Hi. We've got a number of mutual friends and one of them (hoiho) just pointed me in your direction because I've just been diagnosed with coeliac disease.

I hope you don't mind if I friend you - I don't expect to be friended back, but if I can get some tips on managing stuff by reading you I'll be happy!

Of course, if you don't want me friending me just say the word and I'll shuffle off again, ready to drown my sorrows in gluten-free beer...
