❤️ HEART-TO-HEART ❤️
This little boy is Dawson.
Most people know me from sharing gluten-free recipes, bread, cookies, and tips for navigating a gluten-free lifestyle. What many don’t know is that our journey didn’t begin in the kitchen.
It began in doctor’s offices.
It began with questions.
It began with watching my son hurt while we searched for answers.
As a mom, there are moments that never leave you. Sitting beside Dawson in rooms like this is one of them.
At the time, we had no idea that some of the symptoms he was experiencing could be connected to celiac disease. We didn’t know how much food could impact a child’s health. We just knew something wasn’t right.
This photo represents one small piece of a much bigger story.
Over the coming weeks and months, I’ll be sharing more of our family’s journey—the struggles, the victories, the lessons we’ve learned, and the things I wish someone had told us sooner.
Because if our story helps even one family find answers faster, then it’s worth sharing.
Have you ever had a season where you knew something wasn’t right but couldn’t find the answers?
❤️ Ashtyn
