This week I’m working at my uncles’ shower business on RAGBRAI (the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa). I’m also biking a small part of the week-long ride. I’ve abandoned my food sensitivity diet (more on that later) and am eating a gluten free and dairy free diet again. Eating this week has been a lot like what I eat when camping.
This morning I was excited to see yet another article on Celiac Disease in the Des Moines Register! As someone who has been diagnosed as gluten intolerant, I know what it is like to go from a state of chronic illness to being healthy, energetic and happy. Articles like these published in the Des Moines Register are helping to spread awareness about Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance and give people the knowledge they need to change their diet and begin to feel well again.
Locals, be sure to stop by the Des Moines Arts Festival this weekend!
The most recent issue of Kiplinger ranks Des Moines as one of the top 10 Best Cities to Live, Work and Play!
In addition, BestLifeOnline recently ranked Des Moines as the 6th “Best City to Raise a Family.”
While I am blatantly plugging the city of Des Moines, all of you locals need to check out the article published in the Des Moines Register Iowa Life section yesterday (May 28, 2008) about Gluten Intolerance. I am just ecstatic that GI and CD awareness is spreading like sweet, sweet jam on gluten-free toast!
Few things in this world give me the warm fuzzies like the Des Moines Farmer’s Market.
I see people of every variety coming together on a beautiful Saturday morning to enjoy the fruits of local Iowans’ hard work and passion.
