All About Me
Hey there! I’m a 32-year-old woman, happily married, and living with my adorable dog and playful cat. Since I was 15, I’ve embraced hard work, propelling me through college and landing me a fulfilling internship at a nonprofit organization. For the next 7 years, I passionately managed teams and projects, honing my leadership skills.
However, life threw unexpected challenges my way – chronic illnesses. In 2014, doctors diagnosed me with Celiac disease. Ever since, I’ve maintained an exceptional 99.9999% gluten-free diet, meticulously avoiding any accidental gluten exposures.
Besides Celiac, my gallbladder removal led to bile acid malabsorption issues, necessitating a low-fat diet. And if that weren’t enough, I’ve battled a lifelong sugar addiction. To take control of my well-being, I turned to my beloved Peloton bike, becoming my partner in regular exercise and balanced nutrition, effectively managing inflammation, disordered eating, and PMDD.
Creating this website stemmed from a deep desire to share my experiences living and traveling with Celiac and other chronic issues. I want to be your go-to resource for everything gluten-free, from recommending top-notch products to steering you away from the not-so-great ones. Traveling with dietary restrictions can be daunting, but worry not—I’ve got you covered with handy tips and tricks!
As an avid crochet enthusiast, I can’t wait to showcase my latest creations right here. But my blog is more than just about me; it’s about building a supportive community where we learn, grow, and uplift each other. Together, we’ll tackle life’s challenges with resilience, determination, and a sprinkle of creativity.
Join me on this exciting journey of exploration and growth, as we navigate life with Celiac and chronic illnesses hand in hand. Let’s make this adventure one to remember!
With a big smile,
Emily
