- Name: Katie
- About Me: I am a 29 year old mother of two and a relatively new vegan.
At the end of 2009, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. From October 2009 to March 2011, I was on a number of pretty serious drugs in order to keep my RA symptoms under control. After a health scare, I had to stop taking those medications. Having been given no real hope for controlling the disease on my own, I felt lost.
I started to research online about what I could do to help myself. Time and time again, people mentioned finding relief after cutting animal products and gluten from their diets. As I was already vegetarian, I decided to give it a shot. What did I have to lose?
Within days, the pain and swelling subsided. After a couple of weeks, even the morning stiffness was gone. It was like a miracle!
Gluten-free veganism has done so much for me already. I feel happier and healthier than ever before. I am spending less on groceries. I feel good about everything my children eat. I'm losing weight. I have my life back!
I hope that this blog will help to inspire others who are embarking on this path or even just provide healthy meal options for those looking to reduce their intake of animal products.
