed?
You might not have celiac disease but just sensitive to gluten.

Hospitals in Nigeria are hardly of help when it comes to diagnosis but there’s no harm in trying.
You can try a teaching hospital...

Changing your diet might just be all you need also.

You’re right about Nigerian hospitals. Once the problem is not standard text book case, you would be better off using the internet

I would do an allergy test and take things from there. I’d also revamp my diet.

Thank you sooooo much. You’re a life saver

I’m glad I could be of help. And I hope those tips are helpful too.
You’re welcome.

Drink lots of water too. It cleanses your system and refreshes your health.

Okay I’d be sure to stay hydrated. Thanks for sharing your intelligence and wisdom

Research brought me here. And that's like some 3 years after this thread was created.

I'd just like to say kudos to all contributors. Not only has this been helpful to me, this also appears to be the most sane thread I've seen on here. No foul language whatsoever...just good English and mutual respect.
Good bless you!
