Happenings

It has been a tough last few weeks attempting to maintain our "Kosher, wheat- and gluten-free" home. First off, I found out I am expecting baby #3 just a couple of weeks ago, and I have a horrible way of excusing any little craving as a necessity... Take out pizza? Sure! Cupcakes from the "regular" bakery? Why not! Boy am I regretting it. Not just because I've gained half of my pregnancy weight back in a mere few weeks, but these foods leave me feeling so sluggish. What woman in her first trimester needs to feel extra tired?

So, back to the basics we go... Clear the cupboards of all the offending foods... Stock up on nuts and dried fruits for quick-fixes at the office.

A recent Wall Street Journal article talks about the validity of gluten intolerance and the differences between a sensitivity, an allergy and celiac disease. It's nice to see some validation for what many of us who've gone gluten-free have known for some time.
