Gluten Free...

I stumbled upon a great pizza recipe a few days ago. It was for gluten free pizza. I thought, hmmm...how good will this taste? I made the recipe and was pleasantly surprised! It doesn't have a dough crust, thus, no gluten. It is, however, full of cheesy goodness! lol

In my quest for gluten free recipes for some of my favorite foods, I've come across only a few that are really great! This lifestyle change is going to take some getting used to, but I think I can do it. It's out of necessity that I change what & how I eat. If I don't, I am one sick puppy! I don't remember in all of my life hurting as much as I did a couple of weeks ago when I stayed in bed for 3 days because every joint hurt so badly that I could barely move. For me to cry, I have to be really sick or hurt really badly and cry I did. Tylenol helped some, but I refused to take anything stronger. All this came about because I had eaten too much wheat. I know I'm not supposed to, but I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't find anything good to eat. Bread is one of my favorite foods. Bread to me is like ice cream to my kids. lol Life is just not the same without it. I was starting to feel depressed and thought I'd eat just a couple of things and while I'd be sick, it wouldn't be so bad....Right.
Besides all the normal symptoms of a wheat allergy that I normally have, I developed a rash on my left arm again and what felt like every cell of my body hurt so badly that all I wanted to do was curl up in the fetal position and sleep. It hurt to move, hell, it hurt just to think about moving! Finally near the end of the third day, the pain started to ease some and I realized it was because I had not eaten any wheat in 3 days. It clicked. I realized that I needed to suck it up and move forward. And, that if I changed the way I ate, I'd feel better.
I'm feeling better now and don't think I'll be moping any time soon. :)
