While this is blog of my photography and art, it does involve other parts of my life as well.– Gluten-free being a huge part of it. On October 10th I will celebrate one year of being totally gluten-free. What’s that mean and why does it matter? Well I have non-celiac gluten-intolerance which manifested itself in multiple ways of health problems. So since last year I have been feeling lots better. How do I do this? There are no pills or medicine to take, which is one reason doctors tend to overlook diagnosis.. (ie the drug companies have nothing to gain here!!). Just no gluten in my diet. The hard part is that gluten is hidden in lots of things… especially sauces and soups.
To eat gluten-free is a bit tricky and one of the great helps is Janet Price’s book My Gluten-Free Knoxville, The Gluten-Free Revolution Edition.
Barry met Janet Prince at a wedding this past spring and she past her book on to me. Since then she has written a new edition can be when purchased directly from the author for $10 or available at her upcoming book signings.
