Good job taking care of yourself and your family beyond the quilt studio. I’ll surely pass these links along to friends I know on gluten free diets. They’ll be overjoyed!KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-4947170735972977062019-01-23T15:39:46.011-05:002019-01-23T15:39:46.011-05:00Oh, WOW -- I never would have thought that food al...Oh, WOW -- I never would have thought that food allergies could cause that severity and range of symptoms!! And you had to do the total elimination for two months and then reintroduce gradually to confirm which foods were causing you grief, right? Your doctor couldn't just do a skin prick allergy test and then print you out a list a few days later? I've suspected for years that my husband has some food sensitivities/issues but he "got tested" for allergies at his primary care physician's office and "they said" he doesn't have any. Well, I am glad that you and your family have not only discovered the root causes of all of this pain and suffering, but that you have found the silver lining under the storm cloud and used these food allergies as a catalyst to gather around the table once again, enjoying one another's company and enjoying the too-rare pleasure of a homemade meal.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-37395312749579728962019-01-23T13:06:58.759-05:002019-01-23T13:06:58.759-05:00I discovered my husband's celiac disease when ...I discovered my husband's celiac disease when I was don a food elimination diet for migraines over 20 years ago. Back then, there were few cookbooks or supplies. All his five siblings have it, but I discovered and educated them about celiac. Recently, my niece, also celiac, went on the autoimmune protocol diet and found that sugar in addition to gluten was a huge problem for her whole system. It is still hard to find somewhere to eat out and good bread. There is gluten free beer now, and he is thankful for that. I could use some new recipes as the cookbooks have probably improved.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-9546616238288257832019-01-23T09:28:53.994-05:002019-01-23T09:28:53.994-05:00Julie - how come you were writing about me???

I was diagnosed with fibro more than 20 years ago, and basically told it was just something to live with. Bah, humbug! So refreshing to hear of a Real Life Story of a solution that works. Thank you for the inspiration to delve deeper into my diet to tweak and modify and improve. I already have Bluprint, so will check out the lesson you suggested. :)Barb Neiwerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489488237974557963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-73901874425188696472019-01-23T09:23:55.382-05:002019-01-23T09:23:55.382-05:00Glad to hear you figured out what was causing you ...Glad to hear you figured out what was causing you so much trouble. And yeah to yummy foods that don't make you sick. I have food intolerances, and it's a pain. I generally will eat stuff just because it's easier.
