opps!

On my day 5 i had some gluten, let me say I COULD TELL. The only gluten i had as in margarine on my mashed potato.When i went to the store to get stuff for dinner tonight, i looked up every ingredient that my recipe called for. Instead of buy the orginc way of buying, i'm looking up on a Forum i found.                                ( http://www.celiaccess.com/ )  This way i can buy store brand and have the diet that i need to have for my body. Also it is lot easier on the budget too! for anyone that is new at this G-Free lifestyle like me. Its very over whelming feeling of this is going to be hard or lot of money. For me i have found the more i read and look up things, the easier it this is getting, I was so scared that is was going to be tones more money. Yes, it is a little more money but, if you still keep to what you can in store brand items its not soooo much more. I know for myself the extra 20 or so bucks is will worth feeling better.

while i was at kroger my mom was shopping as well. I think my mom, sister and Jason are just to cool with this whole thing. It means so much to me that my family and friends are helping me along and are excited about this as much as i am. feeling like poo ( pun attend) for so long that this is just a sigh of relief to know what was wrong. so a big thanks to everyone! Love you all

Could it be easy as Gluten free?

The reason why i started this blog is because of a long or almost life long battle. This battle started when i was a kid. I would always have a upset belly, stomach pain,cramping and lets just say, a lot of time in the restroom. I can remember being in elementary school and getting in trouble many times for asking to go to the bathroom to much. By the time i got in high school it has taken over my life. I was scared to go out to eat or go far from a rest room. I was a prisoner to my own body. I was trapped in a living hell every day of my life. I felt that no one understood what was going on, and how could they when i didn't even understand. Dr. after Dr. my mom took me to, trying to find out what was going on. At the end of the test they told me IBS and what to do to help this. Even after all that my stomach still hurts, still felt sooo tired all the time, in the bath room just as much and very moody. At the  time i was done with HS all my problems still there and getting worst. while i was in beauty school i really just thought, okay going to have to get use to the idea of a life in the bathroom.  I gave up on trying to get it fixed and just went on with my life( as best as i could). About 2 years ago i started loosing weight fast and out of the blue, have more bathroom trips, more pain, getting sick all day long and being so tired that i could do nothing. Once again at the Dr. and they are saying the same thing or just the wrong thing all together. I was sent to a surgen for my gull-bladder, after all the test came back fine he wanted to test me for  Celiac Disease. As he also tells me how much money that would cost when i could stop eating gluten for a far better price. If my symptoms go away and i start to feel better then i have my answer. As i left his office and called my mom up-set with this news, feeling that this is not good and how is going to work? Yet at the same time it really made me stop and think This could be the reason why my WHOLE life has been this way.!!  

After i sat in front of the computer looking for what Celiac Disease means. As i was seeing what the symptoms are and what  Celiac Disease could do to you, i felt like i was reading my life problems in black and white. When i really started getting into this whole disease and it hit me like a tone of bricks..... I could feel health and good and not in pain!!!! I started to read on how to live gluten free and to buy G-free. getting online and going and getting books really let me know truly how different and some hard going GF is going to be. while I'm learning  how to start living a G-free lifestyle i started to  get overwhelmed for all different reason and not all bad reasons either! I hope going G-free is the answer to my problems and a life long battle. This is a start to a new life and a new out look on things!
