gluten. i hate you.

Alright, so ever since I had Noah, I would get terrible stomach pains at times when I ate. I didn't know what was wrong with me and thought that it could have just been after effects from the pregnancy or something. Because of that I never went to a doctor. Anyway, about a month ago I was dieting, by not eating carbs pretty much and I realized that I wasn't having any more stomach pain. I have a cousin and an aunt who can't have gluten, and I heard it can be a genetic thing, so I tried completely cutting gluten out of my diet and I feel much better. Therefore, I have found out I am gluten intolerant. Ugh. The part that sucks is that I have recently gotten way in to cooking and baking...gluten is in almost everything! side note: does anyone know where to find gluten free food besides sprouts? Sprouts just doesn't have much of a variety. Also, is there anyone who would like to volunteer to eat the baked goods that I make? I still love baking but I can't eat the stuff  and my family feels like I'm trying to make them fat. But, is it just me, or does it seem like this whole "people being allergic to gluten" thing just kind of took fire and now there are gluten free things everywhere. I had only ever heard of gluten a couple years ago and now it seems like so many people can't have it. Anyway, I just thought that was weird. Also, if anyone ever needs a cake/cupcakes/cookies made for any reason, let me know. They probably wont be pretty, but they will taste good.
