  • Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners

    What are some yummy safe foods to eat?

    My 8 year old son as coeliac disease and I feel that a gluten-free diet really limits his options. I still want him to enjoy eating. What are some suggestions?

    Having Coeliac Disease myself, I adapt “normal” recipes rather than using gluten free cookbooks which tend to substitute gluten with sugar and fat. I bake a lot for treats and just substitute wheat flour for a combination of gluten free flour, potato flour or almond/walnut meal and often add an extra egg. Additionally, for a yummy breakfast I add fruit, nuts and cinnamon to quinoa to make a porridge. For any further ideas please don't hesitate to contact me.
