Why I chose to do the “Elimination Diet”
I can’t just pinpoint the why I am doing the elimination diet to one reason. There are a culmination of reasons that play a factor into the why. REASON #1: I am surrounded by so many support systems; my husband, family, friends, co-workers. All who I am so lucky to have in my life that…
