Friday Finisher 11/10/17

Published: Nov 10, 2017 · Modified: Mar 27, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Guys! There are 13 days until Thanksgiving! How did that happen? Once Thanksgiving is over, I always feel like Christmas just rushes forward with a blink of the eye. No holding back (but I am looking forward to picking out a Christmas tree. Which I think should go up before December). My Hallmark Christmas movies are keeping me patient in the meantime. One thing I'm not liking is the DARKNESS from the time change last weekend. My body needed a few days to adjust to the "extra hour". I kept waking up at 3am (instead of the usual 4am). Guess that proves I don't need an alarm, eh?

I totally dropped the ball on this one, but last Friday, November 3rd, was my 9 year Gluten-Free/Celiac Anniversary. I've been gluten-free for 9 years now! I was going to do something "big" here on Strength and Sunshine...but obviously not. I guess planning will have to go into the 10 year mark, eh? Seems like a bigger thing to acknowledge anyway! I guess it also shows how much "gluten-free" and "celiac disease" is a part of my life and doesn't really get a second thought anymore.

Here's to a fabulous weekend and Friday Finisher reading! Stay warm, gluten-free friends (it's getting SO cold here...)

Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞 So Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞

So many people still confuse the two, but it’s an autoimmune disease, not an allergy. That means gluten doesn’t cause an immediate allergic reaction resulting in hives or swelling…it causes your immune system to attack your small intestine longterm. 

This distinction matters because:
👉 There’s no medication or quick fix
👉 The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet
👉 Mislabeling it as an “allergy” is scientifically incorrect. There is no such thing as a gluten allergy.

Swipe through to learn why the distinction is inportant and why accurate education and awareness is paramount. Let’s set the record straight and not mislabel our disease when speaking about it. 💛
