Coeliac Awareness Week!
Today is the start of Coeliac awareness week. The children have made posters to take into school and TLC has some gluten free snacks to share with her friends!
TLC wanted to find all of the different brands of gluten free food so that she could show her friends all of the things she could have - which must make a nice change from talking about what she can't have!!
And I'm so proud of TLC's brother. He's only 3 and he's made his own poster to take as well so that he can talk to his teachers about Coeliac disease too 😍 He looks after his big sister very well already.
We have a coffee morning planned for Friday and I'm hoping to be able to share a few of the lesser known facts about Coeliac disease with some of the other parents. Anything that we can all do to raise awareness of this disease is great.
I still think that when it comes to food related illnesses, people are very blasé and assume you're just being fussy. It isn't until you spell out what the implications of eating that "little bit of gluten which surely won't hurt" are, that they really start to take notice.
Things have moved forward tremendously in the last three years that I have been buying gluten free food so here's hoping that continues.
Thank you to everyone for your support and let's shout about this from the rooftops!!
