Gluten? Is that German??

    So obviously gluten allergies are still fairly new. It's not your standard allergy. It doesn't present itself the same as other food allergies. Every person can have a different onset, different symptoms, and tolerate varying degrees of gluten. And I'm sure you're wondering if people have asked me the above question. My answer is yes and more than once. I did get a good laugh each time. It opened the window to inform friends, family and complete strangers about this new aspect of my life.
     I want this blog to go in an exciting and informative direction from the start. I don't want it to be your regular boring information that you've read over and over. With so many medical terms and symptoms and just depressing news that makes this adjustment sound discouraging and overwhelming. Instead I want to motivate you to do what is needed for your health. Armed with information and tools to help you enjoy your food and feel great. While also carrying on with your normal activities.
     So many people don't change their habits because of money and lifestyle. Imagine eating as close to your normal as possible and only making small adjustments. While spending about the same amount of money and time. And the biggest reward of all FEELING AWESOME and being the best person you can. Which of course allows you to give the best of yourself to the ones who really matter most in your life!

A little about myself :)

   Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting my blog! My name is Kyndalle Lindsey and I have Celiac Disease. The purpose of this blog is to increase awareness of the disease. I know going off gluten can be overwhelming at first. I hope this blog is encouraging for those who have been diagnosed and answers any questions you might have.
   Now to tell you about myself. I am twenty-five years old and I am from the Tulsa area. I am happily married and have been for five yrs. I am also lucky to be the mother of  two beautiful baby girls. Lorelai, age two and Kyleigh age one. They are one year and three weeks apart. That's just one aspect of my crazy beautiful life. 
     I was diagnosed with Celiac's Diseease on December 21,2010. And it has made such an impact in my life. It's hard to explain but I feel more myself off gluten. My life is ten thousand times better because I feel so much better. Before going off gluten I heard people say you will feel like a whole new person. And I now know exactly what they mean.
     There are so many people who are unaware of Celiac's Disease and the devastating consequences if left untreated. As someone who suffers from a gluten allergy I feel responsible to educate the community. Be sure to check back often because I will be telling you more about my journey off gluten, answering questions, giving advice, and sharing recipes.
