Can you talk me through how you go about food shopping for yourself or a member of your family that has a food allergy. Do you go to the local supermarket or specialist store? If a supermarket, do you buy from the health food aisle or regular aisles? Do you have to check every ingredient label or do products advertise themselves well enough? Do you have to buy specific foods? Is your food bill more expensive as a result?

Hi vendu, Have you a lot more energy i found that i did, who would think that this gluten could effect so many. I wonder how many people are feeling like we used to and just don't think it could be all the gluten etc in food today. I have a of 4.2 kids and my husband and I. Hubby did the diet for about six months and he lost over 20 kilo's doing it and me to my kids have never been healthier unless they eat some thing they should which is very rare. My 5 year old son is finally growing at a normal rate. and my 7 year old daughter is learning. she was the main reason why we started this eating healthy and eating real food. I bake from scratch had a few disasters. All part and parcel. of it all .
