Welcome
Hi! I'm Karen and I was finally diagnosed with a gluten intolerance in 2004. My side effects included lower extremity swelling, fatigue, low heart rate, and eventually a breakdown of the lining of my small intestine, aka pain. All of this greatly affected the active live style that I really wanted. I didn't have "wasting" disease that many have, just the opposite, weight gain; because it was part of my bodies survival technique. So I need a place to share my experience, my low fat gluten free recipes and life style. As well as have a place to store all of my gluten resources in one easy to access location. I hope you find this site useful and enjoy your experience.
