I am a lucky person. I was born in the Europe, white, straight, not disabled, reasonably intelligent, to loving parents, who did not damage me any more than any competent, loving parent damages their children. If any of those things were different, my life chances would have been very different. If I was born in the USA, and black, my life chances would have been significantly worse. All my other characteristics could be the same, but my life would have…
This recipe serves four, with no left-overs, or generously serves two, with left-overs. It is low FODMAP taking into account the research done by Monash University at the time of writing (Monash), gluten free, and lactose free. Rather than having a separate ingredients list, I have identified each item in bold. Feel free to experiment with the amounts of the spices in steps 5 and 6. I like to add more ginger than I describe here, but everyone’s taste is…
I ordered some sourdough bread from Bread SRSLY because, as a celiac [UK: coeliac] I always want to try new things that are gluten free. I ordered Sourdough, Sweet Onion Sourdough and Seeded Sourdough. I thought it best to try the standard sourdough first.

My wife and I were looking for a cafe in the Manchester, New Hampshire area which had enough room and comfort for a day spent working on various projects. We found Apotheca, and it’s a great find. We arrived before lunch and after trying a Gibraltar Coffee (very interesting, but perhaps a little grown-up for my tastebuds), I had a coconut latte, which was very good and not too sweet. The reason I am writing about this place, though, is…
This post is part of a collection of pages about gluten free restaurants in various locations.Back to list of locations. The big problem with eating gluten free in Southeast Asia is the hidden gluten. It’s reasonably obvious that bread or pasta has gluten in it, but in Thailand, for example, it’s almost impossible to see the oyster sauce or the soy sauce that will make a celiac violently ill. In Thailand, it took me over a month to work out…
There are many reasons why people choose to eat gluten free. All the way from being trendy, to a full-blown allergy. As a celiac, I do not have an allergy, but eating gluten causes serious damage to my intestines, pain and other less palatable symptoms. When I am “glutened”, I like to think I know it (even if the research suggests it’s unlikely) because the symptoms are so manifest. But how can you travel all around the world, and be…
