[Brigid]

Where do I start well, I am Brigid and I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I am a "freshie" in rawland. I have toyed with vegetarianism for over 30 years and I eat poultry and seafood on rare occasions. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Disease and Celiac Disease last year. Leaving glutenous foods behind like bread was not difficult but sometimes I crave a gluten pizza and remember all the pain I went through and I walk away from it.

I saw something on television about raw foods and it interested me. I am person who has alway preferred vegetables and fruit to other things. I went to my first raw uncooking class yesterday and it was very interesting and the food was great. Of course one of the great benefits of raw is that I would never have to read a label again.

I fear this may be a little harder for me than walking away from gluten because sometimes I like things like chicken jerky or soups. So, I think I will need support from others who struggle or have struggled, good suggestions etc.
