Mrs Crimble's Cheese Bites

I just made a trip to our big Sainsburys to look at the new items in their Free-From range - more on that later.


While I was there I found these Mrs Crimble's Cheese Bites. They are heaven! Made with Edam Cheese but baked so they aren't ridiculously unhealthy, they are hollow cheesy pillows.

Absolutely delicious!

Gluten Cravings

Accidently consuming gluten as a coeliac is not a pleasant experience. However, once the gastro symptoms and the horrible 'hungover' feeling have gone, for me one of the most distressing symptoms is craving foods that contain gluten. This symptom seems to linger after the episode has almost been forgotten.

I ate a meal at a chinese restaurant at the weekend and was probably less careful than I should have been. Since then I have been craving pies and pizza and all the things I can't have.

To counteract these cravings I made gluten free pizza and defrosted a gluten free coffee cake I had in the freezer.

Still, sometimes gluten free alternatives don't quite hit the spot.

I would never deliberately consume gluten so why does my body crave something that makes it so so ill?

That's a question I wish I knew the answer to.

Does anyone else experience gluten cravings?
What do you do to counteract them?
