 Coeliacs have their very own motto - ‘if in doubt, leave it out’ - which means, if you’re not sure about something, don’t eat it. For example, if you were at a friends’ house and she offered you a lolly pop but it didn’t have the ingredients on it, going by our motto you wouldn’t eat it because you weren’t 100% sure that it was gluten free. Or say if you were given a bag of chips and it said ‘may contain traces of wheat’. You wouldn’t eat it in case there was even a crumb of gluten on the smallest chip, because eating one chip that has gluten in it makes just as much trouble as eating a room full of chips with gluten in them because the damage is done no matter how much gluten you eat (although the bigger the amount, the longer your stomach and other parts of your body will hurt.) So remember, if in doubt, leave it out! Â

Hi Emily
Thank you for commenting on my blog.
I think the motto ‘If in doubt, leave it out’ is a really good one.
If you are allergic to nuts and you eat a piece of chocolate with some nuts, you could be harmed or you could even die!
Are you allergic to anything in particular?
Did a friend ever offer you a lollipop that might have had something that you were allergic to?
Do you think you should avoid things that harm you?
Stay in touch
Bye
