I had some trouble falling asleep last night. I lay in bed realizing what foods I was now not going to be able to eat. Most of it was food I get when I dine out: fried anything, Italian is one of my favorites and the breads you get at the restaurants, donuts. I love cereal and may have 2 bowls a day since I sometimes have it as a snack.

I love pasta and breads. I know there is a way to make these things, but for now I am going to think about how this is going to be a healthier way of living. At the same time, I know that grains are a big part of the food pyramid and I need to find a substitute to maintain health.

I have been relieved to find many resources on the Internet and a Facebook friend has come forward to tell me that she, too, has Celiac's. I have a lot of learning to do and look forward to finding the answers.
