A New Path....

I have still been experiencing some digestive trouble since my illness in January/February and so once again I headed to my GI doctor yesterday. Yes, on a Sunday, but I was going to have to wait even longer if I didn't take yesterdays appointment.  Anyway, he saw me and as I began my story, a smile crept on to his face. He patiently waited for me to finish and then replied, "I've been thinking of you and a few of my other patients this past week!" Okay, CREEPY!!! Just kidding!  He said he thinks with the symptoms I've been telling him about that I may be gluten intolerant.  I know that presently I do not have Celiac Disease, but it is quite possibly gluten sensitivity or intolerance.  So he asked me to go gluten free for the next month. I was amazed in some ways but expecting it in others.  Already I am noticing some subtle changes in how I feel nothing drastic for sure, but better! I would ask you if you don't mind to be praying for me.  This is a huge change for me as I love me some warm homemade bread with butter melting off of it, but alas, until I can find a good gluten free version no butter melting bread for me!  I do want to feel better and if this is the change I need to make, I will try to embrace it with semi-open arms! LOL!!  I know God wants to teach me new and exciting things through this new path! Also if you have celiacs or gluten intolerance and you have some good recipes...I am completely open to any help!!  Thank you for all your love and encouragement!
