One of the difficulties with eating at celebrations is knowing which dishes will contain gluten and which are without. I must have made some mistake last night at a birthday party because I woke up with a migraine. Anyone who has ever experienced a migraine knows how terrible they are. They understand why someone would completely cut an item out of their diet just to avoid them. Migraines are debilitating.
My discovery that the reason I was having migraines every day was because of gluten is why I am so dedicated to eating gluten free. I don't cheat. I am truly dedicated.
No one else is responsible for my health and well-being. I don't expect anyone to bring gluten free dishes to family functions or celebrations. It is up to me to determine what I can eat and what I cannot. Obviously, I didn't do such a good job last night. However, I can learn from this and make sure I bring more gluten free items for my daughter and I to enjoy. Will I stop eating food made by others? No! I want to celebrate and have fun like everyone else.
With care and thought we can all enjoy the events that make life memorable and enjoyable.
