Plow around the stump.

That’s what we do, right?

Two weeks ago today, my son… and our entire family, really… were faced with a stump to work around.

Two weeks ago today, my son… and our entire family, really… began intentionally pursuing a gluten-free lifestyle due to a preliminary diagnosis of Celiac Disease.

Insert sad face.

Make that six sad faces.

And did you know gluten is in everything ranging from the obvious loaf of bread to the not-so-obvious tube of lip gloss?

Ice cream.

Barbeque sauce.

Taco seasoning.

Just about all fast food favorites.

Sunscreen, for Pete’s sake!

Seriously, friend… gluten is EVERYWHERE.

But… this silent stalker has met its match with this bunch! And thanks to dietary modifications, I’m happy to report that almost instantly, my son’s symptoms improved!!!  We’re still waiting to see the gastroenterologist for confirmation and a more concrete treatment plan, but it’s AWESOME to see our guy feeling so much better!!!!

Thanks to some mad Google skills, some truly wonderful people willing to share their gluten-free journey, and a very willing and patient crew who I’m blessed to call my family… we will figure this new lifestyle out.
