Oh Grace, I think I could have written this whole post! It was me, not my kiddos that first sent us down the crazy diet, label reading fiend, path, and now 6 years later I forget how overwhelming it was at the beginning. But there’s definitely a grace to having the knowledge to offer other people, even when it’s still hard to miss out, and even harder to *always* be the one cooking (some days I literally fantasize about ordering pizza or takeout. And what we save on takeout we spend on GF groceries for sure... sigh). Still so grateful for the ability that the right food has to keep us mostly healthy & symptom free.
Annelise, I HEAR YOU! I have very similar fantasies....sometimes watching commercials on tv makes me so sad because it's always some delicious looking forbidden food! Ha! I'm so glad this resonated with you and I will say, knowing there are others out there living like this, definitely make me feel a little less alone!
