The Coeliac Shame Files

| Introduction | We are sufferers of Coeliacs disease who have had enough of being made ill by restaurants who claim their dishes are 'gluten free.' Coeliac disease affects 1 in every 100 Australians. When people with coeliac disease eat even microscopic amounts of gluten (found in wheat, rye, barley and oats - a breadcrumb is enough) their immune system reacts abnormally, causing small bowel damage and horrible side effects including gastrointestinal symptoms, malabsorptive issues and in some cases neurological symptoms. The intention of this blog is to review and recommend restaurants who do a wonderful job of serving us safe food - and there are many of them! We shall also be naming and shaming the one's who make us ill, in the hope that they'll learn from the experience and ensure safety for future coeliac sufferers - and if they won't learn from the experience, then readers will know to avoid that restaurant in future. We are all about raising Coeliac awareness and holding restaurants accountable for what they serve. If you would like a member of the Coeliac Shame File team to come and review your restaurant, please get in touch with us at coeliacshamefiles@gmail.com |
