All the cool kids are doing it...

..going gluten free I mean. I have finally decided to take the plunge and join the club. I have been hearing for awhile about how cutting out gluten has changed so many lives.. including those who suffer from migraines like I do. Sometimes gluten can just interfere with mineral and nutrient absorption, and that alone can be enough to spark the headaches. I am already on 600mg of magnesium a day plus 200mg of vitamin B2. So maybe if I cut out the gluten these supplements will be able to do their job better. I know it's a bit of a long shot but I am up for anything (except super powerful daily medications ..since I am not done having babies yet.. I think..). It has only been 3 days so far but I really don't find it super difficult - well except for the first day when I ate two pieces of pizza for dinner before I remembered that pizza is not gluten free. Ha. I know already that I am not going to completely forbid myself from ever having it, once again.. since I don't have an official intolerance I think having it once in awhile won't kill me. BUT if after an extended length of time, I find that the migraines are significantly better I sure will have to think twice before scarfing down that Krispy Kreme. I am going to try and stick with this for at least a year. I have read that it takes awhile for the high concentration of gluten to get out of your system and that some folks didn't see a major difference until 12 to 18 months. We will see how long I last. As of now I am highly motivated to learn how to make gluten free goodies. Better be watching the mail Joyce!
