Ctrl Alt Eat - Gluten Free Australian Blog

 “With a diagnosis of coeliac disease in 2005, I faced a challenging lifestyle change to permanently eliminate all traces of gluten from my diet, in order to feel well and live a long and healthy life.

I was both grappling with and enlightened by the disease I had, determined to eat only good gluten free food for good health. As I discovered new cafés, restaurants, stores and products that offered wholesome gluten free food, I launched my blog Ctrl Alt Eat, in the hope my discoveries would help other Coeliacs feel well again too.

Thank Heavens - Australian Gluten Free Blog

 Coeliacs disease should come with a user guide. The diagnosis came delivered to my doorstep much like an Ikea flatpack. My life was all bits and pieces, all screws loose and lots of little packets to be opened. No tools, no manual, no handyman to show me the works. Just me, and an empty room waiting for a new piece of furniture.

I can’t give you the manual and I’m sorry about that. But I can be your handyman. Because I have got that chest of drawers up and working pretty good now, and I made most of the mistakes myself in the process. I don’t know everything that works, but I sure know a lot that doesn’t. And that’s a start. Hopefully a slightly better one than what you might face without me.

Making smart choices and nourishing your body with fresh fruit is a sure fire way to ensure a healthy glow and being prepared for your day.
