A Day In the Life of a gluten-intolerant person

I am gluten-intolerant, allergic to cow's dairy (barring butter), allergic to shellfish, soy, mushrooms, and don't eat yeast. With all those dietary restrictions, many people jokingly ask can you eat anything?

Well when I first changed my diet I felt as if there was nothing I could eat. Perhaps that has been a mental/emotional blockage for to take that first step towards a healthier lifestyle.

All that being said I am living proof that yes there is food I can still eat, and thrive on; otherwise I wouldn't still be alive after all!

To illustrate what a day in the life a very dietary restricted person, I am going to share with you what I ate in a day:
