Do you ever wish you could be your old self? The one you were before you had to eat gluten-free? I don’t mean you’d want to sufer those old symptoms again – who would? I mean having a happy-go-lucky lifestyle where life isn’t limited by food.
Prior to becoming coeliac, I was pretty easy-to-please. I ate everything, even if I didn’t particularly like it, and I was always travelling. I didn’t hesitate to go on the French exchange at school where I’d live with another family for a week. After my A levels I went to Israel to work on a kibbutz. When I missed a friend who lived in Scotland, I hopped on an 8-hour train to Glasgow.
