My name is Nicole and this is my first Blog, so please bear with me!!
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in June 2020. Getting diagnosed with Celiac is a real treat - NOT! - because they make you eat gluten for at least 3 weeks before having an endoscopy. It’s the gold standard for diagnosis but you have to make yourself feel awful to do it. I took the “Go Big or Go Home” approach and ate almost all the foods on my bucket list. As a result if this approach, I damaged my Villi enough that I also ended up not being able to eat dairy. 😭😭
I ended up going grain free in October 2020 after making it through a round of Whole30. That round of Whole30 taught me so much about my body and I realized that all grains truly make me feel less than good. So I generally eat Paleo-like - mostly!! I’m slowly adding in some lactose free items into my diet because this Wisconsin gal really misses her cheese!!
So you will find lots of grain free and celiac safe foods and recipes on here! I can’t wait to get started and share some of my favorites with you!!
Feel free to leave me a comment below with your grain free story!!!
