true tale
My son did not enjoy food as a young child. For years, he never complained of feeling hungry and rarely asked for a second helping. He often favored hummus, yogurt, and hot dogs, but detested the kid favorites of pizza, mac n' cheese, pasta, and cereal. He had a slight frame and weighed less than his friends. I was reassured by pediatrician after pediatrician that "obesity is a problem in America" and children are picky. After many years with no appetite, a short stint of stomach pain and a subsequent trip to the pediatric gastroenterologist, endoscopy results confirmed my son's diagnosis of Celiac Disease. He was five years old.
I made it my mission to learn anything and everything about the disease: its only remedy, the gluten-free diet. It is miraculous what a strict GF diet can do for a sick body. From tired and uncomfortable, to healthy and happy. Be at ease knowing that preparing meals and eating out is manageable. Soon you will be on GF auto-pilot. I created this website because I've met so many people in the past few years who have started eating GF and asked for help. I'm passing along my family's food expertise so that you don't have to struggle. I hope you find it helpful!
DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, nutritionist, or scientist. I am a mom who reads (almost) every article about Celiac and non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, speaks with gastro-enterologist specialists, asks a lot of questions, eats GF food, and talks with people who are starting a GF lifestyle.
In additon, I have not been paid or given gifts to recommend certain GF food products or establishments.
