I have been a Fussy Foodie since start of 2007. After pushing my body and my mind too hard my body kind of gave in and I had to sort my life out – which involved a strict anti candida diet including a year of no sugar (inc alcohol and fruit), no dairy, no wheat and a lot of supplements.

Being a Fussy Foodie has been a massive journey of highs and lows but I now have a new out look on food and above all that I feel healthy (most of the time).
One of the biggest struggles when you first adapt to a “FREE From diet” is knowing what you can and can’t eat and for me this is where my journey to create the Fussy Foodie website started. So many people share food intolerances and allergies or just simply want a FREE from lifestyle from additives, sugars and other nasties all added to many pre-packaged foods.
Fussy foodie needs: Sugar FREE | Dairy FREE | Gluten Free
