Gluten, Coeliac Disease, the removal of gluten from your diet and the correlation between gluten and the food groups.
Almost every person I know has asked me why I avoid eating gluten. I know that since gluten is in an alarming number of products I will never be able to fully remove gluten from my diet. There are so many hidden sources which are not labelled or if they are, are hidden from me when purchasing pre-cooked meals.
When I was researching Gluten-Free Hamburger buns I stumbled upon SOL Breads and their helpful article
Gluten, Coeliac Disease, the removal of gluten from your diet and the correlation between gluten and the food groups.
It's well worth a read.

Gluten-Free Hamburgers
If there is one thing that I have really missed since switching to a gluten-free diet it is a tasty Australian hamburger with the lot. It's not like I ate them every day, week or month - but when the craving hits there is just nothing like the combination of bacon, beetroot, onions and sauce - magic.
I have to confess that last month I broke down and bought a hamburger at McDonalds Warilla. It was on a day filled with medical appointments and I just caved. I knew what the gluten in the bun would do to me but my restraint had just disappeared. I was riding past the sign for McDonalds when headed to the car park of Warilla Library when I found myself headed into McDonalds instead. Despite the fact I knew what previous visits had triggered (stomach cramps, bloating, irritable bowel, discomfort, brain fog etc) I just couldn't help myself. Sadly the hamburger was very disappointing and I was wishing that it had been a tasty hamburger with the lot.
As I look at the photo I took of the Hamburger with the Lot from Metzi's Tasty Takeaways it prompted me to make a challenge to all takeaway operators in the Illawarra and readers of this blog
