Good for you Ashley! Btw, I love the colors....I STILL haven't figured that whole thing out after the 3 years I've been on the boards LOL
Being GF is touhg because I also keep Kosher and I TRY to stick largely to Heather's diet!
I call companies often to ask about a product who's ingredients are gf but doesn't contain the label. It's def work but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
If you see a label that says "Wheat and gluten free" it's def ok for me (as long as it bears the Kosher symbol as well).
I shop at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the Kosher stores, and WalMart Most of my stuff comes from Whole Foods and the Kosher market. Since I have to be sooo careful with my food...it's easier this way!
I try to eat as few processed foods as possible. I eat a lot of rice, brown rice pasta, beans, veggies, and fruits. I DO eat chicken...but it so very often makes me sick. BUT I can't eat tofu or soy if it has gluten and tofu always gives me a tummy ache. So getting protein is tough! I'm def. still working on that. Even fish can hurt my tummy If you have any ideas..I'm listening!
Wow, y u're tru y an inspiration! Good for you...you have a wonderful attitude! And you stick to the diet. I agree...we MUST listen to our bods...th y DO tell us what they need!!!
