OMGosh!!! You have to eat gluten free too?!?!? Just when I thought I couldn’t love you anymore! My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2010 & I was diagnosed in 2012. Do you use Gluten Free foods when you cook in your videos? If you don’t mind me asking do you have Celiac also or another reason to eat gluten free?
