9. My wife is gluten free

She figured that out about a year ago. We figured out it was the cause of her headaches and it was making her PCOS worse. I do most of the cooking in the house so I have had to learn to adjust. But it isn't as bad as it first seems.

I think where you live can make a huge difference. We live on the east coast and our local grocery stores have a great selection of gf products. Plus a lot of our local restaurants cater to gf needs - we went out after church today and had gf pizza and gf beer!

I will say that I have started cooking lot more from scratch so that I can use gf flour. It's kinda fun figuring out what works and what doesn't (Bob's Red Mill and King Arthur gf flour are my favorites). Also, believe it or not, Aldi has a great variety of gf products at a pretty good price.

So it was hard at first but we have figured it out. You definitely will too.
