Welcome to my First Post!!

Hello and a very warm welcome to my first blog post!

Just over 2 years ago, my husband was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, and even though it is not a life threatening illness, it completely changed his life, and mine!!

Suddenly I was having to check the labels on every item of food I purchased. This meant that a weekly shop had suddenly gone from taking half an hour, to taking over an hour!

Eating out was also a complete nightmare, as he couldn't eat half of the 'naughty' foods that we had taken for granted!

After doing an awful lot of research, I have slowly began to understand what can and cant be eaten, and have adapted recipes to suit his needs! I also know what can be eaten at Fast Food restaurants and also other high street restaurants!

So why am I starting this blog I hear you say?? Well, most of my learning process came from reading other peoples blogs and websites, and picking up ideas along the way! If it wasn't for these people, I wouldn't be where I am today!!

I am hoping that whatever I write here on this blog, will help others to gain a bit more of an understanding of what Coealic Disease is, and how to live with it!

I would love to hear from anyone who has any questions!

Thanks
Nicky
