WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY ON FOOD ALLERGIES

I suffer alot with bloating due to water retention and wheat/gluten products. My life has been so much easier since going gluten free and drinking and eating a lot of foods that rid the fluid retention. If i’m feeling a little on the bloated side, a lovely cranberry juice or tea. Herbal teas. And walla!! GF hasn’t changed my eating habits much at … See Moreall. It’s actually made them better. No takeaways. Go for the fresh like Thai (only u get rice or change your noodle type instead). Replace normal flour with GF, pasta with GF. My son doesn’t notice the difference. A choc cake is still a choc cake to him.

My son is wheat intolerant and we have all gone (as much as i can) wheat free, the only thing that we have that has wheat in it now is bread, my son has his own bread, it was to hard to keep him out of our wheat products so we all went wheat free, it has been hard to start witi going wheat free but is getting easier as i go 🙂

my son is allergic to apple. There is surprisingly a lot of apple hidden in all sorts of things. I seems that apple juice is use as a preservative. Fruit time is fun for us along with fruit boxes and pop-top type drinks. On the upside its made us really look at what we are eating cause its not a common allergy. Even funnier i craved apple sultanas and cheese (together) when i was preggers with him. {Trace}

my daughter is allergic to nuts, as she is allergic and not just intolerant the only thing we can do is to just avoid everything that has any nut product in it at all. Pretty tricky when just about everything says ‘may contain traces of nuts’.
there are a lot of home made museli bars etc for lunch boxes :p

Myself and my 2 daughters are Coeliac’s and my poor husband has to have what we have, apart from the bread, it is great to see food companies coming to the party and providing GF products, pastry is something we haven’t mastered yet, the girls use to love homemade party sausage rolls.

I have seen GF pastry in the supermarkets?

woolworths sell GF pastry:)

Do you find the supermarkets are becoming better at stocking gf products etc, or do you have to go to a health food shop and spend alot more????

my local woolworths has a great range of GF products including, bread,flour, pasta, cooking sauces, cake mixes etc a little more expensive than the gluten products but alot cheaper than health food stores.
