No Gluten Ingredients: Trader Joe’s
My first experience of gluten free grocery shopping in Philadelphia was not the greatest. It was my first visit to Trader Joe’s and it didn’t turn out to be what I was hoping for! The huge sign at the front of the supermarket explained the signs to look out for in order to make shopping

Berkeley Bowl Gluten Free
There are a few large supermarkets in Berkeley but my favourite by far is Berkeley Bowl. They have a great selection of products (including the best selection of fruit and veg I’ve ever seen in a supermarket), decent prices and a brilliant selection of gluten free products!
Gluten Free Labelling Law Argentina
In Argentina, a law was passed in December of 2009, which if enforced could make life much easier for Argentine coeliacs and for gluten free travellers to this country. The law has yet to be regulated so as a result not all companies are adhering to the law. Still, by passing this law the Argentinian

First impressions of Buenos Aires
I arrived in Buenos Aires only 24 hours but have a good first impression of the coeliac friendliness of the city. A couple of the supermarkets we wandered into label quite a few of their products with a wheat free symbol which says ‘Sin TACC’ which translates to ‘without wheat, barley, rye and oats.’ We

Gluten Free Boston
I spent a few days in the pretty city of Boston this summer. We didn’t do much eating out in the city but I did still find a few restaurants with gluten free options. I also spent quite a bit of time exploring local supermarkets for interesting gluten free foods with which we could prepare

Gluten Free Copenhagen
The next stop on our rally was Copenhagen and as the drive from Amsterdam was so long it wasn’t until late in the evening that we finally arrived. After checking into our hostel and walking the 30 minutes into town, it was 9.30pm. Looking for something decently priced is difficult enough in a city like Copenhagen but also finding

Gluten Free Amsterdam
The first stop on our Northern Lights Rally was Amsterdam. As we arrived early on the ferry from Newcastle we had the whole day to spend with our Dutch friends and they were an extremely helpful source for finding out where I could buy gluten free food. Birgit and Evert made us delicious gluten free lunch

Coeliac Friendly Malta
Malta is a small European country situated right in the middle of the Mediterranean and not too far from Sicily. Because of it’s location the weather is pretty much always lovely and so it was the perfect place to run our first half marathon. Growing up in the UK, I always envisioned Malta as a

Mount Pleasant, Iowa
I spent a couple of weeks in my boyfriend’s home town of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, just 5 days after being diagnosed as Coeliac. I knew it was going to be difficult as I had just found out and didn’t have much knowledge of everything I could and couldn’t have yet. I figured that I would
