Interesting piece this morning for you on why it is better to use honey rather than sugar in your diet. You will note that I recommend honey mostly in the truly gluten free recipes and the plans. This is mostly based on the SCD diet principle that honey is easier to digest for people with …
Meat String Coated in Flour!
  Well I never. One of you asked a question a while ago about whether I thought you could react to the string on roasting joints. New one on me, I said, but I have looked into it. I checked with my fave meat supplier Sheepdrove Farm (100% grass fed beef and lamb, 10% off if …
The Boy Who Can’t Eat Or Smell Food
C sent me this story today which is about a little boy with eosinophilic oesophagitis who reacts to almost all foods. As sad as the actually story is, just look at the comments underneath.

#Gluten Treatment – Barrier Plan Package
You may have noticed in the last few days I have taken down the membership for the Barrier Plan and instead have replaced it with a Barrier Plan package you can purchase that comes with no fewer than 12 supporting documents and free updates. This is cheaper in the long run for you - and …
