Today is a short blog post, but it's full of interesting coeliac stuff I've been reading over the last three months.

Elimination stations
In a bid to work out why I'm still having tummy ouchies, I recently made an appointment with dietitian Joanna Baker from Everyday Nutrition. We talked about how some of the foods that irritate my stomach don't seem to fit with the food groups that I'm already avoiding (gluten-free, dairy-free and low fodmaps). Joanna introduced … Continue reading Elimination stations

Gluten-friendly and the oaty slice
Recently I went for a lunchtime stroll with a buddy of mine to check out a local Hamilton cafe. I wasn't really planning on getting anything to eat, but thought I'd have a look in the cabinet because you never know when you'll discover a new place to eat.Clearly labelled 'GF' in the cabinet were … Continue reading Gluten-friendly and the oaty slice
Mondays
Last month we went to Auckland for a night (husband to work, me to hang out with my cousin). As usual I did a whole heap of Facebook stalking and advice seeking about where to eat long before we left Hamilton. And that's how I found my way to Mondays. Based in New North Road, down … Continue reading Mondays
Glutey tales: Lila’s story
We all remember what it's like to be a teenager. The stresses of trying to fit in while also trying to find your own place in the world ...If you were given a choice of timing, I don't think many people would choose to be a teenager when they were diagnosed with coeliac disease. But … Continue reading Glutey tales: Lila’s story
Fish Punk
I've mentioned before how much I LOOOOOOVEEE hot chips. MMMM ... But they're kind of hard to find, which is odd since potatoes are gluten-free. The problem however is two-fold: cross-contamination from gluteny products in the cooking oil, and chips that are more than just potato and oil (e.g. flavourings and coatings).Recently while driving home from … Continue reading Fish Punk
Glutey tales: Barbara’s story
Coeliac disease has been around a looooong time, it's not a new disease. There are even reports of coeliac disease dating back to Roman times. Yup, 2000 years ago.Even so, we're still I believe very much at the beginnings of our understanding of coeliac disease, and it's lesser medically-accepted buddy gluten intolerance.I've been on a … Continue reading Glutey tales: Barbara’s story
Why does my tummy still hurt?
I'm going to be real here. A lot of coeliacs I know, still have stomach problems despite being on a strictly gluten-free diet. There seems to be this story out there that once you cut out gluten, everything will be okay. You'll suddenly be healthy, happy and have more energy than you can shake a stick at. For … Continue reading Why does my tummy still hurt?
I watch you while you eat (in a non-creepy way, honestly)
I finished work early today and decided to hang out in the mall while I wait for my husband.Food courts are an awesome place to sit and eat - and for one of my favourite sneaky (and weird) hobbies watching what people eat.This might sound super creepy, but it's fascinating to me to watch what … Continue reading I watch you while you eat (in a non-creepy way, honestly)
