Here we go

So, a few months ago I was asked to cut things out of my diet because of symptoms I've been having that were getting worse and worse. It all started well back before I was married. I've always had bad eczema on my hands. Sometimes I would eat things and then just break out in hives. Then, things got worse after I had Mckenzie. I started to have this horrible cough. I mean it was horrible!!!! I was driving Ryan crazy at night. I even got stress fractures in a rib whil I was training for a half marathon from coughing so much when I ran. It was crazy!

So, now that we have decent insurance I thought I'd go to a dermatologist for the eczema. She said it was a caused by a food allergy. She also found out about my coughing and became more certain it was a food allergy. So, she gave me certain foods to eliminate every month. Next month is eggs! Ahhh.

My New Blog

I've started this blog because I was recently told that I needed to eliminate some things from my diet. Last month I took out dairy. This month I had to add gluten to it and wheat. Not as easy to do as the dairy. So, I thought I would jot down some thought of this journey along the way. This has been a complete life style change. I had to do this a bit when I was nursing Mckenzie, but I knew that after I was done I could dive into a supersized banana split. I'm afraid those days are over. I thought I would post some of my recipes that I've been making lately.

If anyone has any recipes that are dairy and gluten free please let me know:)
