  I am completely over the moon after having won Gold twice Free From Food Awards for our Calvin's Original Coconut Flat Bread. We won the categories for Bread and the Best Product by a Start Up company which includes a year's mentoring by Tesco. When it was announced that we won, I just welled up with happy tears as it means so much to me. As an allergy mom, I originally created this product so my son could have a safe and nourishing bread to eat. When I found out that it could help others, too, I decided to put...

Over the moon, that we made it into the finals at the Free From Food Awards for the categories that we entered our Coconut Flat Breads in: Bread and Start Up.

In standard western diets the main source of fuel for the body and the brain is glucose from carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet uses fat as fuel for the body and the brain....

I would describe the Teal App as your allergy buddy on your phone.  The Teal App is Your Family's Personal Food Diary to Record Information as You or Your Child Progress throughout Your Food Allergic Journey. Last year, I met the inspiring power team Joey and Caron on Instagram, it started with me liking Joey's Oakley Red Sneakers post and we started chatting. Joey is based in the US and he himself has severe food allergies so he started a US based app called the EpiCenter to help others with their allergies. He introduced me to his UK based colleague Caron who is...
