Youthful Yogini

This is my journey through yoga and healthy living. I am a lover of yoga and all things natural. This blog is not intended to teach yoga (although I am a yoga instructor) or to provide advice on healthy living. This is just my journey as it affects me. I do hope that this blog inspires you to begin or continue your journey through living a healthy lifestyle. This is not a blog for diagnosis or treatment of any kind.

Gluten-Free for 7 days

OK, I lied, I accidentally had gluten in a rye cracker--didn't know rye contained gluten. However, my mom read my blog and wondered how I was feeling. I told her I was still angry and wondered if I were having gluten withdrawal. Well, my mom, doctor-wannabe, searched the internet and found these sites that showed many people with the same symptoms I'm having (some even as I type this): nervousness, anger, depression, and at times, ravenously hungry. It seems that gluten can act as a drug that can be addictive like heroin! ????? What? That sounds insane...but if this is the case, I have got a few more weeks of detox before I can put this all behind me. OK, so here are the links to the sites she sent to me. Hope it helps any of you out there who is trying to go gluten free.
