My Story



Hi, my name is Melissa, but you can call me Mel! So here's my story....
Ever since I was about 12, I can remember constantly getting stomach aches, and never knowing what caused it.
When I turned 25, all was revealed! I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Ever since, I have been on and off gluten free.
 I would try to stay off gluten, but I would always wind up back on. It's just always been so hard, especially eating out!
I have always hated to make a scene out of myself and ask, "Is that Gluten Free?". Then there's cake and cookies, my biggest weakness!
 Everyone around me is always eating Gluten! I could never stay off Gluten for more than a month.  Well February this year, that all changed when I had my worse Gluten attack ever. I was sick and entire day, and I kept throwing up....
I vowed from that point on, that it was "Gluten Free Time".
 So far so well! It's been almost 5 months, and I haven't had any Gluten!!! All the struggle is still there, but I have learned how to just deal with it. I feel so much better now!  I would love to share all of what I have learned with you!



                                                                   With Love,
                                                  Mel
