Hi, I'm Karen, and I have been gluten free since April 2007, when my

cousin was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. His symptoms were the same

as mine, so I decided to eliminate gluten from my diet to see if I

would feel better. It only took 4 days of eating gluten free for me to

see an enormous difference in the way I felt.

 

Last night my husband and I watched a documentary on Free Speech TV, I

think it was called Healing Cancer From Within, or something similiar

to that. It was VERY interesting and an eye opener for us. He has had

cancer of the tongue, had surgery and radiation treatments for it. He

has been cancer free since 2001, but has had a lot of problems as a

result of the treatments he received, the biggest of which is that the

radiation killed his thyroid and salivary glands.

 

So, today our conversations throughout the day have been trying a

vegetarian diet, and how to make sure we get the nutrients we need

from such a diet. I know it will be hard to make the transition, but

something we can do. Since I am the cook, I only cook gluten free, so

he eats a gluten free diet for the most part (I do let him buy cookies

and bread occasionally).

 

So, that is why I am here, to learn and become more informed. Thanks

for letting me join.
