Whether you are new to the gluten free lifestyle or a veteran, you know how important support is to your success. That is why we have started Gluten Free Star Valley, to provide a much needed resource to our community.
When we first found out my husband needed to go gluten free we were overwhelmed, to say the least. We had more questions than we knew how to answer. Our first question: What is gluten? When we figured that out, and recovered from the shock of what foods were now off limits, we immediately wondered if there was anything he could eat.
After passing through the inevitable stage of depression that accompanied the overwhelming realization that food, as we knew it, would never be the same, we decided to become proactive.
Experimenting with new recipes, exchanging tips with friends, and a lot of research have helped us to understand that gluten free isn't the end of the world. In fact, there are gluten free substitutions out there for nearly everything we thought my husband would never taste again.
During our introduction into the gluten free world we were blessed with help from family, friends, and neighbors who did everything from buy us gluten free bread mixes to introducing us to someone well acquainted with the gluten free lifestyle. Without all this support, we would still be struggling.
So, if you are gluten free, or have a family member or friend who is, join us.
Support...is everything.
