I’ve been gluten and dairy free for 7 years. I’ll come back to this when I have time tomorrow.
It’s easy once you get into it.

All vinegar is gluten free in the uk, including barley malt vinegar. Coeliac uk has confirmed this.Obviously, avoid regular flour. Vingear contains gluten as well. You can get snacks like gluten free Porridge, MOMA do a gluten free option. Waitrose do some good Gluten Free options, and Charlie Bigham's do some gluten free ready meals.
You can create some great dishes at home that are gluten free though. A chilli con carne, a cottage pie, a curry. These dishes are easy to make gluten free.
Be aware of gluten in things like sausages and burgers, which are often made using breadcrumbs. Many soups and cheese sauces use flour too.
If ordering a takeaway, I find Deliveroo is good for labelling allergens, but Just Eat is a little generic.
I've been coeliac 16 years now. The improvement compared to when I was first diagnosed. People actually know what gluten is now!Ah you are brilliant. Thank you so much for all of that info

There is a brand (Aspall do a malt vinegar) and it did say on the label not gluten free so do double check!All vinegar is gluten free in the uk, including barley malt vinegar. Coeliac uk has confirmed this.
I was diagnosed at 13 now 30! It is a million times easier now than it was. Pasta they are all pretty similar.Thank you all for all the tips and suggestions. She’s just turned 6, so she’s old enough to understand that she can’t have certain things and why she can’t have them, but not old enough to fully understand the whole picture of how much life is going to change. My youngest is dairy free so at least she’s not the only one in the family with an allergy and different foods.
We are going to a birthday party tomorrow and we’ll have to bring our own food as is too short notice. I’m just worried she’s going to feel quite isolated and different, which at this age is the opposite of what she wants to be.
I did a shop on Sainsbury’s today and even-though is not a big one, it had a decent range. I was surprised of how many things had wheat in them (McCain french fries!). She’s quite fussy when it comes to food, more of a “beige tapas” kind of girl so I guess is just trial and error to find fish fingers/chicken that she likes.
I also bought a new baking tray and little pan to cook her pasta in, to try to avoid cross contamination.
Any recommendations on brands of pasta? We had Sainsbury’s free from tonight and it wasn’t very nice.
Also, any good chain restaurants?
Thank you
Most of the haribo sweets are, the Halloween bags I bought definitely are. Maom sweets, swizzel lollipops and their chewy ones are gluten free. Galaxy chocolate, wispas, flakes, twirls, buttons are ok. Snickers are gf too.Could you recommend any gluten free chocolate bars or jellies? Want to make up a treat bag for someone coeliac
