 If you are anything like me, you start to dread the Summer months from about April. Despite the lovely sunshine, it brings with it the nasty P stuff: pollen! I thought I was getting away with it this year - my hayfever usually starts mid-May and I got my first symptoms 2 days ago. Milder …

I am writing this tip for myself this morning. Sometimes you have to remind yourself how to think, don't you? I am having a crap day. Actually a crap couple of days. I reacted to something with a swollen oesophagus, stomach lining and abdomen 3 days ago. The something stuck in the throat thing hasn't …
You will have heard me use the term 'gluten whiplash' before. It describes the time when someone on a gluten free diet starts becoming reactive again.
