Hi,
I grew up with a gran who was celiac, and remember her mainly just eating mielie bread and rice cakes. But recently I was diagnosed to, so have had to change my lifestyle.
I really didn't find it hard at all though. Just in the church I was at, I knew of 3 other people who were either gluten intolerant or had celiac. And we have fantastic healthshops in the Cape Town area, (two of the bigger ones: Wellness Wharehouse, Discem has a fantastic range) as well as some awesome restaurants. Tables, a restaurant on Nitida's winefarm, has a whole gluten free menu. Kuaia has gluten free optio
