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

Ice Cream, Gluten Free?
Is Ice Cream gluten free? I know that milk, cream, sugar and fruit are gluten free and these (I think) are normally the ingredients of ice cream so does this mean that all ice cream (other than flavours like cookie dough and cookies and cream obviously) are gluten free? What glutenous ingredients could ice cream

Have I Been Glutenated?
Since starting my gluten free diet last August I haven’t really felt as though I’ve made many mistakes as I’ve been feeling so much better. This week however, I’ve been feeling lethargic and irritable and my visits to the toilet remind me of how things were before I was diagnosed 🙁 I’ve been having these symptoms

Gluten Free….5 months on
I’ve now been living gluten free (or at least trying to) for five months. Throughout these five months I’ve gone through quite a few different emotions, both good and bad, in my discovery of the changes I must make to my life… Relief, loss, excitement, health, acceptance, more loss and so this continues…
Gluten Free Running In Malta
Next month I’m heading to Malta to run my first half-marathon. Staying gluten free is hard enough when travelling to a new place but I’m going to need all of my energy for this race and glutenation could stop me from finishing in my best time. I’ve been doing lots of training so I want to

Gluten Free Christmas Day
Christmas 2009 was my first gluten free Christmas. Dinner was at my mum’s house with her husband, my brother and his wife and my boyfriend John. As my mum was in charge of preparing dinner she decided that everything would be gluten free. There was no point, she felt, in risking contamination and almost everything

I wish I could eat….
So far I feel as though I’m doing pretty well with my new gluten free life but there are still a few delicious gluten filled delights that I miss…This is a place for me to shout and scream and get it all out without freaking out the sales assistants in the cereal aisle of Tesco!

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Gluten Free?
I was given a Terry’s chocolate Orange at work today…something I completely forget about until the festive season comes around and they seem to be everywhere! Are these delicious Christmassy chocolate delights gluten free? On the back of the box is the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Careline so I thought I’d give them a call to find
