The Very Reason I Started Free From G

I get a lot of emails from parents who have coeliac children, sometimes they want advice - which I of course happily give to the best of my ability - but mostly it's a simple thank you. The following message made me so happy and I wanted to share it because this is the reason Free From G exists:

"Finally I have found a gluten free blog written by a normal person. My daughter age 12 has coeliacs and not so fussed on vegan, organic macro (weird) food. Most sites I have visited seem to throw the baby out with the bathwater ie if it's not free-range sustainable chicken it's bad for you. (I am exaggerating a little) Anyway, She just wants tasty food that is gluten free. Luckily we love to cook and she is happy to give new things a try. So thank you for your informative blog."

If you haven't read the about me page (why the devil not?!) you probably don't know why I started writing this mismash of words. It was quite simply because I needed information, I needed to know what I could actually eat and it seemed like a great idea to write down my findings so I had something to refer to. It became obvious that it was worth sharing because I couldn't find the content I wanted anywhere else online and maybe that was the same for others too.

So to have that email from a parent and know that I've made a bit of a difference to someone, especially a child, that means the world to me.

Silliness will resume in the coming days...
