She said: '˜It was a very hard time as there was not a lot of information or products back then but now there are so many products online and locally.'

Glutenfree Gourmet, A Basing Bakes, Barkat were just some of the stalls offering gluten free products as well as Laneway Coffee in Lee-on-the-Solent which specialises in gluten and dairy-free food.

Kate said: '˜In supermarkets we usually only have a small section dedicated to gluten-free food so this fair is a good opportunity for coeliac sufferers.'
