I was very skeptical when I saw on my support group that a gluten free diet can help my disease. Well skeptical may not be the right word....because I don't doubt that it has helped people, I just doubt that I can do it. I have a friend who has recently discovered that she is gluten intolerant and must go gluten free. I've watched her struggle and done my best to encourage her while being glad that I didn't have to deal with that also.
As with most people, food & I have a long and complex relationship. In high school, I can safely say that I was anorexic. I would go to the nurses office at least once a day to weigh myself and if I was over a certain weight(obviously it wasn't a healthy number), I wouldn't eat that day. I had a couple of friends that realized what was going on and would make sure I ate something. Once I became pregnant with my first child, that all changed. To this day, I avoid scales like the plague.
All that being said, recently I stumbled upon these ready to eat meals at the convenience store next to my job. Usually the store is overpriced. I was drawn to the cute little package and asked how much it was. $2.50! Jackpot!
After nibbling on a few crackers with cheese & sausage, I see on the box that it is totally gluten free! Today I tried the sunbutter....It's delicious! I did notice that the caloric intake is a little high(yes I asked someone because no I don't count calories) but I'm thinking that I could replace a couple meals or snacks with things like this easily. It's tasty & good for me.
So, maybe, I can go partial gluten free and see if it helps : )
