The lovely people at the Newburn Bakehouse sent me a huge box of their new #glutenfree thins to try out. Look out for the new Seeded Sandwich Thins and Fruity Snack Thins with orange and sultana. Both varieties were really tasty and definitely 'Free of gluten, Full of Soul!' They are gluten free, wheat free and dairy free so perfect for me. A little bit of a treat on my … [Read more...]

Allergy free breakfast – toast and marmalade

07/09/2012 by Ruth Holroyd 2 Comments

Not the most adventurous breakfast but it looked so pretty I snapped it. I'm enjoying the new Pure Olive spread, which tasted yummy on the toast, with the zesty marmalade. Sainsbury's Soft Brown Seeded sliced loaf is also one of my favourites. The slices are quite minute but they hold together really well, have a springy consistency (almost like real bread - honest) and … [Read more...]

Welcome to my blog!

https://whatallergy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2853.mp4

Hello, I’m Ruth, author and blogger

Ruth

 

Hi I'm Ruth. I've grown up with eczema and multiple life-threatening allergies and collected more as I've got older.  It started with a peanut allergy and now I'm allergic to milk, wheat, soya and many more. In this blog I share tips, advice and things I've learnt living with allergies, asthma and eczema with a focus on topical steroid withdrawal. You can buy my books, which are brilliant by the way! The first is Anaphylaxis: The essential guide and the second, The Shape of Skin, healing poems for eczema and sensitive skin. The reviews speak for themselves. If you want to chat you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (links below). Do get in touch. And please comment on blogs, it makes a humble blogger do a little happy dance!
