In 2008, my granddaughter Aivah was diagnosed with Celiac disease and a casein allergy. Our first reaction to her diagnosis was an overwhelming feeling of confusion and frustration. We realized there were many others who were living in the same confused fog that we were, searching for the same answers. In order to share our experiences and provide information, our website was created.
We began as Don't Feed Me, LLC. When we finally discovered what was wrong with Aivah, our main thought was DON'T FEED HER! Until we were able to research Celiac disease and all the derivatives of wheat, rye and barley, we were afraid to feed her. Period. We also needed to remove all dairy products and their derivatives. "Don't Feed" was topmost in our thoughts. An initial reaction to receiving a diagnosis of Celiac disease or a food allergy is that most of the familiar foods need to be removed. "Don't" is a large part of the thought process.
It is now 3 years later and we've learned so much about Celiac disease and many food allergies. We're much calmer about the foods she can eat, familiar with the derivatives of wheat, rye, barley and dairy. We know it's not impossible to change your lifestyle and there is hope for the future. We felt it was time for a calmer, more positive company name and logo and chose On The Wings of Hope. The name Aivah means small bird. The tiny hummingbird is a symbol for accomplishing things that seem impossible and teaches us how to find the joy of living from our own life circumstances. Living with the life circumstances of Celiac disease and food allergies can seem impossible, at first. With time, support and good resources we learn to find the hope and joy in living with the challenges of Celiac disease and food allergies.
Let us help you find that hope. We will carry you on our wings until you do.
