Welcome to Eats by April

You're trying to figure out if gluten is a problem for you or not.

Here's the deal: You're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

You've had bloating, nausea, gas and stomach pain for a while now.

You're so done with pants that fit in the morning and don't fit at night.

It's been years of this and you've had all the tests known to man and still the doctors cannot figure out what is wrong with you!

All the appointments and test after test are so. Freakin'. Exhausting.

So you're struggling with...well, who knows?!

Is it menopause? Gluten? Dairy? GERD? Candida? An undiagnosed medical issue?

Whatever it is, you're ready to find out and get it sorted.

You've started tracking your food and symptoms as a start but it's taking a while.

You've got prescriptions from your doctor to control your symptoms but you don't wanna be on them for the rest of your life.

Or, maybe you just found out that gluten has got to go. You've started cutting gluten from your life. Now what?🤯

So maybe you had a test come back positive or you've just decided to do the research yourself.

And not only did you find out you had GERD (or reflux), you also found out you were gluten intolerant at the same time!

So you started giving up gluten but let's be honest: it's probably the hardest thing you've ever had to do (harder than quitting smoking).

You LOVE pasta and bread and crackers and well. You get the idea.

You've had some success in reducing the symptoms, but let's face it: who can live on chicken, eggs, vegetables and nuts?

Not you🙅‍♀️

And frankly non-gluten items at the grocery store or restaurants are often less than appetizing so yes, sometimes you have gluten and then you have a flare up and it takes days/weeks to get your gut back in a healthy state.

And honestly, there's probably some sources of gluten that you're eating without even knowing it.

Because you've started looking at food labels, there's sneaky sources of gluten in foods you didn't even know!

Hello, Jimmy Dean's sausage, chicken broth and Rice Krispies🤯

You WANT to go gluten-free and you're always looking for tasty recipes, but too busy to test them.

You KNOW that gluten-free is the way to go for you.

Because you've eaten gluten on purpose, knowingly and then you paid for it😢

Or maybe you've been gluten-free for years! You're here for new recipes and tips and tricks along the way.

You've been gluten-free for a while now.

You don't think twice about "missing out" on cake at your son's 10th birthday party because you brought your own gluten-free cupcake.

You know which foods to stay away from at restaurants and if you can have the fries that were cooked in the same deep fryer as the chicken fingers.

You're even experimenting with gluten-free sourdough, quinoa flakes, and really appreciate it when the local pizza place finally offers gluten-free crust that isn't like, total cardboard.
