One thing that used to always trip me up when I was first diagnosed with coeliac disease is working out which sauces are gluten free. It’s easy to remember the obvious things that contain gluten, like bread, pasta, cakes, pizza – basically anything battered, breadcrumbed or beige! But I find…

The UK seems to have gone nuts at the moment, with everyone panic-buying things they don’t need. And now that we’re in lockdown, it’s more important than ever to turn to online food delivery services rather than unnecessarily going out of the house when you don’t need to. The problem…
The latest UK government guidelines have now stated anyone with a long-term health condition or a weakened immune system should being stringent on social distancing and self-isolation (see NHS website here) As well as coeliac disease I am also on immuno-suppresant medication for thyroid eye disease. After speaking to my…
I know a lot of people are worrying about stockpiling food at the moment, but with a few essentials there really is no need to worry. You don’t need a mountain of toilet rolls of cupboards of tins – and many of us actually have a lot of these ingredients…

I’ve been a member of many gluten free and coeliac Facebook groups for a while now, and I see a lot of the same questions being asked. It seems while something are straight cut – no bread, no cakes, no doughnuts – others are a little more confusing. A lot…
A heatwave is (apparently) coming today, so the time is right to stock the freezer up with gluten and dairy free ice-creams, lollies, sorbets and more! You just know once the mercury rises the free from sections of the freezers will start to empty. Whether you fancy a Cornetto, scoops…
The other week I posted on my Instagram account about how I had been invited by my doctors for an ‘annual check up’ because of my coeliac disease. My coeliac disease, I might add, which I have was diagnosed with some 18 years ago and never heard from my doctors…
So myself and Laura Strange from My Gluten Free Guide have got some exciting news that I’ve been absolutely BURSTING to share with you guys for months. And today, after months of work, I can finally reveal…. WE ARE LAUNCHING A BRAND NEW GLUTEN FREE PODCAST!! Oh Crumbs – The…

If there’s one mission I have with this blog, it’s to prove that being diagnosed with coeliac disease doesn’t have to be the end of the world. In fact, for me it has been life-changing in the best of ways. I’ve managed to take my diagnosis and use my experience…

I firmly believe that Coeliac Awareness Week is about spreading the awareness of coeliac disease and its symptoms. However, I also appreciate that gluten free food can be expensive, and who doesn’t love a chance to save some cash, right? I know I do! Which is why I’ve been hunting down…
I accidentally glutened myself last week. In over two decades with coeliac disease I’ve never mistakenly taken a bite of the wrong pizza – until now. I made the mistake of making Steve and I virtually identical pizzas, the only fatal flaw being that his contained gluten and mine did…

I’ve become really, really bad at prepping a gluten free lunch lately. To the point where my wages might as well be paid directly to Marks and Spencer, the amount of lunches I have bought from there. But one good thing about failing to meal prep? All the new gluten…
