Hi, today I wanted to do a video that was a little bit different and some of you may know that I am a celiac which means I am allergic to gluten and wheat, gluten and wheat, confin and the usual things that you would associate with bread and pasta and cakes and biscuits but it's also in a lot of sneaky things like gravy and soy sauce and tomato ketchup and crisps and stuff so that you wouldn't use your associate with weezy foods so this video is just going to be, I'm going to do a quick run through of things that I eat gluten free options that I like and that I think are nice there are a lot of gluten free things out these days but some of them aren't very nice and some of them aren't really nice so I'm just going to talk you through a bit about what I eat maybe if some of you are a celiac or if some of you are let's say intolerant to wheat or something you might get some tips from this I am not a nutritionist or in any way educated on this this is just stuff that I have found from being celiac and trial and error and stuff so one of the first things I want to talk about is my kind of holy grail product and it's this book and this is the celiac society of Ireland food guide food list even and this basically when you sign up with the celiac society of Ireland you get sent out this book and you get newsletters and stuff and this book is seriously like so helpful it just has lists you can see here of all the gluten free items and the girls by brand and it's just so helpful it's really really handy when you first get diagnosed a celiac and you're not sure what you can eat and what you can't eat because sometimes even looking at the back of the pack I might actually tell you whether something is gluten free or not so this book is really helpful for when you're beginning and then throughout your celiac life as you might say and so yeah I'm sure if you're from the UK or a different country I'm sure there's also an equivalent of this like a celiac society so just look that up and I would definitely recommend getting this if you haven't and signing up to them anyway I'll leave a link to the celiac society of Ireland down below okay so let's start off with breakfast and the most important to me is of the day no really is a really important meal and it's one of the things that when you're celiac you can't eat most of the usual breakfast things and I usually mean porridge and cereal and both those things are not gluten free well some brands might be but most of them aren't like for example cornflakes, cocoa pops all the Kellogg stuff is not gluten free so that rules out a whole lot of cereals so I'm just going to tell you what I have a breakfast and I have porridge really for breakfast and I go for this brand and it's called too too quickly I don't really have to say that but I'm going to see the brand there we actually ordered this porridge in and it's really nice we took a while for us to find the porridge that we all like I'm saying we I mean my mom and my brother are also celiacs and we all live at home so that's why we need a lot of porridge but yeah so we actually ordered this and it's really nice and it says yeah 100% pure old flakes and it's gluten free of course and yeah this is really nice it tastes just like normal porridge it is very expensive we buy it in bulk but it still works out very expensive if you want details where we get this just come below and I will give you those details there are also other parrages that are nice I like for one tried a lot of different types of gluten free porridge and didn't like them at all and read how they weren't anything like the you know regular porridge and however this brand is brilliant and there's also a brand in Tesco and I can't actually remember the name of it but it's kind of like an old style packaging and writing and I think there's either a picture of an old woman or an old man on the front but it's basically one of the only gluten free parrages you can get in Tesco and yeah look out for that kind of old there's like an illustration of an old man a woman on it if any of you know can remember the name please comment below or I'll actually once I find out what it is I'll put it in the description box down below but that is also a really nice porridge however it is I think like four or five euros per bag like this size so it is very expensive for cereal then I eat whole earth corn flakes these are really similar to normal corn flakes I think they do them in a maple syrup version as well so it's a bit sweeter and yeah these are just really nice and they're quite cheap you buy them in donstures I think they're two euro 50 or something for a box which is pretty good so these are really nice I really like these and they're kind of good price for a gluten free option and as I said they do have different varieties of things this is one I would definitely recommend because it tastes just like normal corn flakes so that's good okay moving on to lunch so for lunch I would usually have a sandwich or something and you know that's another thing when you're celiac you can't do any bread so that's very annoying I didn't cut out bread at all I just opted for gluten free bread so usually what I eat is my mother is celiac herself and she's kind enough to make us all bread and what she uses for this is this brown bread mix and this is odd lumps and gluten free brown bread mix and she uses this and the bread turns out really nice so I make sandwiches with that bread that she's made this flower it can buy in Tesco dons wherever I think it's pretty reasonably priced and yeah so that's what we used to make our bread there are loads of gluten free bread options available now if I don't have that homemade bread at hand I would go for the beef free bread and this is extremely extremely popular now I think it tastes really really nice like normal bread and this is the brown seeded loaf version and beef free they're huge range of different