Someone asked me a while back, “What is the biggest mistake people make with a GFCF diet?” My answer was then and still is today – SUGAR! When coaching families who have claimed, “gluten-free casein-free diet did not work for us," we many times have discovered that the amounts of sugar they were consuming daily were extremely high. How many grams of sugar do you think you’ve eaten today?

The heat is ablazin’ here in Texas, leaving no room for argument that summer is in full swing. Moms everywhere are packing up their coolers of sugar-pouch drinks, oily chips, cheesy puffed sticks, and cream-laden cones and setting up camp with a poolside view. On a yeast-free, cheesy-puff-free, ice-cream-free diet, it is easy to feel like your left in the shade. It’s a good thing that the shade is exactly where you want to be right now!
