Christmas – it’s the season to eat, drink and be merry. But what if eating and drinking get in the way of being merry? Anyone who has a food intolerance will tell you how easily it can spoil the festive fun.
As the Advent calendar doors get ripped open and evenings start to involve mulled wine and mince pies, I often bounce between feeling tired, bloated and sick, and having heartburn, acid-reflux and stomach ache. I’ve spent almost as much time locked in bathrooms following overly-indulgent festive dinners as Santa Claus spends on his sleigh. I’ve even been asked at a friend’s Christmas party when my baby was due, thanks to my incredibly bloated stomach..
I’m intolerant to lots of ready-made canapés and party foods, thanks to the gluten and FODMAPs they contain. They pop up in pigs in blankets, marinades and anything wrapped in pastry. Whilst it’s easier than ever to get free-from offerings in supermarkets, it’s more fun to make your own.
