Coeliac Awareness Week in Full Swing

19/05/2011 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  1 Comment

Coeliac UK have done a good job this year in really using Coeliac Awareness Week to raise awareness!  There has scarcely been a newspaper or magazine that has not carried some sort of coeliac related-article, the Twittersphere has been alive with coeliac tweets and, in our own little world, Alex Gazzola (a full-blooded pasta-eating Italian even though he was brought  up in Wales) has taken up the gluten challenge not to eat gluten for a week, but is combining it with a dairy challenge. You can follow his culinary adventures on his blog Food Allergy and Intolerance Ink.

Meanwhile, Micki Rose, true to her promise to make a daily post on her new Truly Gluten Free site, was talking yesterday about coeliac disease and weight gain/loss – undiagnosed coeliacs can suffer from both. As she says there is more to come I suggest to check in and read for your selves.

    Ha – thanks Michelle! I’ve cheated slightly on the diary – it’s more of a lactose challenge (on the basis that many newly diagnosed coeliacs are also lactose intolerant)… but as has been pointed out to me by a few, including our own Micki, it was a little bit of a cheat to use so much Parmesan in Tuesday’s recipe… as low lactose as it is!

    And yes, I agree – Coeliac UK have done very well this year. Lots on the radio too – which is really good going.

    Alex.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
