So... I was kinda/sorta diagnosed with Celiac Disease last week. For those of you who don't know what that is (like I didn't), it's basically a food allergy to anything gluten (wheat, rye, barley, etc). Sounds easy, right? Like... no more wheat bread, sure! WRONG. It actually is extremely complicated and overwhelming. I never realized how much GLUTEN I was eating. It's in practicly everything that I eat. All breads, pasta, tortillas, cereals, etc.

So I've been put on a gluten-free diet. All I can eat is basically fruits, veggies, meat, rice, potatoes... and Rice Chex. It's hard but hopefully will make me feel better. If this is, in fact, what has been wrong with me all this time... I may become a whole new person very soon. One can only hope.

No more Cafe Rio, no more Subway, no more cereal. Sad.

If anyone has any tips, recipes, links (I know, unlikely), it would be greatly appreciated. I'm still pretty clueless about what I can/can't eat.

Thanks.

Emily
