3 Weeks Later…
What a fast and furious 3 weeks! The 30 day challenge has all but become a distant memory of profound impressions, unanswered questions, and a daily denial to an allergy that is of no great surprise, but a bitter, unwelcome, … Continue reading
I’ve Completed the 30 Day Challenge!
It was much easier to stick to than I thought it would be. As you can see from my January Eats diary, I didn’t eat fancy or hard to find foods, go hungry, count calories or count carbs. I simply … Continue reading
Unknown Dietary Intolerances…
I didn’t understand dietary intolerance reactions until this past year. I thought they were limited to the more widely known reactions like swelling air passages, a runny nose or rashes. A dietary intolerance can also cause acid reflux, fatigue, irritability, … Continue reading
