Overview

Imagine waking up one day with the realisation that all your favourite foods are the reason you’ve been sick and as a result will have to be culled from your diet. No more pizza pasta smorgasbords, no more Mexican fiestas, no more delicious chocolate binges. Or so you may have thought. But fear not dear coeliacs, your world needn’t come to an end. Instead it must simply modify.

Due to the rise in popularity of this particular 21st century disorder, eating options for those with coeliacs are no longer limited to one shelf in the health food aisle of Woolworths. Instead there are gluten free varieties of the majority of foods, while restaurants are also adapting their menus. For those with coeliacs or those just wanting to stay informed, the perfect opportunity is at hand. Coeliac Queensland are presenting the 2012 Gluten Free Food Expo over two exciting days on May 11 and 12.

With a whole host of activities to enjoy and information to absorb, the event is a great learning (and tasting) opportunity. To top it off, they’ll also be serving delicious foods like sweet potato, rosemary, brie and onion jam pizza and caramel coated popcorn.

If you’re newly diagnosed, don’t fret. Instead go on an excursion to the RNA Showgrounds. Your tastebuds will thank you.
