. . . hellllllllp!!!!!! . . .

. . . we've had a crazy few days now

of trying to wrap our heads 

around this new challenge . . . 

. . . the exact thing 

we were hoping it wasn't . . .

{it's also a hiatal hernia and pylori [ulcer causing] bacteria}

. . . seriously . . .

. . . i'm considering 

a legal name change 

for my husband . . .

. . . william job romney . . .

. . . it has a nice ring to it, no? . . .

. . . our sweet daughter 

has been trying to cushion the blow 

with the perfect book {for me}, 

barro's gluten free pizza, 

gluten free brownies from aj's 

and a gluten free 

red velvet sprinkles cupcake {for bill} . . . 

{favorite quote from this book, so far ~ 

"Left untreated or insufficiently treated, 

celiac disease can lead to damage to other organs. 

If properly treated, celiac disease typically leads to . . . nothing!"}

. . . hoping el charro 

can figure out how to make 

a gluten free bean burro enchilada style

 and a gluten free cheese crisp . . . 

. . . but, i'm not holding my breath . . . 

i feel very lucky to have a sister-in-law who has been extra diligent 

about feeding her high school aged daughter 

{diagnosed with celiac as a baby} a gluten free diet. 

she will be a valuable resource. 

also, thanks to amanda's good friend, nikki, 

who has been keeping her two-year-old gluten free for six months now. 

i'm open to any and all ideas, tips, and/or suggestions. 

it will be so wonderful to get my husband's digestive tract 

back to healthy again. 

it won't be easy, but we can do it.
