We have just got back from our family holiday to Spain and it was really good this year food-wise. I am very lucky as my folks live out there for a lot of the year, so it is really easy for us to go and stay. This means we know the area around Denia really […]
Everyone, everyone… quick! Check out these new t-shirts created by the lovely people at Busy Bee Printing. They sent one for each of my kids and they say, ‘My Daddy’s allergic to everything… but NOT to me’. They suit both girls and boys and my kids absolutely love them. We think they’re amazing and if […]
I had my first experience of witnessing a child having an allergic reaction to food a few months ago. A good work friend, Sally had invited us round for a barbecue and was in the process of weaning her little boy, William. He was 7 months old at this point and such a happy little […]
I’ve just had to see the doc about my psoriasis again. It is driving me insane and no lotions or potions are really helping. The sun has been the best help and my skin’s doing a bit better, but my scalp… arghhhhh! Anyway, she is trying one more attempt of a steroid (Enstilar), but otherwise […]
I know you shouldn’t be happy when mates tell you they are sick. But the other day, a friend messaged to say he’d been diagnosed with coeliac disease. And I was (secretly) ecstatic. This wasn’t just any friend. This was a top scientist friend – the type who is actually looking to cure diseases. It […]
Cakes have got to be the highest form of food. But there was a time when being on a free-from diet meant you had to settle for a vacuum-sealed brownie. Thankfully, clued up people are feeding our needs. We had the pleasure of being introduced to Willow Cottage Kitchen at the Allergy and […]
I have known a few epileptic dogs and also a diabetic cat in my time, but I have never met a tricky-eating dog. Beautiful Molly was my first, a dog that I met last week and who has to avoid different types of food. I thought it might make a change for me to write […]

It may cause side […]
My youngest daughter, Amalie, who is now three, was diagnosed with coeliac disease at six months old. Well, the consultant is fairly certain that she has it, but she was too poorly for us to give her gluten for more than two weeks so her blood test came back negative. I wrote a couple of […]
Oh my goodness, how things have improved for coeliacs eating out over the past six years. It used to be hell, and to be honest, I avoided it most of the time or just settled for a plain baked potato. They were my hangry years, for sure. Now, restaurants are clocking on to the power […]
Kay wrote a blog earlier this week about her coeliac diagnosis and how she was taken seriously by her doctor straight away. It is very odd as Kay and I have been best mates for years and I had stomach problems for all that time too. She kept telling me to go and get tested […]
Ten years ago, when I’d ask for something gluten free, I’d as well have ordered a plate of moon cheese. Even in London, hardly anyone knew what ‘coeliac’ was – hell, when the doctor told me I hadn’t a clue. He jotted down the Coeliac UK website on a sticky note and sent me on […]
