Is it possible to eat gluten free?

Yet I was shocked to discover when my doctor gave me a list of foods to avoid that sausages and even some beef burgers were on the list for containing gluten.

And since then, meal times have been awful…

In one fail swoop Samuel lost all of his favourite meats, and his food choices became really limited. And let me tell you, telling an 8 year he cannot have a burger because it contains gluten is not fun.

That was when I began my mission to seek out gluten free meats.

Butchers, supermarkets, online meat suppliers… over the last few months I have become some what of an expert on where to find gluten free foods.

Sausage meat, chilli burgers and Cumberland chipolatas… I can now give him all his favourite meats and ensure his meals are really satisfying.

In fact, the sausages I have found are more than gluten free. They are also wheat free, soya free, dairy free, egg free, yeast free and lactose free too. Perfect!

And it is really gratifying being able to find an affordable source for gluten free meat.

Sure Tesco may have got a decent range of general gluten free foods (bread, cakes, biscuits, pasta etc), but the only gluten free meat I could access was very limiting i.e. a pack of 8 pork sausages and a pack of 2 beef quarter pounds.

Take a look:

• Pork sausages
• Cumberland sausages
• Beef burgers
• Pork and garlic sausages
• Pork and leek sausages
• Pork and apple sausages
• Chilli beef burgers
• Smoky bacon sausages
• Chicken and tarragon sausages
• Hot and spicy sausages
• Sage, onion and apple sausage meat
• Jerk chicken sausages

Their products are proof that you don’t have to sacrifice your taste buds in order to stay healthy. Hell, we all eat gluten free meat now as we can barely tell the difference in taste.
