Comment on Embracing the gluten free challenge for Coeliac awareness week by Micki

Cooking hot food in hot plastic, Ruth! I wouldn’t recommend it, sorry. It’s one of my pet toxic hates and I cringe every time I see these new cook in plastic bag things on adverts. Ugh. Same shudder I get when I see people breathing in air fresheners and spraying them near their kids on the ads too. I shout at the telly! Treat yourself to a new toaster; you can get one for less than a fiver nowadays. Please.

Comment on Coriander allergy – watch out for ‘spices’! by Ruth

It could be linked to oral allergy syndrome and sometimes the body develops these sensitivities out of the blue and for no reason. You could try to do a controlled test but you would have to cut out all those things and try a little bit to see if it caused an reaction. Worth speaking to a doctor or dietician to work out a safe way to proceed. Keep an eye out though. I haven’t heard of an allergy to any of the other salad leaves though so I would suspect teh coriander. Depends what else you ate with it?

Amanda – Some foods change a lot when they’re cooked. Not a nice reaction by the sounds of it for you. I can have a tiny bit cooked and just glow a bit red but if there is a lot or I eat it fresh. Boom! It’s bad.

Coriander is used in so many things that are free from everything else I’m allergic to. Bit of a bummer. I’m trying to find out what it is about coriander that causes us problems. Wish they would leave it out. Yukky coriander. It rules out most ethnic food for start.

Oh No! Damn that hidden coriander. Glad you enjoyed the chutney though. Almost worth it?
