I have decided that on January 1st
I’m finally going to commit to the 30-60 day Whole30 diet. As of right now, even sticking with strict gluten free, I’m right back to feeling sick all the time. I’m not sure if it’s dairy or if there is something else I’m now sensitive to but the Whole30 is the best way to find…
