Oh, deary me. I think that every single thing in my daughter's diet (that she likes) contains wheat. It is depressing me, so goodness knows how she is going to feel once this diet is established.

I have cleared out a cupboard for her food. I need to retrieve the old toaster from the garage so she has her own one, and I have a spare tupperware for her bread and so on, so that our food doesn't contaminate hers. I need to empty our deep dryer because I have been cooking shop bought chips in it, and I found out today they have wheat in them. Wheat in chips. Honest. So that will need emptied, cleaned and refilled. I wouldn't mind so much if I hadn't only just done it.

She's been invited to a party. I shall have to provide all her own food for that. I hope the other kids don't notice.

Thanks to the postal strike, we haven't received her starter pack from Coeliac UK so I am still a bit at a loss as to what she can have to eat. I went with a pal of mine to Tesco yesterday, but the gluten free bread in there would have made some fine brickwork. I shall have to make my own.

The other two have their blood tests on Tuesday.
