This is my experience with gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease. I'm gluten free, and life is great! Not that I'm not facing some challenges, but here's where I'll meet each and every one. Hopefully some others will benefit from my experiences. I love food, and this has been difficult. At first I cried because I'll never have another regular cake for my birthday. Believe me, it's easy to get caught up in your own pity. At some point, you have to pick yourself up, realize you're getting healthy by giving up gluten, and rediscover a whole new diverse world of food.
