Gluten free in Cyprus

I came to Cyprus after being away for 4 years. Cyprus was our home for 16 years. My youngest son Danny was born in Cyprus, my 2 older children graduated from school in Cyprus. Cyprus is our second home. We loved our life and we made friends, they are more like extended family. More than anything it's our friends that make us come back and the feeling we have when we are here is very harmonious and serene.
I started my baking business in Cyprus, I had 1 young boy who had the gluten free allergy and his mom would always order cookies,muffins and cakes from me.
In the 90's, Celiac was unheard of or very rare. Doctors were starting to diagnose children with Celiac or the gluten allergy.
Now, there is a society for people who have the gluten allergy. Shops are selling gluten free food products. More awareness is needed, but things have come a long way and people are learning more and more about healthy eating habits and organic food.
Alot of organic shops have opened. Restaurants that offer healthy salads and various nutritious and hearty dishes have opened as well.
My worry though, is that people are not conscious enough about foods that say 0% fat or no sugar added. The perception of diet food is misunderstood.This subject needs a page by itself, so i will dedicate an entire page for it at a later time.

To go back to gluten free baking, Cyprus is heading towards a big market were gluten free baked goods are available for men, woman and children who have the gluten allergy.
Hopefully when I come back again to Cyprus, a shop that sells gluten free baked good would have opened and we can all enjoy the tasty cakes and cookies even if we don't have the allergy.
Keep enjoying your summer and eat healthy.
