coeliac

Curries and coke

February 15, 2013

In my last post (which I suspect bored you cos it certainly bored me!) I mentioned that my eating is ‘kinda’ in hand. It’s not perfect but I’m not inhaling stuff I shouldn’t be eating. (I should confess that, at my worst a few weeks ago I willingly ate packets of normal crisps. With gluten. [...]

A review: Lifestyle Bakery Soft ‘n’ Light gluten-free bread

The diagnosis was initially frightening – the list of what I couldn’t eat seemed enormous and I still remember my first few attempts to cook [...]

Gluten-free food fail

July 2, 2012

I often talk here about stepping out of my comfort zone – which I do believe to be a good thing. Sort of. When I leap too far outside of it I struggle, but pushing the boundaries can bring some benefits. Apparently. However, there are other times when stepping outside of one’s comfort zone, even [...]
