If you haven't already done so, it is important for you to ascertain if you have a gluten allergy or an intolerance. These are very different responses in your body and whilst both can be highly taxing on your energy and health, they generally can be dealt with a little differently.

There are several ways specialists tend to test for allergies. Blood tests are one of the most popular ways along with a relatively new method, the biodermal screening procedure. You can choose the elimination diet and prick tests but please refer to a Health Practitioner for help. We do have a couple of specialists on our Links page above.

 

The most important thing about being prepared for a gluten free diet is having all of the foods you need to make a glorious meal or a quick snack. These need to be right there in your cupboard. These ingredients will form the basis of your gluten free cooking.

 

Gluten free is so much easier these days as we know so much more about it  – we have loads of books and information in store to help you on your way. To start, you may check out our Healthful Information section above for Gluten Free flours.

 

Our in store Herbalist, Grace Williams and a few of our other very well trained staff in this area are always on hand for information.
