A gluten free diet: easy gluten free recipes and the celiac child
It is not an excuse but it is a reason!
Pippa is an eight week old west hihland white terrier puppy and we picked her up last week after months of waiting and preparation! So I haven’t had a lot of time to blog recently, but I’ll be back soon!
I’m so sorry that I haven’t blogged for ages! We have been away - on our first ‘proper’ holiday since Jamie was diagnosed with celiacs disease last June. It is hard to believe that this time last year we had a very sad and ill little boy with permenant tummy aches, exhaustion and weight loss. He [...]
Our first gluten free Easter! So that means no hot cross buns (which Jamie is not ever so happy about but will get over) and probably as much chocolate as ever! I have had to be careful to check the labels on the Easter eggs: some contain gluten, some don’t… but there are enough that [...]
We were very fortunate. Our GP spotted the symptoms of coeliac disease on the first visit and referred Jamie for blood tests immediately. But I know that for thousands of people suffering from coeliacs, diagnosis can take years, and unmanaged coeliacs disease can lead to many more health problems, such as infertility, osteoporosis, anemia, and [...]
Another birthday, another gluten free birthday cake! This time it was my daughter’s. She is not celiac and does not follow a gluten free diet, but her birthday was gluten free anyway because:
a) She’s a kind hearted little person and wanted her brother to join in.
b) All my baking stuff is gluten free and I [...]
One of the biggest questions we had when Jamie was first diagnosed with celiacs disease was ‘Should the whole family go gluten free?’ And it is a question that must be asked in any family where one member is diagnosed with celiacs.
Certainly there are advantages to this option: equally there are disadvantages. It is a question [...]
Having blogged a few times about the mystery of Jamie’s ongoing tummy aches, despite my keeping of a thorough (I thought) food diary, and trying every remedy under the sun, I thought I should update you.
It was the tomato ketchup!
And yes, I have to take full responsibility and yes, I have been on the world’s biggest [...]
Having written about Jamie’s gluten free day last Wednesday, I did get to thinking about the impacthis celiac disease, and gluten free diet has on me!. So here is a day in the life of my celiac child from the point of view of the one who feeds him.
Early morning: I’m packing up the lunch [...]
Tags: celiac, celiac disease, easy gluten free recipes, gluten free, gluten free brownies, gluten free dietI mentioned the other day that Jamie keeps getting tummy-aches, despite the fact that I’m sure he is not having any gluten. I kept a food diary for two weeks and send it to the Paediatric Dietician at the hospital.
She rang back the other day and said that she couldn’t see any reason for the [...]
“Does a gluten free diet make life difficult for Jamie?”
Someone asked me that the other day, and although I said “Not really” at the time, it did make me stop and think. We have got so used to living gluten free that we don’t talk about it much anymore. But there are little challenges Jamie (and [...]
