Living Without
My husband picked up a copy of this magazine for me. It can sometimes feel like a daily struggle to feed our family with the food allergies we have. Anyway, after reading LIVING WITHOUT I was really impressed by the articles. It was lovely to see advertisements from food companies that are making gluten free/dairy free/egg free items. And even though we’ve been on this road for a year now, and I’ve read A LOT, there was new information here. For instance, the number of people with Celiac disease has risen to 1 in every 100 people.
