It has been a challenge to get used to. Thank goodness my husband has not been diagnosed with celiac disease, only a wheat sensitivity - so he can actually have gluten. Its just easier to go gluten free to avoid the wheat. I feel for all of you who have had to completely remove it from your diet as the gluten is in everything - we went through a few weeks of depression when we realized that normal bread, pasta, and other things were out.

My Mom loves caesar salad but has cut it out since she too is trying to live a healthier lifestyle. So I told her about your post and I will definitely try this to see if it meets her standards :) She always made her own dressing! Just in time for Mother's Day. Gluten-free living is easy and delicious, but it's not something to take lightly. Gluten intolerance is a tricky issue. My son is gluten intolerant and therefore entirely gluten-free. My husband has celiac and I am quite sure my son's gluten intolerance would eventually develop into celiac as well. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Thank you Sara!

Almonds are often my "go to" snack. Almonds, walnuts, pecans, and apples are always with me. Respectfully, I do want to address the Ezekiel bread info. As a gluten intolerance/celiac support group leader, it's important to note that gluten sensitivity can be a misleading term. Gluten sensitivity does not imply as the name suggests, that it's a mild issue and, therefore, one can eat small amounts/low levels of gluten. Many folks will tell you that they believed that was the case and ate that way for years before their symptoms/illnesses ramped up and they finally cut out gluten completely or continued with serious symptoms/issues. As Tom Malterre of Whole Life Nutrition stated to my support group meeting, celiac disease is gluten sensitivity that has progressed to the stage where it meets the criteria for celiac per the gold standard diagnosis (blood test and biopsy). Anyone who has any gluten issues of any kind should NOT be eating gluten in any form. Even when one does not have noticeable symptoms/issues, gluten is harming the body if one has gluten issues. Yes, it can be silent and, in fact, celiac resources say about 40% of those with "gold-standard" celiac have silent celiac. Of course, we all have to make our own judgments, but again for everyone reading, gluten in any form should NOT be consumed if one is gluten sensitive, gluten intolerant, or celiac. It should literally be off the table. Shirley It's always inspiring to see people make such dramatic changes to improve their health and resolve existing problems. Almonds are often my "go to" snack.

I began having health problems because I'm extremely sensitive to genetically modified soy (which is used in soy sauce most of the time). There are phytoestrogens in them that mimic your own estrogen, which can cause your body to start doing weird things. The ovarian cysts and kidney stones the GMO soy caused weren't worth it. While there is still soy in liquid aminos, it is non-GMO, allowing my body to tolerate it. Jenny, Jenn, and Iris, thanks :)
