MnS started doing amazing food range. Haven't tried the bread yet but the chocolate cherry fudge cake is unreal. So so good.

My fav of M and S gf range is the pecan/caramel squares, chocolate brownies yum too and people love the lemon drizzle cake. They have recently introduced GF sandwiches that seem to be very unpopular.

You might want to try looking up 'GFCF'. It's about going not only gulten free, but dairy free as well. http://www.gfcf.com
Dairy sucks big time and can be worse than gluten.
I'm a nutrition consultant/therapist and try to recommend this type of eating as there are many complications associated with both types of food..
Good luck..

I ate at The Cherrytree restaurant in Ballina-Killaloe this week, just outside Limerick. When the waitress came I said I was coeliac and wondered what I could have on the menu. Why, pretty much everything, was the answer. They don't use flour in their sauces. I was brought gluten free bread without pre-booking as a coeliac.

And the food was to die for. I don't honestly ever remember having a better meal. I'll be back and heartily recommend this gorgeous restaurant to other coeliacs. We had scallops, halibut, quail and barbary duck. And a warm chocolate fondant served with baileys pannacotta. Mmmm. Delicious.

Zaks on Marlboro St, Cork have a seperate menu for coeliacs, day and evening. Ate there recently, just a simple lunch but nice and no problems afterwards.

My most amazing finds so far are Genius bread (although from the nutritional info it seems whoppingly calorie packed) and Tesco Free From Chocolate Brownies. They're actually nicer than any "normal" brownies I've ever had.

I'm really missing sauces and flavorings however...dinner time has become fairly bland. My favorite curry sauce is out of the question and I haven't found a replacement. Also I used to love Old El Passo Fajita Mix. Im missing both of these most.Has anyone found decent alternatives for either?

I have a birthday coming up soon, looking for coeliac restaurants in Dublin. Any suggestions? Preferably city centre or Ranelagh area

Discovery have a whole range of coeliac friendly spice mixes and I like them way better then the OEP ones.
The dry kind were out of stock in Tesco for a while but recently I saw them again. They have liquid sauces and one in a jar that has spices and has liquid sauce too. I guess just try see what you like.

My favourite coeliac restaurant in town is a thai restaurant in the italian quater called 'Koh'. You can get rice noodles there and the food is just gorgeous. It's a really nice place. Also in the Italian quater is La Taverna Di baccio who offer all their dishes with coeliac spaghetti. They make a mean carbonara.

If you look on menupages.ie you can actually also select 'coeliac' as an option to sort your results by. That's pretty handy to find new places.

Knorr doing a new instant gravy that's gluten free.

Also with the impending legislation a lot of products are changing their labeling, in some cases this means the product in question is not changing but they may no longer say they are gluten free. Be sure to check the coeliac society handbook for more up to date info on products and prepare to see lots more changes as the new legislation comes into effect.

is it that new place by the bishopstown bar you're thinking of? nellys pantry? havent been in there but i think i remember reading in one of those free papers that she has an interest in GF foods because she's intolerant herself. ABC in the english market and the quay co-op do GF breads and other bits as well AFAIK

Had my lunch in The Farm on Dawson St today! Had a lovely bowl of soup with bread and both were gluten free! They actually said on the menu that the soup of the day was always gluten free! Sometimes it feels like you aren't gauranteed gluten free all the time in some places, it may be the odd gluten free special every few days... this was a nice change though!
