I’ve suffered from food intolerance my whole life.
As a lactose-intolerant child, Easter was my least favourite time of year. I still remember the Easter Bunny visiting my kindergarten, leaving behind a cotton bud tail and a trail of chocolate eggs.
“Oh, Jo. Ah, he left you these marshmallows wrapped in tinfoil…” Thanks for planning ahead, Mum.

In my early twenties I developed severe fructose intolerance as well – so, while I am not a coeliac, I opt for gluten free foods because they are also low in fructans, which are present in bread, cake, pastries and essentially anything wheat-based and delicious.

How expensive is the gluten free foods,
My teenage son is alergic to wheat, nuts & watermelon oh & morphine. He complains constantly that he has no food, he wants cerial noodles etc quick lazy teenager foods & refuses to eat the breads that crumble apart.
His youngest sister (a identical twin) has a milk intolerance, twin 2 is ok so far.
Meal times are a pain in my house.
You probably shouldn't be hungry all the time. I'm not coeliac either - but I actually gained weight after going gluten-free, because beforehand I felt sick so often that I rarely ate well, and was borderline underweight.
