Finally A Great Day!

Exactly two months gluten free, and I am beginning to feel like a whole new person! Excluding a few minor slip ups in the beginning, I have been gluten free since January 1st.  Last week, I had spurts of clarity and happiness.  Yesterday and today have been great.  I am in a good mood and alive.  I am doing all those little, sometimes embarrassing, things normal, happy people do.  That is all… more to come later.

Gluten Free Wristbands!

GLUTEN FREE Wristbands are in stock! I was having a hard time reminding myself to eat gluten free.  All my old habits would subconsciously come back and I would find myself reaching or thinking about something with gluten.  I decided to get myself a LIVESTRONG wristband to support all diseases/cancers and as a constant reminder to myself to eat gluten free.  It worked! I decided to have GLUTEN FREE wristbands made!  Once I started wearing mine, people everywhere were asking me about it or asking me if I had celiac.  Not only is it a daily visual reminder, but it is a conversation starter. Over...

Abnormal Amount of Sleep with Celiac

Over the past few months, I have been tired all the time and will sleep for a long time every night.  It wouldn’t be uncommon for me to sleep 10, 11, 12, or occasionally 13 hours a night!  I just don’t get it.  A “good nights sleep” is usually referred to as 8 hours.   My abnormal amounts of sleep is one of the main reasons I am finally switching to a gluten free diet.  It isn’t like I am getting sick all the time, I just sleep a lot and could take a nap at any point during the day.  If I make myself get up after 7 or 8 hours of sleep, I find myself taking a...
