When I think of the usual bun fight in Anglican church basements or the refreshments served at both Evangelical and Catholic churches, I see recipes for diabetes, obesity, any number of auto-immune diseases and all around unhealthful bounty.Several years ago, I found out I have Celiac disease, a connective tissue disorder and auto-immune reaction to wheat. A couple of others in our small parish are also gluten sensitive, so there’s often a special table with gluten-free goodies for us, separate from the delectable-looking egg salad sandwiches and baby croissants with sliced ham.As I get older and start to show various signs of aging, arthritis here, stiffness there, occasional trouble going down stairs too fast I have become more and more interested in finding out what I can do to restore my health or at least protect what mobility that remains.My doctor has been telling me for some time now that people who give up wheat but eat a lot of gluten-free products (often loaded with carbohydrates) and grains in general do not do as well as those who eliminate grains.So last fall I tried the Whole30 Challenge
