Living a Gluten Free, Vegan lifestyle can be tough…especially for a 20-something actress living in New York City.  But it is something I’ve embraced for my health.  I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when I was 16 and have been coping with it for 6 years with a healthy lifestyle, strong faith, and an amazing support system.  Join me on my culinary adventures for a healthy, happy tummy!

    Hey Caralyn ~ How do I "message you" my email so I can be included in the GFHT email group? I don't want to post my email (call me paranoid) just anywhere. Thanks

    So what made you decide to cut out gluten? UC doesn't require a GF diet.

    I'm a dietitian and happened upon your blog, if you're interested in reading about who requires a GF diet and why they are unnecessary for others, feel free to check out:

    Hi Thalia,
    Thank you for your inquiry. I cut out gluten because I did a lot of research, and found that many people with UC and Crohn's do well with a GF diet. I figured I had nothing to lose, and decided to try it. I found my symptoms significantly improved. With the removal of all grain on the SCD, I was actually able to heal myself of my UC flare.
    Thanks for stopping by. Hope that answers your question.

    GlutenFreeHappyTummy are you still watching your blog?

    With regards to your comment to Jess Scone on her review of some of our products....

    The Vege USA Vegetarian Plus brand is NOT gluten free. So I would not recommend them to you because we do not want you to have a reaction.

    However, these products look, taste and feel like the protein they are substituting.

    Hope you are doing well, and let us know about your next gig.

      Hello, thank you for your concern. I actually do not review products on my blog, so to be honest I didn't really look into what the product she was soliciting. But thanks for the heads up. :) thanks for stopping by!

    do you eat the Paleo and SCD diet as well as the vegan and gluten free? I'm confused. Just found your blog and I am really dumbfounded that you are able to do all these diets! I am barely able to do the gluten free, dairy free (mostly), low fodmap diet! Am interested in reading about your meal choices.

      Hello! Thank you for your questions. I know, it can be a bit confusing. I follow the vegan version of the Specific Carb Diet. The SCD is a gluten free diet, and a slightly more restrictive version of the Paleo diet. The SCD shares many similarities with the Body Ecology Diet, which I did at one point follow, so the recipes that do fall under that category, I label as both. I follow the vegan version of the scd, however I do eat pastured farm egg whites. (I'm allergic to the yolks). I hope that clears things up for you. Everything is gluten free--as the scd, bed and paleo diets are all free from gluten. .

    Okay, time-out. Why have you been hiding this blog? You should be on the Food Network! I'll post an idea on your other blog. (Look for a comment by Messiah Gate, Eternal Christ, or David P.).
