Some days are just "comfort food" kind of days.

My journey began when my daughter, at age seven, was diagnosed with coeliac disease. From a baby, we struggled with sleepless nights, extremely bad nappy rash and as she got older the constant complaining she felt sick. We were brushed off by doctors until, one day, I had had enough. Sat in the church watching the children of the school perform their beautiful songs, I couldn’t see my daughter. She was in the middle class but the children of the lower classes were so much bigger than her she was hidden.
Finally, after a lot of cajoling, the doctor referred us to a paediatrician. The consultant took one look at her and requested blood tests. These tests confirmed she was severely anaemic as a result of the coeliac disease. A good dose of iron over the following months and immediately eliminating gluten from her diet resulting in a different child. All of a sudden our daughter was full of energy, happy and bouncy. Since then, she has developed in leaps and bounds. She has caught up with her peers and is blossoming into a beautiful young woman. We had to have the whole family tested for coeliac disease as it is genetic - it turns out she got it from me (who’d have thought that what the doctors diagnosed as IBS was actually coeliac disease).
During my journey, a lot of friends and acquaintances ask for my advice about a gluten free and dairy free diet (me be dairy intolerant). I wanted to be able to help other people in my situation, so I studied nutrition to advanced level and became a Nutritional Therapist (part-time to fit with my school Learning Support Assistant role during the day). I then trained in kinesiology and allergy testing using this method. Following this I have also passed qualifications in reflexology, acupressure, various massage techniques, meditation teaching, aromatherapy, EFT, facials and dermaplaning.
