Where to eat if you need Gluten Free – Ullswater, The Lake District
Eating out in The Lake District can be a dilemma!
When camping, or enjoying the great outdoors when Coeliac or living with a gluten sensitivity, it’s crucial to find local places that cater to gluten-free diets. Exploring nearby markets, farms and shops can provide opportunities to source fresh, gluten-free ingredients for your barbeques or outside stoves. As well as cooking by your camp – there are lots of options that cater for those who need a gluten-free diet in Pooley Bridge – a popular spot by Ullswater Lake.
Approximately 1 in 100 people suffer from Gluten Sensitivity or Coeliac Disease in the UK – Many cases can go undiagnosed for years or even a lifetime.
Being Gluten Intolerant or Coeliac can be a nightmare when deciding to eat out. It was later life when I showed symptoms of being gluten intolerant (at the age of 35). I did not realise what the symptoms meant till I turned 37. I became extremely anaemic and had a painful and upset tummy anytime I ate something with gluten in. It was then when I was diagnosed as developing an allergy to gluten.
.
I had to adapt to changing my diet quickly and eating out became something that my partner and I had to research. This was with much trial and error. However, I have adapted quickly ad many places have adapted with the times also. With the help of a good friend I found out there are lots of places who cater for us. Pooley Bridge, by Ullswater, luckily has many cafes and pubs that serve up Gluten Free food, as well as some of the campsites too!
