My name is Erica and I've been gluten free for one whole year!! Time has just flown by. I hope that I can help others with the transition to a gluten free lifestyle. It's a hard transition, but once you step forward, you'll never want to take a step back.
Gluten is a protein found in rye, barley, and wheat. It is also found in sooo many other things, but those are your basics you should really avoid. Walk away! If you're reading this and trying to figure out whether gluten free is right for you or not, I'd like to let you know how much I've changed in the past year.
A year ago I decided to go gluten free because I got real ill. I was experiencing the most intense acid reflux and indigestion. ANYTHING I ate made me sick. It was extremely frustrating. Food would go down and then come back up. Sorry to be graphic. My best friend had been gluten free for half a year and feeling amazing, so I gave it a try.
At first it felt like it wasn't working. There was no difference in my symptoms, but I started to lose a little weight, and who is going to object to that!? So I decided to continue. Now I am year into this, not only is my acid reflux gone, but I feel like a new person. I feel so happy, I'm not tired anymore, my anxiety has decreased dramatically, and lastly my body feels amazing. I feel like I was bloated my whole life and just didn't know it! So a year later I am 25 pounds thinner and loving my life.
I am hoping to use this blog to help others, and provide recipes I have tweaked to be gluten free. My goal is to have gluten containing recipes, and remake them to be gluten free. I will tweak until you can't tell there's not an ounce of gluten.
Please join me on my journey!
Do not hesitate to ask any questions!
