Celiac friends!

Hi everyone! I'm Allie, and I was just diagnosed with Celiac disease on April 8th. Along with that, I am also dealing with a rare disease in my left knee (Avascular Necrosis), and also may need my gallbladder removed... all within the last 8 months. LOL
This all kicked me into gear, I have no choice but to treat my body better. Losing weight will help my knee greatly, and no matter what if I want to stay healthy, I need to follow a gluten-free and even potentially sugar/fat limited intake.
I'd love to have some buddies to hold me accountable and vice versa, Celiac buddies or really anybody!

    I can be a Celiac buddy. I was diagnosed in 2008. I lost a lot of weight initially but let bad foods creep back into my diet. There are lots of unhealthy gluten-free options, sadly. I'm mostly eating whole foods, plant-based right now. Last night I cheated and ate corn bread. :-( It does help to be accountable to someone. Feel free to add me!
