Thank you so much for your kind words. That...Jen,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your kind words. That must be so difficult to see your Eleanor being wheeled away, but thankfully it is really such an easy procedure. I was terrified at first, but now look at it like a nice long nap.<br /><br />It is great that you have such a positive outlook at well, it really doesn't have to be a loss, but rather gaining a future of making better food choices and being more knowledgeable about what we put in our bodies, in general.<br /><br />Did you ever find out if anyone else in your family has it?gluten-free musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537235102965472784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973476220812537713.post-68397071702134741012010-04-07T01:37:39.202-04:002010-04-07T01:37:39.202-04:00Happy Belated Anniversary, Anne! I was just readi...Happy Belated Anniversary, Anne! I was just reading some of your recipes, and came across this post. I am so happy that you are feeling well and have a whole year of being GF to celebrate. It's amazing to me that you have learned so much and been able to positively impact others in such a way after being diagnosed relatively recently. I thought you'd been GF for much longer, given how well you've educated yourself! Kudos to you!<br /><br />Also, your anniversary date is one day before my daughter had her biopsy to confirm her Celiac diagnosis. March 17th...I'll never forget that day, and the moment I saw my precious two year old being wheeled away from me on a gurney at Children's Memorial. My heart has never ached so much. Ugh...the grief. But a year later, she is growing again, her broken bones are healed, she has the energy to run and play like other children her age, and we have learned to adjust our lives to a new rhythm. -A slower pace, which requires more preparation and mindfulness, but also a simpler one. I agree with Heather's comment that "limitations can create freedom". I am so thankful to have a diagnosis for Eleanor now, so she will be free from years of unnecessary suffering and aware of a healthier approach to food and life in general! Congrats and thank you for sharing your story. The connections we've made this year have been invaluable as we navigate our way though our new gluten free life together. : )<br /><br />Jen KH from NCHSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973476220812537713.post-12348184738959467932010-03-25T08:02:14.282-04:002010-03-25T08:02:14.282-04:00wish there was an edit option :/ meant to say &qu...wish there was an edit option :/ meant to say "eating as few processed foods" NOT non-processed foods!<br />i guess you figured that out though!<br />:)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393355990717702446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973476220812537713.post-39799695149705697442010-03-24T20:19:48.578-04:002010-03-24T20:19:48.578-04:00Thanks Kim!Thanks Kim!gluten-free musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537235102965472784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973476220812537713.post-37026974029358278702010-03-24T16:31:37.743-04:002010-03-24T16:31:37.743-04:00Happy GF anniversary to you!!!Happy GF anniversary to you!!!Kimhttp://glutenfreeislife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973476220812537713.post-7490922576753272662010-03-24T13:18:16.178-04:002010-03-24T13:18:16.178-04:00Thank you so much!

I just had...Congratulations on the one year mark!! <br />I just had my gluten free anniversary last month. <br />It's amazing how it just seems "old hat" now. I hope it does for you anyway.<br />I'm actually grateful for this condition, as it has brought me into a whole new world where limitations can create freedom....freedom from pain, bloating, eczema, mental fogginess, freedom from a future of even more health problems.<br />It's opened my eyes to a world of eating as few non-processed foods as possible, even those that don't have gluten.<br />It's brought me back to how we are meant to live and eat. Simply. Purely. Tastefully. Creatively.<br />Not dump out from a box, heat and eat.<br />Anyway-I'm rambling!! Congrats again on your anniversary and cheers to decades more!! :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393355990717702446noreply@blogger.com
