It sure is, Lois. And it can be easy to forget the power of laughter and positivity in the light of a chronic condition x

Hi Andrea, very amusing and keep on the side side which I know that you do having read your Blog,

So thanks for sharing this and for those who want inspiration check out this ladies Blog.

I agree with everything that you say and smiled at your advice of imagining what you want and then achieving it in blocks. As I tell people to imagine what they want to achieve then build an imaginary staircase so that they can achieve their goals one step at a time.

Oh wow, Jerry, thank you! I'm so happy you read my blog as sometimes it feels like I'm just writing to myself, haha!

And yes indeed, chunking out the steps to our ultimate goals is the best tactic to avoid overwhelm and paralysis.

This can feel like contradictory advice when it comes to gluten free living, as of course complete elimination of gluten is the only way to fly where that's concerned. But I have found with my clients dealing with food intolerances that a step-by-step approach to introducing new, healthier, non-gluten, healing foods really helps them make healthy changes that STICK.

Thanks for reading, Jerry

ha ha ha ... :).. yes indeed.. I think the worry about meeting new people and what might happen if some gluten inadevertently sneaks past you is a common one.. Best be up front I guess..

As if the minefield of dating isn't stressful enough..

haha! I love that, as if the minefield of dating isn't stressful enough... glad I was up front with my now-husband!

It's that most common question (often while eating, because that's why it's come to light) that follows that leaves me a bit stumped for a satisfactory answer:

"oh... so what happens if you accidentally eat gluten?" erm...
