About the Author
In addition to celiac, I also have 17 food allergies. And I'm deathly allergic to peanuts, can't even be near someone who just ate a peanut-y stack or I could end up in the ER.I'm still learning how to live and eat well despite a very restricted diet, which (due to my peanut allergy) also means a restricted life.
