Yes, like you, I have to watch what I eat and have done so for nearly 50 years!

During that time I have discovered many hints and tips for keeping that nasty gluten out of my food. Tips that before long will be second nature for you too.

Scared to eat anything in case it causes you harm? Need to know what is safe and what isn't?

Let me be your guide. You will find tasty recipes and menus where all the hard work has been done for you. You will find common sense information that will help you learn how to cope with a new way of eating, that at first seems strange and difficult.

I'll answer many of your questions on the site, and if I've missed anything you can drop me a line. This site is not run by medics, but by someone just like you.

So let's jump right in and try to answer some of your questions, like . . .

• What is gluten anyway and how can I avoid it?
• What is the difference between coeliac disease and a gluten allergy?
• What can I and can't I eat on a gluten free diet and how do I cook it?
• Can I make gluten free baby food?
• What can my children and I eat for breakfast, lunch or even Christmas dinner
• Can I still eat out and enjoy a pint of beer?
• Can I still be a vegan or vegetarian?
• Where can I tell my story, read those of other people and chat with others on the diet?

Why do you need a gluten free diet!

If you suffer from Coeliac disease (spelt celiac in the USA), gluten intolerance, Dermatis Herpetiformis (a terribly itchy skin condition commonly known as DH), ADHD or autism, this diet will enable you to live a normal life.

The celiac disease diet is not a fad weight loss diet that you can follow for a while, then try something else. It is a diet for life!

It will involve checking labels and ingredients for foods containing gluten and learning to avoid them.

It may involve changing some of your cooking methods and habits.

The diet for celiac disease may mean buying unfamiliar ingredients like special gluten free grains and learning to bake with alternative flours.

Oh and did you know that even your pet can benefit from the diet? Learn how good pet nutrition can make for a happier, healthier dog as well as making life safer for you.

If your body cannot tolerate gluten it is a diet that will make you feel better than you can imagine. It will heal you. You will gain energy. You will be able to enjoy life again.

Don't think of it as a punishment, but try to see it as a challenge.
