Thanks LisaBear, Audax, Feeb, Boomba, Bluesky and emc2 , I appreciate your ideas and advice.

I had my endoscopy today which confirmed the diagnosis (visually) and just needs final biopsy results to make it official.

Once it's official I can join the Coeliac society but I'm still struggling with what I can and can't have and which products are good alternatives. I have bought a few gluten free things that were just awful snack type things to take to work etc so I guess I'll have to keep searching. I'm just not a cook or baker so I'm finding that difficult to come to terms with that the little free time I have will have to be spent cooking

Anyhoo, keep the good ideas and suggestions coming.
