Yesterday I asked my sister-in-law, a travel agent, for help planning a trip to Italy; she proceeded to gush about “the fabulous food” for a full five minutes. The pasta, the pizza, the bread, the biscotti. Then she caught herself and gasped, “Oh no, what are you going to eat?”
This is a question I ask myself often. With celiac disease and extensive food allergies, eating–on the road, at a local restaurant, or in my own kitchen–is a challenge. But it’s one I’ve learned to embrace. Sure it took years for me to accept my body’s strange and unpredictable reaction to certain foods, but today I don’t let my allergies hold me back. If anything, I’ve learned to love food and life even more. I hope my blog will inspire you to do the same.
Congrats on your new blog, Amy! Looking forward to reading it and will recommend it to friends who have the same challenge.
