I've been gluten free since 2004. Had the endoscopy to confirm Celiac. Yes, the diet is not any fun. It's like going to a neighborhood potluck and just sitting there and eating carrots and cauliflower... oh wait, that is what it is.
But I was sick for 4 years and they did not diagnose me correctly, eventually sending me to mental health (military healthcare). It was until after my husband retired, and I got a civilian doc that she saw the warning flags, tested me, and diagnosed me.
I miss pizza, good pizza. And I miss soft chewy bread and Cheez-its. But I found a cookbook --You Won't Believe It's Gluten-Free!: 500 Delicious, Foolproof Recipes for Healthy Living (Paperback) by Roben Ryberg. This is the greatest cookbook for gluten free, in my opinion. EASY recipes, EASY directions, and VERY good meals, desserts, crackers, breads, just about everything.
Quilting has been my release. I sew, sew, sew, and when I'm not sewing, I have to go to the local fabric store.
So even though I'm almost 2 years late in posting on this forum. I hope someone sees it.
It is a really good cookbook. And I hate to cook! :)
I have been diagnosed with it, but then other doctors said, gluten intolerance.
To me, allergy/intolerance...if your body behaves much the same way...all the same to me.
I don't get dog sick, but enough to really affect the everyday quality of my life, so very glad that you didn't let an old post stop you from putting this here!
It's never to late to get relief.:-D
