Why? Well, one of the symptoms of gluten and casein allergy is the swelling of many things – including the brain. I’m assuming this is cause for the oft-mentioned “brainfog” that people talk about as a side effect of ingesting gluten. And going GFCF is a major undertaking for even the clearest of minds. So I think that when making such a drastic life changing decision, it’s best to have all the help you can have! So a the husband of a friend of mine is a great guy: Economy Sized Geek. He turned me on to this wonderful app, Evernote. It’s the best thing that could have ever happened to my de-fogging brain. 
It’s a cross-platform app (I use it on my iPhone and Macs, but they have it PC too) that syncs all kinds of useful information and files. Recipes, GFCF shopping lists, links to websites, photos… you can organize and store and sync everything in once convenient place.
Here’s a real world example of how I use it. Tonight we had Taco Night and I had to do research to see what was GFCF. So I googled everything I wanted to find, found wonderfully helpful recipes and hints. But I never trust myself to remember all the brands that are safe: every time I’m standing in front of the shelves, I get overwhelmed and can’t remember which was good and which I’d read wasn’t safe. So I clicked my handy Evernote link in my Safari toolbar: 
It saved the helpful links right to my account. Then I typed up a quick shopping list and saved it to my account. Then I hit the “Sync” button, grabbed my phone and went to the store. When I got there, I just opened my Evernote app and there were my entries! Super fast and easy and no gluten or casein mistakes were made tonight.
And the best part of this whole procedure is that now I never have to worry about Taco Night again! I always have my phone with me, so I can just stop by the grocery store on the way home and know exactly what I need without doing all the preplanning again.
So let me just say this one more time: I love Evernote! It will be my electronic memory until my recovery is complete.
