Coeliac support thread

Hiya! How are you coping with the diagnosis? I am not a coeliac but I have a wheat intolerance and I can't eat certain brands of cereal because I think it is cross contaminated with wheat. It is tough adjusting to supermarket shopping, dining out, cooking for the family etc.It is doable and sometimes a fun learning curve.

Not too bad actually. Not gonna lie, I went past a McDonald’s tonight and was so very nearly tempted to stuff it and enjoy a good old meal. 😂😂 Don’t worry I didn’t. I think the first 6 months are going to be the hardest and it’s very trial and error at the minute. I love any food but when it comes to gf foods I don’t like 70% of it. I’m going to try my hardest to have a positive mindset about it because there are other people worse off of course. Cross contamination is such a tricky thing. I live with my mum and dad still who eat gluten and I’m literally washing everything after they use it. I can’t even use their margarine because I case there is any trace of wheat in it. How long have you been diagnosed with your wheat allergy? Any good brands? Xxx
