Welcome!

Hi and welcome to my new blog - The Little Coeliac! I'm so excited about starting this blog and sharing with you our experiences of family life with a little Coeliac on board.

My daughter is 4 now and she was diagnosed with Coeliac disease when she was 2. At the time, we knew very little about Coeliac disease - what it was, what caused it, what you have to avoid etc. Having spent the last 2 years learning about all of those things, I feel passionate about sharing our experiences to help raise awareness of the disease. As any Coeliac will know, it isn't always easy to find a gluten free option that is half as exciting as the "regular options". Layer on top of that a gluten free option that a young child wants to eat and you can often soon find yourself pretty limited. With 1 in 100 people being affected with Coeliac disease, I am hoping that by raising awareness of the disease, the implications of eating gluten and how easy it is to make alternatives, more food providers will start to become mindful of their ingredients and provide a much greater selection of gluten free options for everyone.

And of course, as we find great places to go, I will let you know!
