April is Gluten-Free Month

At least at my house it is.

Ever since Maylee was born I've been having a lot of trouble with my PCOS. The symptoms have become way worse then they were before I got pregnant and I just need to TRY SOMETHING to get rid of them. So after reading a bunch of medical articles on PCOS, and discovering that a large majority of women with PCOS have a gluten intolerance, I've decided to give it a try.

So I decided I would devote one month to non-gluteny eating and see how I feel. I started yesterday.

Of course I forgot that we have 4 birthdays in our family in the month of April. Sigh. Good-bye birthday cake. (No, I will not be making my poor family eat birthday cake made out of rice & sorghum flour. I will suffer alone on those days.)

And I also forgot that I'm going on vacation the last week in April. Yay...gluten-free on a road trip. That will be fun.

In retrospect it might have been smarter to start in May. Oh well.

I thought it was going to be really hard to find things to eat until I found this blog. She is amazing! Her food is yummy, simple, and for everyone (not just the gluten-free weirdos). Seriously, go look at her recipes. You'll be glad you did.

Day 1 - Oatmeal, Chicken Pad Thai, rice chips and hummus, Chicken and Broccoli rice bowls, and dark chocolate. As you can see I'm really suffering. :-)
