Hello...

I'm new to MFP, and trying to learn this site, and how to use it. My friend told me what a wonderful place this is, it's helped her a lot! My doctor put me on a gluten free diet which begins on Monday. I am reading, learning, planning, and preparing until then. He suspects I may be gluten sensitive, and NY State won't allow the test for that, so the only way to find out is to take the gluten out of my diet to see if it helps my health issues, and then we'll know gluten is the problem. Because Celiac Disease is in my family, the risks for gluten sensitivity for me is much higher. I have lost over 70 pounds in the last year on another plan, and that has been a huge blessing. I have about 50 more pounds to go to reach my goal weight. So eating gluten free will be a challenge. But eating gluten free AND healthy will be even more difficult. But I know I can do it. It's nice to meet you.
