When people think of Italy one of the first things they probably think of (after Rome, Venice, Florence etc) is the food. If you are like me and have to be mindful of what you eat (especially gluten and dairy) you might be a bit apprehensive about travelling to and eating out in Italy – […]

The food in Boston was great. Loads of #glutenfree and #dairyfree options. The pumpkin caramel #vegan ice cream at @fomuicecream was the stuff of dreams! Also had a vegan gingerbread cookie (eaten before I could take a picture) which was delicious. The decaf almond latte in #pavementcoffee was 👌and the #matchalatte and #chiapudding from #ThinkingCup hit the spot but the avocado toast and poached eggs from #tattebakery was the breakfast highlight of the trip. We went to the one in Harvard and the cakes on display were so pretty! Loved it. My favorite dinner was fresh haddock and veg in #thesaltydog in Quincy Market. The homemade coleslaw was unreal. Also had burger with all the greens in The Merchant Bar & Grill and couldn’t leave Boston without trying a @wahlburgers. I didn’t have any problems getting places to accommodate my intolerances. Everywhere was super helpful! #crohns #crohnsdisease #boston #healthyboston #ibd #foodintolerances #bostoneats #glutenfreeboston #guthealth
Some photos of the fall foliage tour @barbara_fitzpatrick and I did last weekend in New Hampshire. The photos don’t do justice to the stunning colours - just beautiful! #NewEngland #travels #Fall #pumpkinpatch #pumpkin
Fantastic long weekend in Boston last week with @barbara_fitzpatrick. Just getting around to sorting out some of my photos. This set are my highlights from Boston itself - the Boston Library, the Cheers bar, the harbour, Boston Common at sunset, the beautifully decorated houses in Beacon Hill, Acorn Street and spooky graveyards in the middle of the city. So much history. Already want to go back 😀. #travels #boston
All the veggies for lunch today after a trip to the farmers market. There’s a bit of mackerel in there too. Did a blood test a couple of weeks ago and my inflammation was high. Don’t know if it’s the start of a crohn’s flare or if I had a bit of a bug. Either way I’m trying to load up on anti-inflammatory foods before getting retested so I get that inflammation down!!! All the colorful food for the antioxidants and mackerel for the omega 3’s. #eatarainbow🌈 #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #glutenfree #dairyfree #nutrition
Husbands birthday celebration with the family last night. Great night. Restaurant couldn’t have been nicer about accommodating my intolerances. Loads of options on the menu that could be made #glutenfree and #dairyfree. I opted for duck breast and all the veg - carrots, mange tout, asparagus and roasted beets. Jus on the side as always. So good 😊. #crohnsdisease #crohns #ibd #jerf #alltheveggies #dublin
Got to attend the trial weekend of the new @theivydublin for breakfast this morning. Great menu - loads of healthy dishes and #glutenfree and #dairyfree options. Staff were great at answering any questions I had about the menu too. I opted for the gluten free avocado toast with lime, coriander, pomegranate and toasted seeds (which they put on the side for me) and got poached eggs on the side. Can’t wait to go again to try the coconut yogurt with berries and chia and their green juice. #dublinrestaurants #healthybreakfast #healthydublin #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #nutritionist
