She had been suffering from ongoing problems with food allergies for years. “I just got sick of not feeling great,” Shannon said. “That had been my normal and (I decided) that wasn’t going to be normal anymore.” So she started avoiding dairy, gluten, and eventually all processed foods — especially sugars. It was a game-changer for her.
