Friday Finisher 2/24/17

Published: Feb 24, 2017 · Modified: Apr 22, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

The start of my YouTube career! Haha! Don't laugh, I tried! The video is live! At least it's done and now we can only get better, right? I haven't posted it to the big bad Facebook page yet; just waiting for the most opportune time! I've waited this long, I can wait a bit longer 😉

By wait, I mean after my second statistics test today :O This ones "easier", only 50 questions! But still, numbers, samples, correlation coefficients, always scary! I feel way better about it all than in the beginning of the semester. Once you get into the flow of things, you just want to keep going until you're done and as we're at midterm week, I'm halfway there!

Cheers to the weekend, I see warm temps, but clouds, rain, and thunder on the forecast for NJ! Stay safe, have fun, cook food!

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. 💛
