I’m back!
I’m sorry. I know I haven’t blogged for a couple of years, but when I came back to have a look at ‘My Gluten Free Child’ a few months ago I was amazed at how many people are still visiting every month. My Gluten Free Apple Crumble in particular seems to be very popular! So [...] Read more »
Why I haven’t blogged recently…
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! Read more »
Easter Hols
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 [...] Read more »
Gluten Free Easter
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 [...] Read more »
Sign a Petition for Better Rates of Coeliac Disease Diagnosis (UK)

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 [...] Read more »
Another Gluten Free Birthday Party
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 [...] Read more »
Should the Whole Family go Gluten Free?
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 [...] Read more »
The Tummy Ache Mystery is Solved!
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 [...] Read more »
An Average Gluten Free Day for Jamie From His Mum’s Point of View
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 [...] Read more »
