These days it's tough to find any foods that are safe for me to eat. While I work in an all GF grocery store I still have to read every single label (most of the time 2 times over). It's so easy to get overwhelmed--even for someone that lives and breathes food allergies.....seriously....I talk about food at work, I talk about food at home, I talk about food on facebook, I research food on the internet, I educate people on what they can and cannot eat within their new restrictions--all on a daily basis.
While it does get easier and easier to like and appreciate new/different foods, I still understand what people are going through when they are frustrated and annoyed with the limited diet they are now required to follow because of a new diagnoses. So here are some websites that will be immensely helpful when first starting out and for the latest in research.
Gluten Intolerance Group of North America
Celiac Disease Foundation
celiac.com
Celiac Central
Alergy Eats
food-allergy.org
Kids With Food Allergies Foundation
FAAN: The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network
There are many, many more out there but these should get you started!
Next time: introductions to my family and a super secret muffin recipe!!
