EVEN years ago I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, after my mum and grandad were also di­ agnosed. -.


,Coeliac disease is an auto-immune dis­


ease, where the body’s immune system attacks,its own tissues after consuming food products containing wheat, rye, oats and barley - collectively known as gluten.. Many coeliacs react differently, in my case. it is through sickness, a bloated stomach and rashes..


I had to substitute obvious foods con­


taining gluten, like bread and cakes, from my diet for gluten-free versions, which are no match. Over the years Lhave had tO: adjust to the bland taste and had started to think it’s not just bearable but actually ' nice - until someone who is able to have gluten passes a negative comment. Foods that you wouldn’t think con­


tained gluten, like sausages and sauces, can be harder to avoid or replace. And eating out is a major problem as not many restaurants cater for “coeliacs”, so I end up with almost the same meal at every res­ taurant - nothing exciting. : Coeliac disease doesn’t just come at the


lookingback 100 years ago


THE Board of Education authorised governors of Clitheroe Grammar School the purchase of land and the erection of the new secondary school. The eagerly- awaited decision for the go-ahead of the development delighted staff, parents and pupils who had been waiting for years for the school tobebuiltona new site. Crowds of enthusiasts attended the


55th annual exhibition of the Gisburne Floral and Agricultural society. The event was hailed a success and a good time was had by all. • Mr Doyle’s pupils, who were suc­ cessful in the .Trinity College and Royal


Academy examinations in pianoforte playing, obtained,the highest marks and were the only candidates who obtained honours in the Senior and Intermediate Divisions at the Blackburn Centre.


. • About 3,000 spectators witnessed the first Blackburn Rovers practice match at Ewood Park.

cost of missing out on a variety of different foods. When going on nights "out, as a stu­ dent you need the cheapest option availa­ ble. As beer has wheat in that’s no option, neither are mixed cocktails or shots, as you never know what might be in them. The only options left are “alcopops” or spirits, which can be more expensive. At ASDA a gluten-free packet of bis­


cuits costs £1.96 - and that’s only for eight biscuits! A gluten-free loaf of white bread costs £2.08, but for a less costly option, which tastes better, my mum bakes me a loafofbread. As the bread does not last more than a


day, due to the type of flour used, she has to make a fresh loaf every day. According to the Coeliac UK website, the number


J fPt A weekly look ayocaMssuGS^_2602j6_ 3nd_2laces •


of people being diagnosed with coeliac disease is increasing. Supermarkets are catering for the demand, stocking a wider variety of foods to suit the gluten-free diet however, it’s very costly to buy.


Whatever the price, a coeliac disease


sufferer will buy it as it saves the time tak­ en checking forever-changing labels on standard products - if they don’t they face the uncertainty of not knowing whether they will be ill afterwards. If the prices were lower, to match the


prices of foods that do contain gluten, we wouldn’t just settle for the minimum’we would purchase a much larger quantit)' of the goods as they tend to be of a far better quality than the gluten-free food available on prescription. Gluten-free products are usually found


under the “luxury products” category due to their high prices, but this should not be the case. A strict gluten-free diet is the only treatment for those who suffer from coeliac disease and it is a life-ion" condition that can lead to serious health complications. If producers lowered their prices they would satisfy their customers’ appetites much more.

W /"HILE listening to the news , i %/W about the impending strike


, ▼ T by BAA, it was reported that a viewer had e-mailed in to the news ' programrne to say “the strikers should


• think again about those poor people who had saved all year for their holi-


, day’(and these strikes were going to spoil everything for them. The question then arose “why do we


work?” . It would appear that one of the things


: the B /y i staff worked for was money and one thing the viewer who was complain­ ing worked for was his holiday. I suppose many people would say they worked to provide for themselves and their families; (therefore money enables us to purchase


what we need, such as holidays. Then I read ah article about a young' family who had never worked because


: they were better off bringing their chil­ dren up on benefits. They said they had no ■ choice about this, because they wanted to do the best for their children.' Who can blame them for that? Then of


course I was reminded of all the people who hnd they cannot work because of dis­


ability and illness, or having to care for a sick relative. So what are we working for? Is it prima­


. the question even bigger than that? I suppose the key lies in the answer of

which IS at peace; a healthy world free from pollution and ailments; a kind world where people of all ages, races and gender , care for one another; a veritable “land of


rily for our own selves and families, or is it to support people who cannot work, or is


milk and honey”. In our individual bub­ bles of modern day living we can easily forget that one of the most important pur­ poses of work is for the building up of all our communities at home and abroad. We forget that we are all interconnect­


ed and that ultimately we depend on each other.


In the Bible, work is a word used about


God bringing into being the whole of the created order. Work is a joy! God saw that it was good. Work is about the whole of creation and the giying of life to all crea­ tures; it is a whole and it is good. The saying that we should “work to live


not live to work” perhaps can be reworded as we should “work to give life to all not live to work for ourselves”.

Church 25 years ago


AMAZING talents of Women’s Insti­ tute members from the Ribble Valley drew gasps of admiration from visitors to the Annual Clitheroe Area Show. It was a rewarding day for Billington and Langho WI, which won four of nine main trophies on offer. • Clitheroe equestrian Tracy Benson


(15), of Chatburn Road, won a coveted Championship at the Ponies of Britain Show, held at Peterborough. She rode extremely well to beat off opposition from other riders, some older than her, from around the UK. • Flowers, music and song filled St


Mary’s Church, Gisburn, during a three- day festival. Hundreds of people visited the historic village church to admire the numerous floral displays. • Mick Merran was the new hero for


Clitheroe FC, marking his debut with two goals and helping the home side to a 3-1 win against Winsford Utd.


funds for Ribble Valley Multiple Sclerosis and for Captain Frank Hindle’s charity, Derian House Children’s Hospice. Teams enjoyed a great day’s golf, aided


by “a taste of Lancashire” on the tees, which included sausages, milk, biscuits


and locally-brewed beer, sponsored by lo­ cal business and commerce. The overall winning team was led by


Mytton Fold’s Captain, Frank Hindle, with playing partners Captain Elect John Berry, Neil Osliffe and Eddie Scott. Their 88 points left them seven clear of organis­ er Roland Flailwood’s team, consisting of Roland, his son Andrew, Graham Slater and Jim Bridge. Just missing the runners- up position were Dave Holt, Carole Ma­ her, Barbara Bryan and Kevin Bradshaw.


Nearest the pin on the first was won


by Ian Johnson, with the longest drives recorded by Neil Osliffe (men) and Bar­ bara Bryan (ladies). The only team able to nurse their yellow ball round the full course were the Waverley Wines team of Brian Sellars, Peter Main, Lady Captain Elect Jean Havard and Frank Havard. The twin aims of the day were fun and


fund-raising, and proceedings closed with a presentation dinner and auction. The two charities will each receive £750.
