My name is Jon. In 2006 I had a severe allergic reaction to something I ate. After much testing, trips to the doctor, and more allergic reactions we found out that I had a severe allergy to wheat products. From here, I had to change my diet drastically. Nothing tasted good anymore, everything other than fresh produce and vegetables tasted as what I could imagine cardboard tasting like.
About a year later, my mom
got severely sick and was hospitalized at a well-known Boston Hospital. They
did not know what was wrong with her, but knew that there was internal
bleeding. After doing all kinds of blood work, one of
the younger doctors came in and said there was a newer disease that is caused
by gluten intolerance that fits her symptoms. Once they knew this and started
treating her for Celiac Disease she got much better.
My mom and I both have
adapted to cooking techniques. We also like to eat out a lot, but this presents
a challenge since there is cross contamination, and well just a lack of menu
options. My goal is to hopefully share and critique the food at these
restaurants with fellow gluten-intolerant people. Since I also have a degree in
Hospitality Management/ Culinary Management I would also perhaps like to share
some of my recipes and products I use.
