Lets start off with the formalities.....my name is Katy and I am gluten free! I am not a medical professional whatsoever. In fact, I dislike going and getting poked and prodded for every little thing. I am a mother of twins, working and living in Great Falls. I love what I do for a living (I work retail) and I like living in Montana (been here 1 year so far). I'm not a fan of the snow by any stretch, but my kids love it and thats what makes it worth it. I have been living a gluten free lifestyle for 4 years now. I was not deemed Celiac, but I refuse to eat gluten to be tested to be medically diagnosed as Celiacs. I found out about my gluten intolerance after a surgery I had and my body had a negative reaction to the intense surgery and this is how it came to be. At first, I didn't know what I could or couldn't eat and what 'cross-contamination' was, but over time, I learned....mostly the hard way. THIS is why I am hoping this blog along with the Facebook page will help others. I wish I would have had someone to help me learn the ropes about living gluten free.
The purpose of this blog is to talk about gluten free. Its mainly about Great Falls, Montana gluten free eating, but obviously we eat everywhere. DUH! I've lived in a bunch of different cities and thus far, Great Falls has been the hardest for eating and finding things that are gluten free. I"m hoping that this blog will not only shed light on those living in the area that have to eat gluten free because of medical reasons, but will also open the eyes of those who don't know what "gluten free" means and why its a big deal.
So, lets get this ball rolling. I'm going to post as much as possible and I hope that you find it relevant and you respond back. I would love nothing more than to have meetings and potlucks of delicious gluten free dishes with everyone in the area.
Now that my first blog is complete, I can check this off of my things to do in life and continue on. Please feel free to email me.
