Gluten free, from me to you!

Welcome!
My name is Laura Hill, I was diagnosed with celiac disease ten years ago. Like many others, it was like pulling teeth to get a diagnosis! When my doctor had performed numerous tests and prescribed a vareity of medication with no cure, I requested he test me for celiac disease by the recommendation of a friend and he refused. He told me I could not live the rest of my life without gluten. He also suggested I was making myself sick. I finally decided to seek a second opinion. The next doctor performed the blood work and the results came back confirmed celiac disease. Starting the gluten free diet totally changed my life. The condition I was in before the diagnosis was scary, without the gluten free diet I am not sure I would be here today! From my experience with celiac disease over the years, I have a desire to help others with the condition.

It can be daunting starting the diet and changing over to the gluten free lifestyle. This inspired me to become a dietitian, in order to help those make dietary changes. I just graduated with a B.S. in Nutrition and I am currently a dietetic intern. I enjoy researching celiac disease, recipes, and the correlation between diet and disease. In this blog I want to share recipes and general information to help you navigate the gluten free diet, in the gluten filled world.

Udi's at Whole Foods!!!!

Finally after many requests the Whole Foods in Green Hills and Cool Springs have finally realized UDI's is the best gluten free bread, and the other stuff they sale is like a brick.. so you will be happy to know both locations are now selling both whole grain and white bread varieties. The one in Cool Springs has the pizza crust, and the one in Green Hills has the blueberry and lemon muffins. UDI's donated products for our local celiac support group and everyone loved the baked goods. I know the support group members will all be excited to purchase them locally.
