Hello World.

Hello World.
You may finally sigh with relief, because your personal gluten free guidance center is finally here. This new emerging blog will be an essential tool for all individuals living in the Southern California region with either a gluten allergen, or even worse like myself, celiac disease.  In a country that’s consumed by processed foods and chemically injected food staples, living a gluten free lifestyle seems to be nearly impossible at times.
This friendly source of gluten free wisdom will serve every one of your gluten free needs. Whether it be an emotional need that comes up while going gluten free, or a dietary need, this blog is for you! If you feel as if you may be gluten intolerant, can’t figure out why you feel awful after you eat absolutely everything, or seem to be seeking a healthier lifestyle, this blog is also just for you!

I will begin this forum by defining these strange terms called gluten, gluten intolerant, and celiac disease. You must learn and understand these terms before we go any farther. They will be found in great abundance throughout this handy site.  I will be referencing many sites such as http://www.celiac.com , and www.glutenfree.com, for all the must-know basics of gluten and why this has become such a problem for so many people.

I will also be talking a great deal about, The Gluten Free Diet, A Gluten Free survival Guide, by Elisabeth Hasselback. Using this book I will show readers that you can still live a normal life on such a restricted diet. I will cover how to live day to day while eating gluten free, how to travel while eating “G-Free”, and how to make it through a holiday buffet while still maintaining you gluten free lifestyle.

Now food is one of the best things that life has to offer. Just because you are “G-Free” doesn’t mean you have to eat sandy imitations and cardboard crackers  at home by yourself for the rest of your life. This blog will also talk about excellent restaurants in the surrounding area that either have a gluten free menu or accommodate well to those of our kind. So the next time your coworkers suggest going out to dinner, don’t miss out on the fun. Suggest the dinning location yourself and everybody wins. It’s that simple with a little help.

Of course what would a gluten free lifestyle blog be without product recommendations? I have done extensive research in this divine area of munching. I will share one product each week that is consider to be “To die for!” My personal stamp of “To die for!” is not given out easily. Therefore, when you do see it, you will know that this product will have your taste buds dancing with joy. (Of course I will also mention the red flag items that taste as if they were never supposed to end up in your mouth in the first place.) I will also inform you as to where you can find these items and where they are on sale.

Life is a ride you should not miss out on just because you have been side lined by the gluten fairy. This blog will have all the tools you will need to jump back on board this beautiful ride called life.
