Today I found out I am starting a gluten free diet. I don't have my test results back, but my doctor wants to see how my body reacts to going gf. The little boys I watch are also totally gf, and this is the following conversation I had with little Liam the four year old after I found out:
Me: Liam! Guess what? I'm going to start eating gluten free, just like you! No more gluten for me! I'm joining the GF team!
Liam: Really? WOW, cool!
Me: Yup, we could be GF superheroes!
Liam: Yes! Fighting gluten-villains from making people sick!
hehehe. I love kids. Especially these ones.
Anyway, I headed straight over to our local grocery store right after work and picked up some GF goodies. Thank goodness that there is actually A LOT of gf options out there these days! I picked up some pasta, granola bars, frozen waffles, and English muffins, all gluten free!
I'm kinda bummed, but at the same time, if this change makes me feel better, I definitely am willing to make this life change. I guess we will see!

Kids can be so cute. Gluten free is getting so popular now-gotta love going through this that you at least have resources right?
I've been considering doing a good detox diet and then paying attention to foods and how my body responds to them. I'm tired a lot and I seem to have mucus in the back of my throat often. Makes me wonder. Ugh. I know diet can affect so much of our health. Looking forward to hearing how the gluten free goes for you.
Good for you! There really are a lot of options out there now. You can even go to the Spaghetti Factory and get a totally GF meal! Many restaurants are adopting a GF menu. It's great because my mum-in-law and sis are finally able to eat out with everyone!
I hope it makes you feel better! Much love!
curious to know what your symptoms have been. I was wondering myself if I am sensitive to them
Good luck with the gluten free diet, i've seen a big range in our local shop and i've been tempted before but never took the plunge, hope it goes well.
Way to stay positive!
That's a cute story.
Congrats on being two months along!!
