Apologies for being quiet for so long. I've just finished a rather hectic term at uni and then went to France to relax.
But I am back now! So check back over the next few days to hear all about my trip to France and how I got along with the gluten free diet out there.
About me
About me la la la
Oh I'm supposed to write something about me here!
Well I'm a twenty-something student studying Pharmacy at Aston Uni. I follow a gluten free diet having had a positive blood test for Coeliac antibodies in December 2006.
I do not have an official diagnosis as I was incredibly ill before going gluten free and my GP decided it was too dangerous for me to eat gluten for 6 more weeks to have the biopsy (having already put me on a gluten free diet.) Part of me regrets this. But I was having fits every time I ate, along with all the typical symptoms, and I just could not put my body through any more of that.
However this means I am not entitled to gluten free foods on prescription. I have fought to be "treated as Coeliac" to no avail. This fact, combined with me being a student, means I try to find, or create, tasty gluten free recipes made from easy-to-find, everyday, cheap(ish!) ingredients.
This is my way of sharing these recipes, and other things I have learnt since being gluten free, with others who might benefit from it.
