Gluten Free


I have gone gluten free! Celiac disease is why most people go gluten free. Celiac disease is a malabsorption issue, but is most off called a wheat allergy. It is definitely more than just a wheat allergy. You can look on the web and find a ton of different symptoms, in fact onewebsite I was stated that there were over 250 symptoms of have Celiac which is why most people don't even know that they have it.
I have not been diagnosed with having it but I could relate to a lot of the symptoms, one which is numbness is hands and feet. I have struggled with my feet going to sleep on and off for about 5 years. I have been gluten free since the beginning of the year with a few "cheat" days that I regretted after a few hours. I feel so different, and I mean that as in AWESOME, when I am eating gluten free.
I could see how even a few years ago it would have been very difficult to eat gluten free. I think that going gluten free is much easier since living in Austin. Having a different diet or a special needs diet here is no surprise and there are many places that cater to them.
This has been a lifesaver for use! We have also found that Betty Crocker also has gluten free brownie and cookies mixes that have been awesome. We have tried so many different items trying to keep our options open, so we have had some good and we have had some bad. I am still looking for a good hamburger bun though! Overall though going gluten free hasn't been bad.
I am hoping to update here with any great recipes or websites that I come across.
