Friday Finisher 2/16/18

Published: Feb 16, 2018 · Modified: Mar 16, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Wednesday, we had heat and hot water again! Do you know how wonderful it feels to take a shower in your on house again? Not to mention not having to stay in one closed off room with a heater blasting! Two weeks without a furnace is...in the dead of winter...not a good thing. You can say it's been extremely difficult and I got so behind on so many things, but we're back in business, scarred, but we're here!

I'm also excited to finally get back in the kitchen and be able to cook/bake/test/shoot recipes again! Normalcy (in the midst of TONS of school work and exams...ugh!) Happy Friday and weekend! I hope YOU are nice and warm wherever you reside! xoxo

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. 💛
