Feeling Defeated

After being GF for a few months and having amazing days where I can think clearly and have no body inflation, I have realized I am also super allergic to soy, possibly worse than the gluten.

I am also lactose intolerant. After dialing in my diet, I found things like Guar Gum, things found in many gf products, I am also allergic to. I am still on an isolation diet and isolating more allergies. So even gf focused restaurants and bakery I can’t even eat at. I think I am pretty much stuck to eating only what I cook, or whole foods.

I got to meet with a nutritionist at my hospital who specializes in celiac diets!

She gave me a bunch of resources that I want to share with y'all.

If you guys want to add resources you use into the comments that would be super helpful 🎉

https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

App the helps you find restaurants near you that are GF friendly.

This app had been a total game changer for me, and I have only used it for a week!
I found my first gluten free brewery in NH, and tons of new spots around Boston that I had totally overlooked. It's user / community driven so you can see experiences people with celiac have had.
