gluten free familyA mum's blog about gluten-free living in Australia

There is more to say about the Sydney Gluten Free expo than I can possibly put into one blog post so please stay tuned over the next few weeks as we report on the many new products, write about some of the experts’ opinions and more importantly review some of the wonderful new products we got out hands on at the show. Here’s a quick summary and a taste of some of the things we will be reporting on here in coming weeks:

Coeliac Vaccination: we’ll give an update on where the vaccine development is at – plus write up some of the (possibly controversial) thoughts about Coeliac disease v gluten intolerance from the man who is leading the research, Dr Robert Anderson.

Lots of brand redesigns and product launches: Prepare for the battle of the cake and bread mixes as some of our favourite brands expand their product ranges substantially.

Bakeries open their doors: A bunch of bakeries are springing up all over town with fresh and gorgeous gluten free baked fare.

New breakfast cereals: There were plenty of new cereals at the show (mainly at the treat end of the spectrum). We got our hands on a box of Cocoa O’s from Orgran (that look yummy but also contain some real goodness) to test out on the young ‘uns and Freedom Foods also has a few new colourful boxes to choose from.

Wrap it up and dip it in: Tortilla and bread wraps are finally catching up with the rest of the gluten free world – bringing some great new alternatives for kids lunches, as well as some yummy dips and puddings that manage to dodge both diary and gluten.

There was tons more but this will have to do for time being…
