Gluten free fair

I am going to a gluten free fair today at a nearby grocery store. For those not sure what this is...it is NOT where they give away free gluten. It is for getting samples of gluten-free foods.

For those that don't know yet...I am gluten intolerant which means I cannot eat anything with gluten in it which means no wheat, rye or barley. I have been this way for several years now and it is still hard. I get very sick when I consume it and avoid it like the plague.

Fortunately for the past year or so there has been a ton of new products and some even taste good.  The only problem is that people has use this to make a quick buck and the products are very expensive. I don't mind too much as long as they taste good. But when you spend $5 for a 4oz package of crackers...they are just not gourmet and most times they are not even eatable. I cannot even begin to count how many things  I had to throw away cuz they tasted awful.

That is why this tasting is so important to me. I get finally to try a few things without playing Russian roulette.  By now almost everyone knows someone who has this problem and is pretty aware of it. It is getting to be recognized more and more. I am pretty sure I have had this all my life and a darn shame it was not found earlier. But...water under the bridge as they say. I know now and am much healthier.
