Gluten Free For Me
I am probably one of the pickiest eaters you will ever know. Since college, I have had my first orange, grape, grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the list goes on. It's pretty safe to say I survive off meat-mainly chicken, cheese, and bread. My senior year of college I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (my mother was convinced I had the Bird Flu upon my trip home from Israel!). I've never really found much in terms of relief, but I've learned to just deal with it. I have had a gluten free diet suggested to me by a doctor and several friends, but never felt like I could make the commitment. Its just such a change from what I'm used to. I want a guarantee that this will help before I do this. I don't want to spend 2/4/6 weeks doing this and not feel any better. But friends, now is the best a time than any so I've buckled down and am trying this thing out. I'm also not having caffeine. whew! You should just be glad you are not my husband right now, because I am all sorts of grumpy/whiny/tired. And I'm only 6 days in. Lord help us all!

Katie- I hope that you find some relief in this! There is a health food store in Hot Springs that I think I remember my mom talking about getting some g-free stuff from. Good Earth on Central by the Walmart. Also, the Old Country Store is on Grand towards downtown and I think they carry some stuff too. I know for my mom, having G-Free options for bread, pasta, and such made her trial with it more enjoyable. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brittney! We went to some place last weekend in Hot Springs (it might have been the Good Earth store?). It was nice to finally have bread to eat again! Our Walmart has a good pasta selection so that is nice. I hear Walmart stores up around you now have a GF section. How glorious! I need to check out the Old Country Store as well!
