They caught up with me

I've dealt with food allergies for a while now and have seen them get worse and worse.  While for years I kept them in check, I'm currently at a point in which this is not possible.  Medical appointments and tests are imminent.  In the meantime, I'm doing the only thing that can help and that's avoid the allergens.  This means no gluten or dairy.  As a vegetarian this is quite annoying as--beyond not having cheese and bread, most of my favorite meat substitutes contain gluten.  Goodbye to my beloved Gardein.

In  the cut-back/keep-in-check years I adapted some of my recipes so they're gluten/dairy free.  Now I must delve farther.  Hopefully I come up with something good.  I plan on posting here more frequently as a way of self encouragement.

I'm so happy for the post, but wish you luck for the content... that it will get better... maybe I will try harder too, on gluten free AND my blog. Should we become 'those people'?
