How to have a Merry Gluten Free Christmas

December 22, 2018October 26, 2024 - The Gluten Free Queen
Merry Gluten Free Christmas featured

Helen Waterfall has been a coeliac for just over 7 years. When she was first diagnosed it was a huge shock as no one else in her family seemed to have any problems. She’s since embraced the gluten free way of life and likes to help support others in their gluten free journeys as well.Read more

The “device” that claims to detect gluten… I call BS.

May 8, 2016October 26, 2024 - The Gluten Free Queen
Poop Rainbow square

So apparently there’s a “device” that claims to be able to detect gluten in food… I call BS. I’ve just shared this on Facebook, but I feel like I need to also share it here as well to stop confusion that seems to be around it. There are a few articles going around at theRead more

Gluten will not make me cry!

February 17, 2016October 26, 2024 - The Gluten Free Queen
Crying Faces

I have had Coeliac Disease since 2007, and yet sometimes I still get emotional when I can’t eat something or participate in a foodie event. One of those days was today. There was a food orientated training session at my workplace. And surprise surprise, there was nothing I could eat. Yes, everything that was preparedRead more

With ANZAC Day approaching both new and seasoned (no pun intended) coeliacs are looking to bake up some classic and important ANZAC Day bikkies.Please be aware that some people and companies that you may follow on social media will say that oats are safe for coeliacs. While some coeliacs can tolerate oats, many can't. And those of us who can't, do have the same or similar reaction to that of being glutened. We get symptomatic (in various forms) and damage our bodies, making them more susceptible to other conditions which include bowel cancer. For this reason, oats cannot be labelled gluten free in Australia or New Zealand under the FSANZ laws (food labelling laws). To find out if you can tolerate oats, there is a medically supervised oat challenge that you can do through your gastroenterologist.Please also remember that "GF Oats" that you may see in the shops and online, stands for "Gloriously Free", NOT Gluten Free.This is a diplomatic post, but honeslty I am so very angry. If this was a peanut allergy rather than coeliac it would be treated so much differently and the "just try it and see how you feel" attitude would make the news. We need to be taken seriously. If you do see any posts across social media, please report them to Coeliac Australia, potentially the FSANZ, and comment if you feel like you want to.For a safe coeliac ANZAC recipe head to my group, or to the one on my website - www.theglutenfreequeen.com.au/anzac-biscuits/#wprm-recipe-container-646@followers ...
