Two years ago this May, I was given a positive diagnosis for Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance. No, it’s not cancer-level frightening. But it was definitely a life-altering moment for me. The reality of me having this auto-immune condition meant that I was at a higher risk of infertility, heart disease, cancer & early mortality if I… [Read more…]
