WELCOME!

Hello All! So I've recently decided to try a Gluten-Free diet for the next few months. I've had stomach problems since I was young and I hear a G-Free diet is the way to go. So I want to give it a shot, but it's not going to be easy. Gluten is found in many many daily foods for example, things I will not be eating include: wheat, rye, and barley: which are found in bread, croutons, flour, breading, soy sauce, buns and rolls, orzo, BEER! That's a lot of stuff. As a college student I feel like this is going to be especially hard, my previous meals were mainly pizza, ramen, and cookies. All gone now. It's going to be a challenge but I think this blog with be helpful to motivate me. I recently watched "Julie and Julia" where Julie blogs about making all of Julia's recipes in her cookbook. I plan on doing something similar to this, blogging about my journey through the first 6 months of my gluten-free diet.

Today:

Dinner, Gluten-free rotisserie chicken with bbq sauce and sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil. DELICIOUS!

Goal: get through tomorrow, a whole day, and look for a g-free college group. I feel like most of the literature is aimed a parents with children with Celiac's. It would be interesting to see how college students are dealing.
