Entering a new Gluten Free world

I have entered a new and strange world.  A world that is coloured yellow and free of all sorts of things.  The last time I had such an experience was when I entered the forbidden world of girls toys at Toys r Us, I have a son and this world was pink and fluffy.  No this world is much more serious.  I have started to buy gluten free food.

The first thing you notice is that all your favourite foods are out of bounds.  The second is that the brands that you have grown up have gone, to be replaced by products that are similar but not quite the same.  Cornflakes are now Cereal Flakes and so on.  However, this is a cross that I will bare as the alternative is not worth contemplating.

So it is into the special aisles and reading packaging labels in great detail, worrying about eating out and what you can and cannot eat and realising that it usually revolves around the fruit bowl!   And I'm not the one with coeliac's!
