My aunt has celiac and she says it used to be super hard, but with the latest gluten free "kick" people started who didn't actually medically need it, it's easier now that ever to find dietary alternatives. However it is still a huge commitment if you're going to do it right, like wineandcupcakes said. I also think a lot of practitioners suggest it as a starter treatment for a lot of ailments that COULD be dietary. Like my FIL has erythromelalgia (sp?) And my father and uncle have different pancreatic issues and it was recommended to all of them as well. It didn't work though. |

wineandcupcakes - MH's uncle has Celiac and does all of what you mentioned. We're not going to that extreme since it's not a dietary/digestive issue. I give you a lot of credit - it's a lot of work. But I assume it becomes routine like any other BIG lifestyle adjustment. I talked to MH and did some more research, and I think we're going to do it together. We already eat a lot of raw foods and many of our staples are already gluten-free, which is great. We're not going to force it on J since she's a developing kid. Plus, she's more into salad than mac-and-cheese anyway (#unicornpreschooler). Thank you for your suggestions! I may reach out if I'm stumped on a substitute or looking for a good brand to try. P.S. I was shocked that MH decided to do this with me. He's not a diet kind of guy, but said it'd be easier on me to do it as a team. He may get laid tonight.

Bahaha to your last comment oldbaylover1024! I think, given your reasons for it, it won't be a huge shift in mentality. The world is so much more accommodating for GF people now! |
