Here is to a new begining

For a glorious three months I managed to eat, largely, gluten and dairy free. While there were blogs, books and magazines for vegans, celiacs, vegetarians and lactose intolerant individuals there was little available about being gluten and dairy free.

This blog is about being g and d free, be it for health, fun or medical necessity. For me, personally, it is a mixture of all the above. With a hyperactive thyroid and chocolate always close at hand this is both a challenge to my lifestyle and a way of helping my little thyroid out.

Originally, when diagnosed, I googled till my eyes popped out but could find nothing natural or lifestyle based to help me out - aside from two references (in average looking websites, might I add) to going g and d free. So I tried it and was really happy.. until christmas came along!

In the mean time I have found out from medical professionals that gluten does actually react in the body and influence the thyroid (if only my throat specialist had told me!).

So here we go again. On April the 4th (my 23rd birthday nonetheless) I start again, with the intention of sharing recipes and food options in the hopes it helps someone else trying to control their lifestyle, health, weight or thyroid!
