You don't realise how meat based most restaurants, take aways and general eating out foods are. We are also very restricted as to where we can eat, and I know Tiffany has found herself at times unable to eat anything when things like pizzas have been ordered at the centre she volunteers in or at friends houses. Fuuny how people 'forget' or find it funny to try tempting you or tricking you into eating something meat based. We even have to watch out for gelatine in youghurts, lollies etc ... it's amazing where animal products can hide!!<br /><br />It's disgusting to think that people with CD suffer for so long before so called professionals can identify the cause of their symptoms. It must be awful for those who are undiagnosed. There is a small positive in that there seems to be much more GF foods choices than there used to be in the past. Even we like a lot of it that we've tried. It must be terrible for people who's children have CD considering how difficult it is for adults :-(Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005472824657314564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576527875534706428.post-76079601557980314432011-06-08T01:38:04.965+10:002011-06-08T01:38:04.965+10:00We are an allergy family - for us ds who is very a...We are an allergy family - for us ds who is very allergic he just takes his own food every where, it is easier for people not to offer food & make a fuss - which is hard on them as everyone wants to be a hostess. He has a good group of friends & they all understand - often get nice grapes or fruit in so something for him. It is going to get harder for him as he hits adult hood with weddings & parties - but he usually eats before he goes & has a snack pack in car that he eats on way home. I always have to be one step ahead of meals.<br />Love LeanneLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420783423172718178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576527875534706428.post-62836817517861045912011-06-07T23:25:19.011+10:002011-06-07T23:25:19.011+10:00Hi Jan, I'm almost crying after reading this p...Hi Jan, I'm almost crying after reading this post. I'm wheat sensitive and know how difficult it is to enjoy eating out. Yes, you even have to check the gravy! I also avoid any foods from the solanaceae family and it's amazing how many gluten free flours have potato flour in them. If there is one positive that I have discovered is that home made tastes SOOO much nicer! Especially when it comes to sweets. What hurts most is that the people who are supposed to be there for you are the ones that are least likely to go out of their way to be accommodating. And don't forget the hip pocket! <br />Your post is sure to make more people aware of food sensitivities and allergies.Sweet Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175172836690042400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576527875534706428.post-23957303437407007802011-06-07T23:04:42.298+10:002011-06-07T23:04:42.298+10:00I do admire you, it is a disease that I have often...I do admire you, it is a disease that I have often thought I would not be able to control due to my horrendous sweet tooth. I have no will power, but I will always keep in mind what you said and if I ever come across someone with the disease I will be more considerate to there needsxxPolly Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503621871500674168noreply@blogger.com