types of gluten free bread and like they also do wraps as well which I thought was really good and yeah I go for the beef free one if I don't have my homemade bread I said and I also go for genius they do a really good brand they do a really nice white bread that I like as well but there are loads but it's really good actually make your own bread if you like making bread and use the gluten free flour or the gluten free bread mix and that's a really good way of you know still still being able to bake your own bread just with the gluten free alternative and I think it tastes a bit nicer than the ones you buy as I said the beef free is really good sure most of you know this if you are seeing the heck but O'Brien sandwiches do gluten free bread and do the O'Brien sandwiches do gluten free sandwiches and this is the bread that you would sandwiches then the fillers usually do gluten free so like cheese meat and stuff like that be careful about the pre-bought meat process make some of that isn't gluten free but for most sandwich fillers it is quite easy it's just the bread that's the problem so once you've figured out what bread you like you're kind of good to go so moving on to dinner then as I said I never told my mom is all the celiac so luckily she just makes kind of what she used to make anyway with just gluten free spin on it so for example she's making lasagna she would get just these gluten free lasagna sheets these are from the Tesco free from range the Tesco free from range which is really good has such a huge variety of pastas and flours and lasagna sheets and all that so she just uses this so she's making lasagna so yeah vegan white is in Tesco and if she's making looks good by the way she would just use the Tesco free from spaghetti which takes identical I kind of tasted it different as that all if you're doing curries and stuff you just make sure you check your gluten free food list book that I showed you at the beginning and you can see what curry sauces are gluten free and then you have chicken and rice just gluten free anyway so do know actually is okay it's kind of just stick up meats and gluten free alternatives or you could just have potatoes and rice which are naturally gluten free anyway so that's pretty good also I also eat a lot of quinoa some people say you know some of them say quinoa I don't know how to say it but that's really really good and that's naturally gluten free as well so that's another alternative if you are not into your pastas and your potatoes and you want to go for something a bit more healthier the quinoa is a really good gluten free alternative so yeah so I'm going to move on now to snacks and one of the things I really missed was being able to have cake and biscuits and stuff and I was in people's houses or in restaurants and cafes but luckily places are becoming more gluten free and stuff but one thing I did learn is that you definitely need to bake yourself and like compare it bring a cake in a large box if you're going to a friend's house it's a line but it's definitely worth doing so what I would use from baking would just be gluten free flour so this is just white self-raising flour it's gluten free obviously and it's from the fran d'auve's farm and this is just ideal you can make any sort of dessert you want with this just substitute this for the normal flour and like I don't notice any different some people say that it's they know there's a slight difference but for me I don't really so that's just really handy like people forget that you can just substitute the flour and you can buy this flour in Tesco and dunes and everywhere and it's not that much more expensive and it's just a really easy way to make all the things you use to make just with the gluten free flour so gluten free flour is a must for any celiac to have in the house and you can bake anything you use to and it's perfect and it works really well regarding snacks that I'm not making that I'm just buying and eating and I really like these kelp in gluten free at t-cakes they're really nice actually prefer them to the normal t-cakes that I used to be able to eat they're really nice and I've given these to my non-celiac friends and they think they're delicious as well so I'd highly recommend these you can get these in dill and stores regarding like crisp since stuff I always go for either kettle crisps or the Tesco finest range they are all gluten free and they are really nice crisps so yeah for healthier snack then I go for crisp bread these are from the the called the deesco in free range and you buy these in Tesco and these are really nice they're just like those um light kind of crackers um and you can put home us on them you can put cream cheese on them or whatever and they're really nice and they're they're really well priced as well and just a really handy thing if you're used to eating crackers or whatever these are really good alternative most rice cakes and stuff are naturally gluten free as well just check the pack up but they're also really handy to have with home necessarily whatever on them and as a snack Tesco and don stores and all major shops are actually doing really nice gluten free biscuits at the moment I've known to show you now because I eat in all mine but they do like jammie dodgers um style gluten free biscuits and they do digestive and shortbread actually just tried um super value had it for having gluten free range and I tried their ginger biscuits and they're really nice as well um so definitely check out their super value gluten free section as well because I only realized that recently so that's the round of all the gluten free items that I really like and I hope this helped some people whether you see yak or and I've just intolerant to age I hope this has helped some people in some way and if you'd like more videos on this topic um like gluten free cooking and eating out in Dublin um gluten free whatever uh comment
