Hey, My name is Kasey James and this is my site dedicated to gluten free eating and well, maybe some cooking too.  When my daughter was born in 2005 I began to feel exhausted all the time.  I thought being tired was normal after having a baby even though I was still in my 20's.  I also have always suffered from migraine headaches but after having my 1st baby, the migraines came on stronger than ever.  After having my son in early 2008, the exhaustion and migraines became even worse.  But again, I thought, well this is what Moms must feel like after having 2 kids. 

 

A very good friend warned that I should not be feeling so exhausted for as young as I was.  She told me about some of the benefits of a gluten free diet and also urged that I find out if I indeed had a gluten intolerance.  Well, after a few months of debating, I decided to go ahead and get tested.  Sure enough, I had a gluten intolerance and the lab that did my report suggested a strict gluten free diet.  I began the diet right away and it has changed so much.  Now I do still get tired but it's a normal tired, say one that comes from chasing a couple of toddlers around!    My migraine headaches also lessened.  Also, some stomach issues I had my whole life, like bloating and retaining water, lessened as well.  I am now living a much happier and healthier life!

 

My son who is now 18 months old was born with underdeveloped lungs.  After a stay in the NICU he came home but I knew something wasn't right pretty early on.  It turned out that he had severe acid reflux and asthma.  My husband and I spent much of our time giving meds and nebulizer treatments.  This precious little boy spent his first year in and out of doctor's offices and hospitals with aspirating pneumonia, asthma attacks, and severe RSV.  We did not have too much success with the reflux meds he tried and most recently and after a lot of research we put him on a gluten free diet as well.  In just a few weeks I noticed that the reflux sound I always heard in his throat was gone and so far so good!  We are very impressed with the results... and I will update this section as he gets further along with this diet.
