HOW TO FIND GF PRODUCTS
If you’re a recently diagnosed Coeliac, you’re probably addressing the immediate problem of removing wheat and gluten products from your diet and lifestyle, and wondering how to replace them.
Fortunately, you’re one of a growing number of people with the same problem, and your influence as a growing niche of the food market is not going unnoticed by the industry.
You’re increasingly well supported by health food stores, quality grocers and supermarket chains at retail level. Primary producers are beginning to find markets for alternative grains that will slowly be reflected in better availability on shop shelves. Food processors are slowly acknowledging the market and dedicating facilities to eliminate or minimize cross-contamination. Restaurants are becoming more aware of the value of the coeliac market, and are catering to it, through menu choices and attention to cross-contamination risks. Food labelling legislation is beginning to recognize the needs of those with allergies and food intolerance, so you can make more educated decisions when you shop.
Of course, all these changes are happening at a different pace from country to country. So to help you more specifically, below you’ll find links to various Coeliac organizations around the world, all doing great work to make your life easier.
