Introduction	Yes, I am picky and gluten free! Lucky for me vegetables are gluten free. I have been gluten free since 2009, experimenting with cookies and cakes. Sweets are my weakness and unfortunately my body also loves to hold onto the sweets. All my life has been one clue after another that I have Celiac Disease. I was diagnosed at 2 weeks old as lactose intolerant, so I have never drank a glass of milk in my life. Eating ice cream as a child (to fit in! Dumb!) always resulted in severe stomach pain and cramps. Later in life I struggled to keep weight on! I heard every diagnosis - stress, low cholesterol, chronic fatigue, poor diet (well that one was correct but they told me to eat more sauces and bread!) - you name it I heard it! This blog is about my current journey trying to adjust my life to fit everyone else's life. Living Gluten Free in a Gluten World.
