Be a Gluten Free Healthy Woman Starting Today. Learn How Here.

I consider my body's need to be gluten free a blessing and a curse. One of the blessings is, it makes me really stop and think about what I eat and what I feed my family, friends, and neighbors. I'm certain now that the foods we eat have a direct impact on our personal health and on the health of our planet.

The curses include several gluten intolerance symptoms. Most of which many other women suffer with daily without knowing the cause of their discomfort. Known symptoms include bloating, headaches, tiredness, and dry skin. There are many others.

Why would a person eat something that makes them sick?

Most of us don't purposely do this. We think our symptoms are caused by other things. Food is so ubiquitous that we often can't see it as a leading cause of disease. Gluten can be found in things you'd never suspect like soy sauce, beer, and vitamins.

At least I know what's causing or contributing to many of my health issues. By knowing I can help myself and others learn about food allergies and how to get and stay healthy while living with them. Eating should be simple.

Being intolerant means I have to think extra hard about what's in the food I cook and consume. If I'm at a restaurant I can't have the bread they bring to the table. I love bread!! Pizza's out. Carrot cake for my birthday? Sadly, no. Unless some enterprising baker finds this niche.

A second J-O-B

Eating a gluten free diet often feels like a full-time job and being able to help others with their diet dilemma is one of the few perks of that job. The primary task is researching food.

As I research gluten free living I will share my experiments and knowledge. That means, When I find appropriate foods, recipes, and products I will use this site to tell others. When I visit a restaurant and discover a safe dish I'll talk about the experience. I'll even transform some favorite dishes to fit.

Like most people today, I'm starting to spend my hard-earned dollars more prudently. As a result, I'm learning about gluten free cooking, baking, and non-food products. Being a healthy woman has to be enjoyable. Since eating is something we all do every, single day it has to be enjoyable as well. Healthy Women Unite! Let's eat and learn together.
