Checking in

I'm so terrible about updating on here. I know last year I said I started losing hair again, which I still am but on the bright side it hasn't progressed much further. I still avoid gluten because now I get stomach pains along with an ill feeling when I do eat it. Plus, I just feel better. My experience in uncovering the effects of what we eat affects our bodies has been a huge journey for me and I will continue to eat healthy to avoid gluten, processed foods, large amts of sugar, and stay…

Gluten free=hair slowly coming back

Well I haven't been on in a while but summer has been busy I guess.
