Meet Diana who is the brains behind The Allergen Baker!
She started her adventure because of a dare. A master baker claimed she could not live without gluten & couldn't deliver an edible product without it. That was way back in 2001 when she felt like the only celiac in the world

Food allergy is a reproducible immune response to proteins in food. Non-specific symptoms like fatigue, headaches or anxiety, food allergy is unlikely.

Just because you have celiac disease, doesn't mean you need to miss out on delicious baked treats! The Allergen Baker helped a celiac mom cater for her sons first birthday. It was a hit! We love what we do. Apple pie and black forest cake anyone? #celiac#Capetown#bakery
As I've said before, if you convey the message that food allergies are "just another part of life" and not something to freak out about, your child will find it much easier to take #foodallergies in stride.
Got the Monday blues? We recommend red velvet biscuits as a remedy. Your favourite cake turned it into a bite-sized delight. Perfect with a cup of hot chocolate!

Did you know how The Allergen Baker came about? Diana started her adventure because of a dare. A master baker claimed she could not live without gluten and couldn't deliver an edible product without gluten. She ended up producing an edible product and the master baker did buy it.
#Myth: Allergy test can predict anaphylaxis
There is no current test, including an OFC, that can reliably determine whether an individual will have anaphylaxis to a food, and under what circumstances.
