My seven year old is into his fifth week of being gluten free, and it’s going really well. He’s adapted brilliantly and been impressively mature about it, so I’m really proud of him. There were a few wobbles to start, and I’m sure there will continue to be, but overall, it’s been positive. There has been … Continue reading
It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally got my hands on one of the new Pizza Express gluten free margheritas. After repeatedly being unable to find one at our local big Sainsbury’s store on Archer Road, I got in touch with Sainsbury’s via Twitter and found out you can log a product request, which I … Continue reading
We’re embarking on a new phase in our gluten free journey, as boy #1 is trying out being gluten free for a while, to see if it helps his tummy symptoms.

Lack of understanding or care about gluten free food, although they do have items on the menu. I would treat this place with extreme caution. I have tried to get … Continue reading

In the bigger supermarkets, the Free From sections are full to bursting with cakes, biscuits, bread and pasta that are specially made without gluten.

This week we had a school inset day on Monday, so months ago we arranged with some friends to make the most of the extra day by taking the kids camping. And for once, we were rewarded with amazing weather! We went to a lovely rural campsite not too far away in the Peak District, where we were able to … Continue reading
