Some places have zero idea about gluten-free food, even if they do highlight allergens on the menu. I have found that a lot of places oversee the fact that even vinegar and spices contain gluten. There are still a very tiny number of places in the country that are completely gluten-free, and others have closed down due to the financial climate. I feel the system just doesn't tolerate people wanting to consume healthier food as I believe nobody should be consuming gluten.

I'm interested to find out where fellow coeliac's go when they want a break from home cooking? I feel that food standards have significantly dropped in recent times due to rising costs to run a business. Please share your thoughts and feelings :)

This could be wildly optimistic of me, there may not be an answer! This is the first time we've flown at all since two members of the family (m49 and f15) had to go gluten-free and I've never gone through T5. I'm not looking for restaurants so much, more at the take away options in departures.

I'm posting here because I'm in the UK and i don't want a bunch of suggestions that I can't use because I can't get them!

Okay, I am craving a gooey mac and cheese. The problem is I am recently diagnosed gluten intolerant. (I cut out carbs for 8 months for diabetes reasons and when i started to reintroduce them pasta and bread are not my friend. Wtf body!) Anyway, I have tried various substitutes. Leek sheets for lasagne, tasty. Courgette for spaghetti, tolerable-ish. But I cannot find anything that gives the same mouth feel as pasta for mac and cheese. I tried gluten free pasta and the konjac stuff its just not the same.

So anything else I can try?

Anyone use those flours and got heads up for recipes? They're SO expensive 😱 and I wanna try them out with good recipes that are properly factored for them so I don't mess up!

Things in particular:

Bread Flour:

Bread rolls, similar to Scottish morning rolls.

Pitta Bread

Brioche rolls

Croissants (ok this is pie in the sky i never tried to make croissants when I baked before GF but 🤣)

Sweet flour:

Chocolate Brownies

Lemon drizzle cake

Cookies that are chewy in middle with crispness on bottom

Crepes

Fillo pastry/rough puff pastry / short crust pastry (dunno which of the two flours would be better)

Hi everyone, I have celiac disease,as a British Asian, I have often found it challenging to navigate foods that are both safe and culturally familiar.
Over time, I realised than many of our Asian dishes are naturally gluten free-something not many people are aware of. That inspired me create a website/app to highlight these dishes and make it easier for others like me to enjoy our food without worrying.
