Since this website unveiled in June of 2009 it has gone through a few transitions. From very boring stories about my daily life to a few rants after frustrating situations to even a few short stories that I’ve written in my spare time. Now again this beloved little website of mine is going through another transition – and I ask that you please bare with me as I weave through the challenges that may come with it.
Last August a huge change occurred in my life – I went back to school. I am now in my second semester as an English major, Marketing minor and I can honestly say that working a full time job, going to school part time, and taking care of my little family is an extreme challenge – but I love it! And now, I’m dealing with another challenge.
For as long as I can remember, after eating – in fact within half an hour of eating – I get sick after eating, bathroom type sick. Not the worshipping the porcelain God type of sick; no, no, I mean the other end. I had always assumed this was normal even though no one else in my family had this issue. Recently on two of my favorite shows a certain guest has been featured and attention has been brought to a certain topic – gluten allergies and/or intolerances. I didn’t really pay close, close attention so after doing a little web research wouldn’t you know it – I matched every symptom for having an intolerance to gluten.
So now my challenge is to attempt to live gluten-free for a few months to see if it helps alleviate my symptoms. And considering I’ve already had an instance of standing in front of my cabinet glaring at the pasta that I love so much and can’t have…grr…I’m going to need all the support I can get.
So while I’m adjusting everything I’m used to eating, I’ll leave you with a couple of links to educate yourself on gluten intolerance and gluten allergies. Enjoy!
