Hello again

Well, here I am back. My personal life has been very stressful lately. My father in law passed away and my mother in law has moderate Alzheimer's and has come to live with us. Then having missed 3 weeks to get everything under control and playing catch up working 50+ hours a week, but still needing to manage my family, with the addition. So here I am.... My newest development is my doc thinks I am dairy (casein) intolerant too. My autoimmune responses are not calming down as he expected and causing congestion in my liver and spleen. Wow, has this been hard for me to accept.... I have done the testing (before I chickened out) to see if I am. But I can say that I don't remember dreading the results of my gluten test as much as I am dreading these. Then when I mentioned it to my mom she said oh yeah when you were a baby they said you were allergic to milk but I just gave your more formula and you were fine. I was adopted, she was told this when they adopted me and gave her soy formula for me. Her thoughts were that she had raised 5 boys already and she knew better..... Well we shall see

Mmmmm Cornbread

My newest GF food product that I love is Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Corn Bread. I was actually cautious to try my first gluten free bread but I will say that this is very good and even my husband and son love this. It will become a staple in our house. I am in Texas right now at my in-laws and my mother in law who is a cornbread connoisseur loves it. 5 out if 5 stars from me. GF cornbread yummy yummy

Greetings...

Wow, where does one start when they are starting a blog. This has been somewhat overwhelming... but I am going for it. I have been diagnosed with gluten intolerance got the diagnosis last Thursday. This has not been easy... Over the next few weeks I will introduce different portions of my world to you. There is just way too much for one day (lol) so I will break it up. My life starting last Thursday on must be gluten free. In the past few days, since receiving my diagnosis my experiences with telling people about this have been mixed. While some that I have shared with that who know someone who also shares my condition are understanding and supportive others have dismissed it as a new fad and "everyone is gluten intolerant". I feel it is my duty/destiny to share/blog this with you. While I have only had this condition for less than a week I feel like I have been brought here for a reason.... So here I am gluten-free, married with a 4 year old son and 19 year old daughter and a grandmother soon. Life has handed me this, and I am strong so I know life has not given me anything more than I can handle...
