Many people ask me what it is like to live with Celiac disease.
The simple answer is that at first it sucks. You feel isolated from the rest of society. I felt like a freak that I could not even touch a small piece of gluten with out literally breaking out in a blistering rash.
I was angry, sad and freakin' hungry.
All my favorite foods were off limits. No more bagels, bread or pretzel's from the mall. Eating out at a formal dinner? Forget it. Who knows what is in the sauce and maybe they cut the salad on the same board as the bread? I literally was starving and felt so anxious every time I would eat something in fear it would make me sick.
After some time, I started to get used to eating new foods and found that I felt SO much better I *almost* forgot about my old gluten favorites. One day I started to crave muffins and decided I would experiment with my old gluten-filled muffin recipe and see if I could make them edible with gluten free flour.
The result (after a few tries) was nothing short of miraculous. Ah ah ahhhhhh! I had an amazing muffin recipe that I could eat safely and that my kids loved. Heck I even felt confident enough making it for parties. Many people rave about these and I will make a video later this week showing exactly how to make these decedent gluten free muffins.
