Testing…testing…1..2..3…Hey I’m Kassi Cassidy and I started “HealthyGlutes”. This blog is all about a Gluten free lifestyles and all that it entail from my experiences, it’s for a class project. I think I might even keep it up after the class is done, I mean everyone needs a hobby righttt...
I will be sharing:
- Mouth watering GLUTENFREE recipes
- Lifestyle diets tips
- What you can and can't eat if you are allergic to Gluten/Wheat
But I will get to those, in my first post I think I should explain why I chose to blog about Gluten.
WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT GLUTEN FREE STUFF NOW?
Trust me I was asking the exact same question, until about 6 months ago
when I found out I was allergic to Gluten along with a pretty hefty list of
other delicious things I can no longer enjoy.
Oh I’m sorry do I sound bitter? Yeah I am a little bitter still, but I’m
starting to see the upsides to being Gluten free. I’m not going to lie to you
guys and say it’s an easy lifestyle; you really do have to cut out a lot of
delicious foods it takes a lot of self-restraint and dedication. And trust me I've caved more time then I can count, especially at the beginning; I just didn't want it to be true. My entire diet composed of carbs and tons and tons
of bread and pasta so it was one of the biggest life changes I have ever had to
make when I was told I couldn't have MOST of my favorite things anymore.WEIRDEST PART?
I had no idea that what I was eating
could have been causing me to feel so crappy; I mean whenever I ate anything
with Gluten in it (which is almost everything I ate) I wasn’t reacting like I
do for my other allergies.
Which is a long list:
- All animals that have fur
- Animal saliva(gross I know)
- Dust/pollen
- Oh! and I’m deathly allergic to kiwis
- And now Gluten/Wheat products
- Milk
- Cheese(but I cant stop eating cheese)
- Yogurt
- Corn
- I think that's
