About Me
Hello! I'm Beth, 23, from Halifax. Currently undiagnosed, so I'm unsure if I have Celiac or an intolerance, but I know gluten makes my body unhappy- mainly in the form of crippling migraines.
I've been gluten free for about a year and three months now. I cheated once and had a migraine for three days, so I'm strictly gluten free and aside from cross contamination accidents, never backslide.
I also have a cane sugar sensitivity. I'm a Starbucks barista and just recovering from a brief breakup so I've been wrecking myself with sugar lately- it's hard to limit other foods when I'm feeling deprived from the gluten.
I found this site and I'm hoping having other Gluten-Free people to talk to will stop me from feeling sorry for myself and get me back on track with being healthy!

Triscuits and the jumbo Ritz crackers were my absolute favourite snacks. Those come pretty high up on the list of things I miss. Walnut crunch donuts from Tim Horton's, also. -

One of my favourites is a recurring thing at work. *while eating chips* "You can eat chips???" *while eating popcorn* "You can eat popcorn????" *while eating gluten free muffins* "Are those gluten free???" ...no, I've just decided I really felt like torturing myself
