I have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) from a young age where I found that the root cause of my flare ups was due to my diet. I had a very busy lifestyle, working long hours and finding it challenging to prepare my own food each day or for the full week. I ate a lot of snacks as an easy alternative. However the products available were mass produced, processed and full of additives and preservatives and did not suit my dietary requirements. I found it very frustrating that there were no convenient snack options using premium all natural ingredients.

I have always been very passionate about researching Irritable Bowel Syndrome, looking for ways to alleviate my symptoms and network with other sufferers to share best practice. Finally, I discovered the low FODMAP diet, which eliminates all trigger foods which can set off IBS symptoms. With the help of my Mum, we decided to prepare recipes substituting normal ingredients for low FODMAP alternatives which helped alleviate my symptoms.

Hello,

My name is Kaitlin and I am the new marketing assistant intern at Fodilicious. I thought I would write a little blog to tell you all about me and why I am so excited to be in this role.

I am now in my final year at Queen Margaret University whereby I am undertaking an Events Management Degree (BA) Hons and last weekend I began my journey at the brilliant food start up – Fodilicious. I was given the opportunity to work alongside Lauren at the Allergy and Free from Show at the SEC, Glasgow through which I got to interact with all you lovely customers.

At Queen Margaret University I cover a variety of topics from business, marketing, PR and events therefore, when I saw the possibility to combine my interests in the 25-week internship, I was so eager to get started.

On a more personal note, I prefer to follow a gluten free diet and I do not believe you should have to compromise taste as a result of food allergies or intolerances. After trying Fodilicious Cookie Buttons I was ecstatic to be working with such an innovative company making a huge impact on the UK free from food industry.

Now, fulfilling my marketing assistant intern role, I will be responsible for all social media content, online interactions and most importantly collecting feedback from consumers as your opinion matters the most!

At Fodilicious we are passionate to create delicious healthy foods for those who are struggling to find suitable foods for their diet and for everyone to enjoy as part of a healthy lifestyle.

I am really looking forward to continuing my journey at Fodilicious.

Kaitlin. x
