Friday Finisher 2/9/18

Published: Feb 9, 2018 · Modified: Mar 27, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

O guys! The Olympics are starting! Are you excited to watch? I'm definitely more into the summer games, but I'll take the winter too. I love just being able to flip the TV on and catch a few glimpses of different events throughout the day. Ice skating, snowboarding, ski jump, and bobsledding are my jam. And props to anyone who makes a living off of a sport that requires them to be in the cold 24/7! I'll stay inside with uh...summer sports! Haha!

Not many links this week; it has been a rough one over here with zero heat, zero hot water (i.e. no furnace) so many normal "tasks" have gotten delayed. Not to mention getting snowed in on Wednesday too. THIS has been my life savor though (and some other home hacks learned from last year). Praying it will be fixed today...

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. 💛
