Gluten Free Necessity

Welcome to my newly revamped baking, cooking, life blog!

    So in September of 2019 I found out that the random rash type thing I had had for months was hives. After visiting two doctors and having bloodwork done I was informed that I have low IGA levels. Which to my understanding also means that they can't tell from your blood if you have Celiac disease. I declined the biopsy test and instead completely cut out all gluten from my diet.

    I still feel, almost a year later that I am in the healing process and I have a huge learning curve in how I bake that I am still working through...I miss kneading bread. While some sweet treats have resolved other things like bread, cinnamon rolls, and babka are more challenging and I have yet to master them. I had already been attempting to eat low histamine as a way to help with my allergies and chronic sinus infections for a few years so this made no gluten feel a bit less restrictive. I love the baking process of kneading bread but I honestly didn't eat a ton of bread. I'm more a sweets girl... though I really enjoy a good breadstick or garlic bread! You will find low histamine things dropped in here too.

    I re-did the cover and name of this blog at the end of last year then the holidays and covid happened and now I am on the "what do I do about school" train with my oldest daughter. I plan to try to post more on here. Mostly about gluten but also about life.

    We just finished a complete tear out remodel of a Jayco TT and I plan a big post with photos and details.

      

    I hope you enjoy the posts. Feel free to leave some questions or add your opinions or things you've found helpful if you've gone gluten free or maybe you camp, have kids or are trying to figure out school. All is welcome!
