Birthday party, gluten free cake!

Whether you suffer from coeliac disease or you know someone suffering any other intolerance,  you would know how difficult it is to get over some common situations like the office party or your child’s birthday.

But being gluten-free doesn’t mean you have to miss out. There are more and more gluten free cakes now available at the supermarket or specific gluten free bakeries.

If you don’t find one, make it gluten free! you will find plenty of recipes on Internet. 

Don’t forget your coeliac colleague

Sometimes it’s hard being alone with dietary restrictions, and celiacs can feel cut off from their gluten-eating friends and coworkers. To connect with your colleagues at work we give you some tips:

  1. Try to explain to your colleagues what the celiac disease means.
  2. Don’t get mad if they often forget about you, keep calm and try to raise awareness about the situation.
  3. Cook gluten free sweets for everyone so you can prove how good it is.
  4. If it still hard to manage the situation, bring your own gluten-free food with you so you can avoid cross-contamination and eliminate the temptation to stray from the gluten-free diet.

With some planning and practice, while maintaining open communication with those around you about your condition, it will get easier.
