WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK
I know what it feels like when food suddenly stops making sense.
My own journey with food intolerances began with symptoms I couldn't explain and questions I struggled to find answers to.
​
Foods I had eaten for years suddenly seemed to cause problems. Eating became complicated, advice was often conflicting, and working out what my body was trying to tell me took time, patience and a great deal of learning.
​
Why Can't I Eat This? grew from that experience. I wanted to create the kind of practical, reassuring guide I wish I'd had when I was searching for answers.
"I wanted women to feel
understood, informed and
hopeful about food again"
