Aloha

Welcome Shackers!

I’m Susan Jones. I am the mother of four crazy children, I and one of my sons have complications from gluten, and I am the real deal when it comes to learning about and living with gluten issues. I have spent hours reading about gluten and even more time reading about how to avoid gluten. I’ve stood in the grocery store blankly staring at the gluten free aisle feeling confused about what I was supposed to be buying. I am an intelligent woman and I have always thought the transition into a gluten free lifestyle is way too complicated. So I did what most intelligent people do when faced with a difficult task, I procrastinated.

Well, I’m tired of trying to connect the dots and fill in the blanks. I have decided to finally be the change I wish to see in the gluten free world. My personal goal is to make this easier, as it should be! I want everyone who has an interest in living gluten free to have a place to come where we can learn, share and grow together. I want a place where Mom’s of autistic children can share stories and have a shoulder to lean on. I want a place where people can come for the perfect recipe for dinner, and to be able to purchase products at a reasonable price. I have been where all of you are, and I’m done feeling helpless, confused and I’m ready to make a change.
