My Story

I am a Mother of 2 children. Married to a Hard Working Business Owner, Steve. At the age of 40, One month after my 40th Birthday in April of 2015, After 4 months of Doctors visits, Colonoscopies, Ultra Sounds and alot of Stress. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. It seemed that feeling sick and nausea had become part of my daily life the last few years. Having an actual diagnosis was a relief to me. You see I had actually remember dealing with stomach issues at a very young age. What came next  after the diagnosis was unexpected, Fustrating and Finally has become amazing! What seemed easy...Eliminating Gluten and Grains quickly began to feel Frustating, Upsetting, Stressful and even Depressing. You see Doughnuts, Bread, Crackers, Chips and Sugary foods were a staple of my life. I ate more "Crap" than proteins, fruits or vegetables. Most days I barely ate the good stuff. Unless of course I did one of my "Fad' Diets. Over the next few months my weight just went up and was at an all time high. I had not even lost the weight that I had gained with my 2 children and here I am eliminating all the grains and I am getting bigger by the day. I contacted Doctors, Nutritionists, Naturopaths and read and researched online. I looked for Health Studies and ways that I could not just learn more but heal my body because I was just not feeling better. the common suggestion or common theme was "Just quit eating Gluten" I could have screamed...I had already done that and I was NOT GETTING BETTER! There were days I felt so stressed and frustrated that I would just hide myself and cry. My friends and Family struggled to understand. We would go to dinner with friends or family and I would find that there was very little or nothing that I could eat. I became frustrated and fealt like no one wanted to help me.
