Hi, my name is Jeny and I began my gluten free journey on 3/3/13 (2 weeks ago) My story in a nutshell, is that 7 months ago I became very sick & was progressively getting worse. At one point I had to take time off work and wasn't able to leave the house. I honestly was not getting a lot of help from my doctors, but luckily I am a research geek & advocated for myself.
I went into see my doctor with a list of blood work I wanted done. One of those tests was for Celiac Disease. I received a positive blood result, which was confirmed a few days later by a biopsy. So I jumped head first into the Gluten Free (GF) world. Luckily there are SO many GF resources online & I live in Portland, OR, which I have heard is one of the best cities to be gluten free. We shall see!
When I went GF the results were immediate. I had SO much energy, my "brain fog" was lifted, my tummy troubles disappeared, as well as the general feeling of just being ill. I never want to look back.
This blog is to document my accomplishments and failures as I learn to live GF. Also, my attempts at domesticity. I've never been a enthusiastic or creative chef, but hopefully you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Woof! I will be reviewing GF items, posting recipes & sharing my experiences. I am sure there will be a lot of growing pains for me going GF.....as well as for my family.
