Born in Scotland in 1948, I moved to Dublin Ireland in 1952 where I've lived since. . In May 2005 I decided to stop smoking and believe this was the trigger for my Coeliac Disease. Smoking Protects against the developement of Adult Coeliac Disease . After formal diagnosis by Blood tests, Biopsy and stool tests, I met with the dietitian. They informed me I needed to avoid, Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats and derivatives and I need to eat only Gluten Free items.
I thought 'How bad could that be' ? . Boy was I in for a rude awakening, . The bread tasted like re-constituted sawdust! The cakes were dry and loaded with sugar to hide the 'gritty aftertaste' The Pizza Bases, We'll I'm being kind by saying the cardboard packaging had more palatability. . That did it, 'This was a fate worse than death' No more decent bread or 'goodies'. That drove me to do something about it, I looked at cookbooks , regular and Gluten Free and started watching the Food Channels on TV. . I eventually managed to teach myself to bake.
