It’s just t... Read More

Though I am not allergic to gluten (... Read More

A few years ago, I discovered the food blog Gluten-Free Girl. It's written by a woman named Shauna James Ahern who found out in 2005 that she had celiac disease, a digestive disease, and cut all the gluten out of her diet. She describes that as when she came alive after a lifetime of illness. This wasn't the first that I heard of celiac. A former colleague of my husband's had it. An editor I've worked with has it. Two more former colleagues of... Read More
