pills. friend or foe

according to my facebook page i said that if it were Gods will id be able to blog tonight. it is. but this will be my second blog tonight. you wont be able to see the first one. neither will i for that matter. pills. yes. a big prob especilly if you dont read what your taking very carefully. i didnt. one paper said it was gluten free. right there in black and white. for all the world to see. i bought it. "B" complex. got it home and then read the back. WHEAT!!!! nice. i was lucky on that one. not so on the second one. i also needed natural E. i thought i would try a new one. it had selenium in it. after three days on it i was an absolute mess. focus gone, feeling weird, i felt glutented. hubby checked up on it. he didnt think that it was gluten but maybe it had been contaminated. it didnt matter to me. i was sick & i wanted it to stop. i had prayed about it before i figured it out. ive learned to give stuff like this to the Lord, he cares ,even about my gluten issues. im glad that i have him here with me in this. i cant do this without Him. and learning how to trust Him to take care of me when sometimes me or my hubby cant. its actually an awesome thing this release unto Him. anyway, read those backs on your pills. also look at your every day stuff like shampoo, lotion, face creams. some of you might be getting sick becouse of these things. im thankful its not that bad for me unless i injest it. only one thing i have has it. i just wash my hands after using it. pay attention to what your gtting. check, double check& triple check if you have to. the internet is a fab tool to use to learn all sorts of things. what companies care about us, and what they are doing to help keep us safe. its actually kinda cool. but some companies are only out for the big gluten free bucks. go to glutenfreeville.com and read gluten free moms story. very eye opening. i gotta go before my computer shuts off again. hey!!!! read your products. and be safe. the gluten free princess

i have lots of words & im not afraid to use them

the title pretty much sums me up. i am gluten free & im glad!! i dont spell very well, punctuations are not my friends. for those like my mom & one of my best friends who will most likely be correcting all those things for me, im sorry. i cant say sorry for how i am but ... well, i hope you love me anyways.
a little about me. im almost 43. married 10 yrs to the most wonderful hubby(hes not gluten free but chooses to be this way) i work in a little tea shop. ive been gluten free since sept. im self diagnosed gluten intolerant. im one of the 40 bazillion that doesnt have health insurance but i feel so much better and really thats all that matters!! im certanly NOT a doc. i read mags, find stuff on line, books, other gluten free friends. (GFF's) im excited about this blog becouse im getting the impression that there are gff's out there who are afraid, dont know where to go, what to do. how about that restaurant thing??? well that was a hoot for me & still is sometimes. those following my blog im in the pacific northwest. puyallup, wash to be exact. so the places i recommend will be local unless of course im traveling. hubby loves to cook, im the baker. i have made gluten free scones. & a gluten free cream pie that was pretty darn close to heaven!! oh yeah! we are less then "profesional" foodies but foodies non the less!!! ive done the first holidays(stressed!) going to familys for dinner (brought my own thank God!!) baby steps with restaurants!!! (scary!!!) ive learned a bunch from other bloggers. and people on facebook that have fan pages. theres info out there & i choose to look for it and learn from it. but mostly my hubby looks up stuff for me, i never know where to go or what to look up, BUT im learning. so... lets learn stuff together.
